Review is after this brief message that prepare yourself for the normal Netflix trend of putting in a bunch of political messages. All parables really. Apersons whos parents don't accept them and want "conversion therapy". Many cases of stuff like this that you will notice if you looked deeper. And of course the push for race/religion/gender stuff as always. Sometimes its hard to notice, other times its very visible like when out of no where you briefly meet a teens "moms". You meet them for a few seconds, but never hear from them again.

At least if your going to make statements, add them into the story and not just quick snippets. Because it looks like you try to hard to get people to think your diverse. People like diverse when you actually don't shove it in ones face in a brief scene so you can say "See, we are diverse!"

So onto the rest of the series....

I love this darker version of Wednesday and the Addams family. The actress plays the role perfectly. I was actually surprised how bland Zeta felt playing Morticia. Gomez's actor was great in the role. So was Pugsley and Lurch. Even Thing was great. I love they gave him a more creepy look with scars and a sown up nub where the arm used to be.

Without spoiling anything I will just say the theme of the show is solving a mystery. And a good one at that as it has you questioning everyone and then revealing "Wow, I was wrong!" Along side the mystery is of course the story of a school for ....more super natural gifted students.

Now as for who may like this series? If you want cute family with light "darkness" like the old movies and show, this isn't for you. However if you want a more darker and stranger version, this is for you. The show does feature blood and guts, nothing extreme mind you. But enough that you probably don't want your young kids seeing it. And it deals with some more adult stuff.

This isn't to say it doesn't have its funny moments of course. The comedy is still there, just a bit darker then normal. And Wednesday alone often makes you laugh because she is much darker, brooding and cold then normal.

Lastly I will say for those who gave it a 1 or 10, these are the reviews to ignore. They always complain about the show got the opposite number. 10s don't exist in reviews. And 1s are very rare. 1 would mean the shoe was literally unwatchable. Poorly filmed, terrible acting, no story, bad editing....etc..

And many of the negative reviews often mention Wednesday being to dark and way to cold to her mother. Well yes, she is darker. But as for her mother, all I can say is you obviously didn't watch past the first few episodes.
