If you are a teenager or still want to be one you will probably enjoy Wednesday but for everyone else it is sort of predictable and depressing. There is ample angst thrown from Wednesday who is apparently great at everything she does: foreign languages, espresso repair, history, science, math, martial arts, yep she can do it all nearly perfectly.

The original Adams Family was entertaining because they were dysfunctional characters trying to fit into a normal world. Their world was slightly terrifying but never shown in depth, or taken too seriously, so you didn't start feeling awkward about laughing.

Wednesday, however, starts to dive into their world and you realize they might be terrible people or at least severely mentally ill. Its the problem turning a comedy into a serious story. Imagine if The Simpsons became a drama and we all have to deal with the fact that Homer is just an abusive alcoholic who we probably shouldn't be laughing at.
