The show is not terrible, well a little terrible. Had this show not been under the Addams Family banner, it might have just been another Netflix series, an okay watch. My problem is that they and when I say they I mean Tim Burton, took some iconic characters and distorted them into rather dull and dreary nobodies. Not the first time he has done so, turning the charismatic Willy Wonka into a sinister creep. I have no problem with the casting, but where is the charisma, the joy, the wicked sense of humour that the Addams Family are known for. They revel in the macabre the absurd, I am sure that Morticia and Gomez probably would have chuckled at Wednesday's antics, not sent her to boarding school. The show is way too serious, it went from kooky to emo. I am not saying don't watch the show, you may like it, it has some really good elements, but it is not the Addams.
