So i just finished watching the latest adams family adaptation, Wednesday. Admittedly, i never really got into the old movies or other adaptations (except for the animated series when i was a kid), but being a long time tim burton fan( which hasn't always been easy), this version intrigued me. My thoughts on the series are.......mixed. Some good, some bad, overall complicated. Jenna Ortega was definitely the stand out, and she acted circles around the rest of the cast. Burtons signature gothic style is all over the screen, and having him work again with danny elfman was definitely a welcome addition for any burton fan. This is easily the best product hes put out in years, which unfortunately isn't saying much since his last few projects have been, just, bad. The story, while being filled with cliches, was certainly enjoyable and kept my interest even through some of the things I didn't like, enough to make me wanna see what was gonna happen next and how it was all gonne end. I'd even say some of the comedy was well done and had some very smartly written joke. However, the show definitely has some flaws. Some of the characters were just straight up annoying, and their performances definitely didn't help. I know the whole adams family thing is "quirky", but some characters were definitely trying to hard. Also, like i said earlier, there were so many clichés and cringy lines that it made it a little hard to get through at times. Some of the cgi was just bad, like 90s cereal commercial bad. Also, i found the climax to be a little, well, anticlimactic. Though there was one twist i genuinely didn't see coming, the rest of it was pretty predictable. Overall i cant say this is a bad show, and i would be interested in a season 2, but it's not particularly great either. So, I'd give it an ok.
