The first half of the season captures the "Addams Family" vibe very well: dark humorous, and a little offbeat. The end is transformed into a stereotypical fantasy teen drama mixed with mystery-revelation-bigger mystery "dance" that progressively becomes so fast-paced and over the top that I stop caring who is involved in what and why.

Excellent play in the character of Wednesday though her parents fall a little flat and without much of the so-needed chemistry. The series has outstanding cinematography, nice special effects, soundtrack definitely on-point.

A huge disappointment (feels like a plothole) is how a certain ill-intentioned individual is so determined to fight a "special" group of people without realising he is just as "special" himself as his enemies.

These series definitely feel targeted to younger audiences.
