Wednesday is a show that lives off hype. It did a wonderful job of captivating attention early on and capitalised on people liking Ortega's very dry, and somewhat morbid portrayal of Wednesday.

However, the show relies almost entirely on this hype and Wednesday carries the show. If we break the trend of liking the show just because it's popular, we can see the show is still terribly cliched, with sub-par acting, characters that are underdeveloped, and a lot of lazy writing.

It's a shame, because this rendition of Wednesday has a lot of potential. I can only hope that rather than seeing it as a commercial success and regurgitating more of the same for the inevitable second season, the writers go back and put some more time and effort into the follow up.
