Tim burton was perfect for this. I feel a lot of Edward scissor hands influence in this series. Wednesday makes the show great but it's hard to top Christina Ricci's version of her which is the version this show is based on. Actually it's hard to top all the actors from the 90's Addams family movies. Those movies were absolutely perfect with perfect casting and completely iconic characters that had good chemistry.

This series focuses on Wednesday of course and not the family as a whole so it's unique to see her interact with other characters who she can't exactly terrorize like on the 90s movies. This has a lot of coming of age moments which are interesting. I find it a true homage to Christina Ricci's talent that her version of Wednesday is the one that became the standard. Before the 90s movies Wednesday was just a little girl with a weird family (yes I watched the black and white show growing up). Christina Ricci's version was more gothically rebellious but charming and creepy at the same time. Jenna Ortega Carried that on in her version of Wednesday.

I'm not going to pretend like the Addams family is that big of a thing or that people gawk at who plays the roles. Their popularity kind of faded off In the late 90s and people forgot about them. But Tim Burton resurrected them with this series and Jenna Ortega breathed new life into the Addams Family leaving an enjoyable experience for most that took the time to catch the series.
