At first glance,"Wednesday" appears to be a very high-end glossy production, but I am skeptical because I do not see the need to redo the character of Wednesday after Christina Ricci has perfected it in the 90s. Then to my surprise, Christina Ricci is part of this cast which implies that she gives her stamp of approval. I only know Jenna Ortega from "You" in 2019 as a bratty mouthy teenager; I do not have high hopes but I want to give her a chance, and oh yes she delivers! Ortega should be commended for carrying the show throughout. That is not an incidental accomplishment, rather an expectation and she easily meets it. Wednesday is emotionless yet you cannot take your eyes off her face. Emma Myers as Enid is also wonderful. We find ourselves a couple of young actresses to watch and root for in the future. The dialogue here is witty, highlighting the biting one-liners uttered by Wednesday in rapid-fire fashion. Then we have the beautiful cinematography accompanied by a rich soundtrack. The twists and turns are also done well. Finally, a decent show that is both dark and feel-good to come out of Netflix! Dahmer this is not.
