A thoroughly enjoyable reboot from Netflix, bringing the Addam's Family to a new generation, this time centering on fan-favourite, Wednesday.

Fun and well-paced, the fantasy world created allows for a whole host of horror themes to be brought on screen in something palatable for a younger audience, but still entertaining for those older - perfectly in-keeping with previous iterations of the family. This wealth of fiction within the spooky world gives so much opportunity for storylines and characters, whether they be fleeting or vital to the plot.

Whilst the plot can be fairly predictable - Wednesday investigating a mystery revolving around her town, new school and own family - it never becomes so outright obvious that it spoils the story. Episodes are split well, each main character gets an opportunity to develop and the swift pace keeps enough excitement split up well enough.

Ortega is an inspired casting for the titular character, her ability to deliver deadpan monologues and retorts unblinkingly being absolutely perfect for the role. The majority of the cast suit their roles, particularly Zeta-Jones and Guzmán, and even though they may not be mainstays in the series, their impact is felt. Whilst I'm not a fan of Armisen's Uncle Fester, all of the 'children' - of whom the series is centred on - plays their parts well and are more vital for the success of the show.

Whilst costuming is great and the settings too - very similar to 2004's 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' style - the main monster within the series has the worst special effects of all. Little CGI is used, so this being looks a little goofy and out of place. There are few large CGI moments, but the involvement of this creature leads to a fairly un-aesthetic fight in the final episode.

Wednesday is befitting of it's time, a pleasantly-morbid modern update to the infamous Addam's Family.
