While watchable, I found the show to be far less entertaining than all the praise would suggest it should be. The cast is good, but the dialogue is just too stiff and contrived for me. It reminds me a lot of Harry Potter in that respect, never feels authentic or believable. As a result I never connected with any of the characters, and all the "suspenseful" thriller moments I was completely disconnected and borderline bored.

Wednesday is ok, she has her flaws obviously although I found her know it all personality was used way to often as an escape boat in situations she was caught in. She kinda grew as a character by the end, so at least there is that. Besides her, there was absolutely no other character that captured interest. They all seemed like shallow CW teen drama characters.

The mystery was probably the only thing that really kept me interested, even though I predicted the "bad guys" in episode 1. Overall it's ok, not worthy of the Tim Burton name even though he's involved, just doesn't stack up to his older work.

If you like Addams Family and Harry Potter, you'll probably enjoy the show. If not, you might struggle to stay interested. It's certainly not a 9 or 10/10 show. Some folks are too easily entertained it seems.
