Wow, that was about 13% of what I was expecting. I certainly didn't expect the lovechild of Anya Taylor-Joy and Seven of Nine to be the next Wednesday.

Eh, it was so-so. Of course, it was beautifully shot, scored and acted - all that was to be expected. I just didn't see why it needed to be 8 episodes. This could've easily just been a two-hour, stand-alone film.

The title teen Addams is transferred to yet another school after, gasp, misbehaving and just think of it as a very, very scaled down Hogwarts. And just like Harry Potter, there are plenty of mysteries to solve before the end of the school year.

While I didn't mind the casting at all, in fact, Catherine Zeta-Jones looked amazing and Jenna Ortega as Wednesday did good for the most part, I just thought they lacked chemistry as a family and I thoroughly didn't like this disjointed version of the Addams Family. Naturally anyone, including me right now, will compare this to the OG 90s duo (excluding the 3rd one.) I not only liked those first two films better than this whole season, but I even liked the 2019 animated movie more as well.

Would I recommend? Eh, maybe. I didn't hate it and I did manage to stay through all 8 episodes with the first and last ones being the best ones. I won't watch any more. I prefer just to stick with the 90s classics.

Final Thoughts: Yeah, yeah, I'm beating myself up that it took me over an hour to figure out that side character is Christina Ricci.
