Without Jenny Ortegas performance as Wednesday, there would be little to recommend other then a semi interesting central mystery. The rest of the show is insufferable characters like Wednesdays roommate, Xavier, and Tyler. Watching Tyler act makes my eyes and ears bleed.

When the central mystery is not the main focus, we have to suffer through the typical YA teen agnst drama. The target audience for this show will soak it up. If you ever thought Riverdale was a good show you will be right at home here. Hence the 8.5 on imdb.

Wednesday might as well be another CW show, rotten tomatoes said it the best. If CW type drama, writing, characters is your thing you will love Wendesday. To each their own. I prefer a little bit more substance in my television shows.
