You'll like this if you liked "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina", "Riverdale", and other cookie-cutter CW supernatural teen dramas. I'm not personally a fan of those shows, but I have seen them and can confirm that the plot of Wednesday is simply a reorganized retelling of plot-lines from those shows.

Although I didn't like the show, I know not everything is meant to appeal to everyone and so I'd rather give a mostly optimistic review for my negative experience. Some of the few ways this show exceeds those other teen dramas, is the show knowing it's simplicity, the devotion to the autumn aesthetic, some songs that are overplayed in mainstream movies but they're still good songs, and giving us a slightly different protagonist even if it's a very basic Gothic "weird girl" type. I can't make this review without talking about the writing, and I simply can't sugar-coat how awful the writing is. It felt like the writers intentionally inserted cliche phrases, barely researched concepts, and googled "uncommon words" to over-complicate very basic terms which just stood out. They put all of that into the script like a madlibs game, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and excuse it as a maybe rushed project. With how horrible the writing was, I'd like to focus the attention on how Jenna carries the bad dialogue and softens the blow making it seem not so bad with some of her delivery. She does her best to make up for the incompetent writers who did a horrible job, but she in her role, couldn't fix their short-comings. The bad writing is more apparent in the side characters who truly feel like extras due to how little character they have. Even the love interest has the personality of a plank of wood so when the forced relationship happens, the protagonist just increasingly looks dumb. There's so much more I can rant about, but I feel like I got my main conspicuous complaints off my chest.
