Jenna Ortega is wonderful as Wednesday. The rest of the cast is great too for the most part. The sets are visually very appealing. And yet, with all that, the series is a disappointment with the lacklustre writing.

The first few episodes showed some potential, and the underlying murder mystery plot seems like a good premise at first. However, as the season progresses, each episode is more disappointing than the previous, culminating with a season finale that is not only anti-climactic, but leaves you wondering what the writers and directors were thinking.

So much potential wasted. Fred Armisen plays... Fred Armisen. The dialogue turns into something out of Riverdale. The unique appeal of the Addams family as a critique of society by turning social norms inside out is replaced with a Harry Potter clone.

Watch only if you enjoy being disappointed like your parents were with you.
