The expected hauntingly macabre humour and the dark mischievous wit is no where to be seen. It's too tamed, too soft, too dull and too blandly predictable to be enjoyable. The show has sucked out every bit of morbid sense and left it with a generic vanilla teen murder mystery show. Emo girl wannabe detective with her unknown powers and her trusted preppy side-kick, trying to solve a + something years old mystery and you guessed it - a Prophecy involving her, dun, dun, duuuun....

Honestly it's like Veronica Mars meets Scooby Doo meets Monster high, set in a dupe Hogwarts. I suppose I should be thankful that they didn't make her an orphan to the boot.

Honestly hard-core Addams fans know that the paranormal and supernatural is something that was supposed to be uniquely Addams. Their whole charm was that they were the oddballs in a normal world. Wednesday being in a society of likes makes it less whimsical and more bland.

To think that I had such high expectations for something that turned out to be nothing but a lackluster G-rated teen fantasy.

This show could have had soo much potential and yet it was squandered away by its too many non-Addams characters. Not even Jenna Ortega, who was doing an admirable job as Wednesday can save this show. Tim Burton has lost his touch.
