She does not blink. Things like that make it so much more immersive and just a little creepy. I love details like that in shows and movies because I may not consciously catch it but it still makes the character more complex and real. So you may be asking why I have this at 2 stars. The writing is not well done. Wednesday's motivations do not make sense in the Addams family universe. It feels like they wrote a young P. I. story and then they added Wednesday into it for the name recognition. Luis Guzmán is a good actor but in this, I do not see the charisma that is needed for the role. I found him annoying. Catherine Zeta-Jones, I think she is phoning it in.

The few moments that it feels like Wednesday Addams show are great. The one or two times that it happens. This is not a good Addams family show. It had potential. I wish it could have lived up to that. I loved the Addams and Munsters when I was a kid in the 90s.

It is sad to see the remakes and reimagining. When it does not seem like the people that are making them understand what made the originals great. I do not think in 10 years people will be talking about this show like they do with the Addams and Munsters and it is the same with any of the new remakes.

If you are going to remake something that is loved. You need to be a good writer and understand what makes something great. Know that it is not your work. Understand and have love for the source material. If you start putting your story into it. The fans normally will recognize it as something new and with the name of the work we loved. It feels hollow and I see it as a mockery. It is why I think people call things like this fanfiction.
