I've really been looking forward to this series for a long time and that while this is my first contact with the addams family. I'm going to say right away that the character they've picked is really fantastic to make a spin-off about. Jenna Ortega plays really, really well and it's that I don't like horror that much, otherwise I would really like to see more of her in similar roles. At first the series reminded me a bit of Harry Potter and you can also compare it to that. That is where my first point of criticism comes in, and that is that it sometimes looks a bit too much like Harry Potter. Sometimes things have been taken literally and I thought that was a bit of a shame. I don't mean to say that I think the series is stolen, but it could have had a bit more of its own style (especially at the beginning), especially with regard to the school. The characters in the series are really, really nice. What I also really like about those characters is that they all have a little caracter arch. Not a very big one, just big enough in my opinion for a first season. What I also liked was that the Addams family also gets a little more backstory in the series. I will now go straight to my last point of criticism and that is that the series is perhaps a bit too much aimed at children. Yes, it is really very dark at times, but I would have preferred that the dialogue, for example, be a little less aimed at children. What I also want to say is that the soundtrack is really fantastic again. I definitely recommend watching this series. If I had to describe this series in short I would say that it is a nice spin-off with nice side characters but that is a bit too much aimed at children. There are some parts that gave me goosebumps. I'm mainly talking about the final episode.

7.7/10.
