I had a hard time with this show, though ultimately I did enjoy it and am looking forward to season 2.

Wednesday Addams is great, and treated well as a character, but the rest of the family feels veeeery lacking, either in development in the script or in the actor's portrayal. Morticia is difficult to describe, it's like they wanted to combine the previous versions of the character even though they were so different. Gomez feels weak and kind of sad. Fester was totally miscast and has no bite to him whatsoever (which he should, despite actually being quite nice). They also added stitches to Thing...like a sentient dismembered hand isn't dark enough already, but whatever.

Obviously Wednesday is the focal point and I'm glad that they did so well with her, but my hopes are high that the rest of the family will get better in season 2.

As for the plot, it was a bit of a meal to get through. Not to mention that nobody in the writers room was ever told that "Goody" = "Mrs" and is not an actual name.
