Went in to Wednesday not expecting much and it turned out to be very good. I think the biggest reason is two of the stars - Jenna Ortega as the deadpan Wednesday and the outstanding Gwendoline Christie as fashionable yet acidly sweet Principal Weems. These two along with an ok cast, great sets and fantastic costume make this rather thin murder/mystery keep you engaged. Also, the whole concept of Nevermore Academy is just a rip off of Hogwarts, in this case for 'outcast' that covers vampires, wolves, sirens and gorgons. That part of the story, and the supernatural elements, is deficient to say the least. Yet, this is much more a tween oriented series so on that basis Wednesday is much better than a lot of other series out there.
