I was so stoked that Tim Burton would finally be directing a "TV" series and especially one based on the Addams Family's Wednesday, as I'm a HUGE fan of all of the above.

Having the legendary director, a cast I like and the fact that this would be a Netflix original, (so as not to be limited in what they could do with this show,) it seemed the sky was the limit...

Three episodes in and I am pretty disappointed. The writing is bland and the dialogue very rudimentary. I'm was expecting an intriguing plot with laughs, clever dialogue and even some frightening scenes and characters to boot. Alas, I have yet to see any of this unfold.

I read a user review and thought this could be something dark, funny and twisted like the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.... Instead, it has been more like the later, crappier seasons of a CW show, ala Riverdale, (which isn't my cup of tea.)

I'm just bored with it so far and have little interest in starting the next episode when one ends.

I will eventually pick it back up, because I love the Addams Family and Tim Burton. I'm really hoping that is gets better, because there is so much that can be done with the source material.

I will say, the music by Danny Elfman is AMAZING!!!!!! The costumes are great and the sets are just fine. It's the WRITING and weak dialogue between the characters that have been a huge let down to me.

Please, Please get creepy, kooky and spooky and just a little funny.
