I actually liked the Addams family movies form 1990s. I enjoyed the humor and the plot alike.

This show, I did not understand the appeal. While I certainly have a lot of compliments to give to the cast and directors, the whole story is just unlikeable to me. It seems as if they took a bunch of famous tv shows and movies, pieced them together and said "here". The show is literally Wednesday Addams family frame, but inside the picture there's Harry Potter, Twilight and even Stranger Things. Only one single part of the plot felt original, and it's the plot twist at the very end (admittedly one of the biggest plot twists I have ever seen, I did not see it coming).

I also do not understand how Wednesday at first decides to drop piranhas into a pool, but later she has to catch the monster and save everyone? At first she thinks piranhas in a pool with people are fine, but later goes "Oh I must save people"? I did not understand.

But compliments must be given where they are due. Jenna Ortega is FANTASTIC as Wednesday Addams- her blank deadpan face is working so well for both her and the entire show. The costume design is absolutely stunning (especially for the principal), and so are the scenes. But the main plot is just overused and boring.
