So I wasn't going to write a review on this show but after reading some of the other review I thought I'd share my opinion. I'm a big fan of the old school Addams, you know the black and white version. I have enjoyed the more recent movies as well. But to try and compare any of these the very original show is a bit ridiculous. Now with that being said, Jenna Ortega did an amazing job as Wednesday, I don't care what anyone says. Now the the actors selected to play the rest of Addams are trash. They do not mesh at all, no harmony, and Catherine Zeta-Jones looks like she being approached by a disease everytime Luis Guzman gets in close. There is NO romance there. If there is no bond between Gomez & Morticia then the family falls apart. I see this as a different view of Wednesday's life because in this series she is a teenager, she's not a little girl, she is unapologetically herself. She is weird, out of place, and just all out oddball. But what teen isn't. The character is still Wednesday Addams but older. The show is about her and her peers. How they interact and how the other misfits treat her. I do think they drug it out where they could've probably wrapped it up in 6 maybe 7 episodes. But don't compare it to the Addams family movies, or even the original. Watch it knowing Wednesday isn't a little girl anymore and now she navigates the normies and the world.
