Creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky, and I'm usually first in line for ooky....however, THIS is not that, nor what I expected. I was first kind of shocked this historically family-oriented show was bloody and violent. Then it got kinda monotonous and a bit boring. Yes, I made it through the whole series....while cleaning house, folding clothes, cooking and pestering my dogs. That said, I must confess, I'm an intense watcher of good stuff, sometimes watching things over and over, never missing a thing, and discovering more each viewing...like Joker, Scarface, Silence of the Lambs. But once is enough watching Wednesday. I too, was a bit disappointed in how Gomez was cast with Luis Guzman. I enjoy his work, but cast here, was a chemistry mismatch for Zeta-Jones. Jenna Ortega, cast as Wednesday, can certainly hold her own and I think is an up and coming, attractive and talented actress. I would be compelled to watch her in something else. Regarding Uncle Fester, I heard him before I saw him and thought surely, it was Steve Buscemi. Nope. Fred Armisen. As for Wednesday, shame on her for belittling and bullying Thing, whom she counted on a lot.
