This show is the reminiscent of my childhood, as I grew up watching the 1991 version of the Addams Family and the 1998 TV Series. Even though, the series focuses on Wednesday Addams and her adolescent problems such as her fight not to be like her mother, love affairs etc. And her life among the other outcasts , it still has the feeling of the old show with all the interesting family members. To be honest, I wish we could've seen a little bit more of the other family members but that's not a big deal as the series' called Wednesday.

I want to underline another point before coming to the flawless performance by Jenna Ortega, which is the lack of representation of some outcast members. I haven't understood the the purpose of other outcast members than Enid, Bianca, Eugene and Xavier. It's understandable as Nevermore is a huge school with many outcasts but I would like to see at least more of Yoko as she seems to be written to be an important character but we could see not many scenes including her. Hopefully, we'll see more from other outcasts next season.

Now lets come to the point of Jenna's performance which instantly increases my rating by one point. I'm not unfamiliar with her performance as I've watched her on The Fallout, Stuck in the Middle, X and Scream, but I was still shocked when I watched episode 1 of Wednesday. I've watched lots of movies and series this year but her performance as Wednesday has impressed me the most. It's no shocker as she had given lots and lots of efforts to portray the character before the shooting started (learning Cello, fencing, archery and German). I don't even need to mention the dancing scene :) It's pleasing to see she finally gets the attention she's already deserved from the fans and critics.

I know it'd be a long review as I'm unable to shorten my ideas as a non-native speaker, so I added a pros cons section for ease to read :)

CONS -Lack of relationship with family members and representation of them.

-Lack of representation of characters other than major characters and some minor ones.

-Some CGI are a little bit cartoonish.

-Script could be little bit darker and gory which would make the series more Tim Burtonesque (As the show's rated 18+)

PROS + JENNA ORTEGA, she's just flawless, I couldn't think of any other cast for the role after Christina Ricci's performance

+EMMA MYERS. She's so cool, funny and colorful. Enid is perfect other half to complete Wednesday's Ying with her Yang :)

+Thing <3

+Christina Ricci

+All other cast (Yes, including Luis Guzman :) as opposed to the most of the comments saying he's not the right choice, I loved his Gomez and he looks like the Gomez from comic strips)

+Directing is really solid, especially the first 4 episodes.

P. S. I still wanna see an Addams Family story directed and/or produced by Tim Burton, maybe after that he would give it a shot.
