If you want to watch this show solely, because you are an Addams family fan, don't! The eerie, tingling, dark, gothic and death embracing atmosphere is not present here.

Neither is the very soul of previous series/movies and the authenticity of their characters. Tim Burton (with NETFLIX) has simply borrowed this cult while completely raping, defiling and butchering the very essence of its characters (especially Wednesday since she is the main one).

If you however like Riverdale and/or harry potter and Hogwarts, this show might be an enjoyable experience for you. That is actually the only reason why I was able to finish this show. You can think of it as a sort of mixture of these two shows.

The characters are unfortunately extremely off. So don't expect that empty, unemotional, deadlike Wednesday. Our new Wednesday is constantly rude, arrogant, cringey, mean and extremely pretentious.

She is in fact trying to be Wednesday so much(with all that pretentious and forced wannabe goth quotes), that she has missed it and become something very distant from her. Instead of being empty like a walking dead corpse she is strongly angst-driven and always angry.

Her self-assurance combined with arrogance and an "I know everything and I know it much better than you" passive-aggressive kind of vibe, she can get on my nerves quite easily.

Prepare yourself for over the top pseudo goth quotes coming in each episode such as "I don't bury hatchets, I sharpen them" in every other dialogue. This makes this show nearly unwatchable and I cannot believe that she is indeed, the way she is trying to present herself.

The real Wednesday would not have to prove herself what she is, or hide her insecurities behind false superiority of her ego, audacity and meanness.

The real Wednesday has neither emotions nor vulnerabilities/insecurities but real confidence.

When she smiles, it's an empty gesture without a real emotion behind it. The new Wednesday is just a regular goth teenager with emotions and ALL the "typical teenager stuff" (I won't elaborate further so that I won't spoil too much).

Wednesday is constantly trying to prove herself that she is soooo different and soooo strong. One independent girlboss who is so smart and superior, that the others are just a burden dragging her down.

Here we are arriving at perhaps the biggest "butchery" of the show's director/Netflix. The new Wednesday is portrayed as an ultimate object of desire as opposed to the object of repulsion and disgrace of society. This is precisely what made the Addams family so funny and interesting to watch.

They were rejected because of their peculiarity and were frowned upon with fear and a certain protective distance. That is however different in this show. The new Wednesday is the object of desire of everyone, admired, attractive and accepted from the first moment.

They have created a certain safe space of weirdos, making humor very sterile and hyper politically correct.

No further repulsion from society is possible in this setting (or even beyond their safe space).

This is however what made previous movies so funny, the interaction between normal people and these weird sadistic monsters. And the significant distance between these two parties.

Apart from that, severe plot holes are omnipresent and the plot is two-dimensional at best. Many things are unfortunately poorly thought through, reminding me of cartoons in my childhood for their predictability and imperfections. The makeup artist has not even bothered to make Wednesday look like a dead corpse after a couple of episodes, leaving her tanned skin to look natural. Neither they did bother with shaving Uncle Fester's eyebrow to give him his typical look. The same goes for Wednesday, not to mention that they have picked a rather cute, eye-pleasing Latina (Jenna Ortega) instead of some half-dead-looking monster. Her parents are unconvincing and as off as her in all aspects. The most convincing characters are probably Thing and Uncle Fester.

This show is no more than just another soulless serial in the profit-driven machinery of Netflix abusing a well-known name of previous shows and movies, for a quick boost in easily earned fame.

The only thing that is done properly here, is the environment and the camera. For this, I cannot rate Wednesday with anything above 6/10 at best.

I did not expect much but you somehow made me feel disappointed.
