Growing up with Ricci as the prospective serial killer child, more recent attempts to reboot the franchise have fallen flat. Moretz was good in the animated films but it still missed Ricci's little nuances.

This doesn't feel like a reboot but a proper follow-up to Addams Family Values - a few years later with the adolescent spooky kooky Wednesday being bundled off to a 'Hogwarts for Xaviers' and trying NOT to mingle but still attracting friends (and enemies) while uncovering a mystery.

Only just starting last episode now (8 episodes making it easy to binge) and hope there will be more.

Ortega takes on Ricci's Wednesday and expands on it further, and with Ricci taking on a substantial supporting role as a teacher works much better than it could have.
