There are two things that make this show good: Jenna Ortega's acting and the relationship between Enid and Wednesday.

The mystery isn't too compelling, the parents are meh, sorry but the love interests or whatever you wanna call them were wet blankets. Their acting wasn't bad but there was no substance in the writing of the "love triangle" and no chemistry whatsoever. Why do both boys look and behave alike, i had a hard time telling them apart. Loved the headmistress and Gwendolyn Christie is brilliant. I wouldn't have gone where they went with her though. The effects in the show were pretty neat. And hey, the lesbian moms actually got lines and weren't just gimmicks. May I ask why only the intentionally unlikable characters are portrayed by black actors? Gave it 6 stars since i finished the show.
