I'm not sure which is worse in this series for Netflix - the story, the acting or the pure, derelict destruction of the Addams family memory.

The story puts Wednesday in a mystery to solve, turning her into a emotionless Nancy Drew style character (or "Angsty Drew"). The mystery is not that deep or involved, so I hoped the characters would shine out, but sadly not.

The Addams Family members are completely new characters, full of emotion and empathy, making them nothing like the original Addams Family members. They all seem to phone in their performances too.

The wider cast is ok, but seeing Christina Ricci makes you feel sad that she's not playing an older Wednesday in a more adult story, which would have been much more enjoyable.

The performance by "Thing" (the hand) overwhelmingly outshines every other actor when it's on screen. All the nuance and emotion missing (or misplaced) in the other characters shines from the performance of a single hand.

For teenagers who loved those boy wizard movies, or Angsty teen dramas like Riverdale, this is for you. For anyone else, especially hardcore fans of Addams family series or movies, please avoid.
