Wednesday Mary Sue Addams, I counted at least 10 things she's perfect at. If not for the woke ideology being pushed, this could be a very good tv series. Steer clear.

Wednesday's plot focuses on it's surface between the balance of power between normal everyday people (Like you and I), and (I don't know a better way to put it) cryptid kids; Wednesday (played by Jenna Ortega) is part of the latter (obviously). As the plot thickens, we find out that power struggle between the groups has been ingrained in everyone for generations. You may even say it's been institutionalized since the community's inception. People can read into this however they want; what really matters is if it works or not. Given that the kids are literally werewolves, sirens, medusas and other cryptid creatures of lore, it is my opinion if you feel this dynamic is only in place to make you feel fragile, than you need to (in the words of my grandfather) 'get a tougher skin'. Honestly, it's a TV show, are you that wounded? As these kids are in fact literally and physically ou…

One of those hard to endure type fantasy shows. Unnecessary and often predictably silly dialogues, bizarre character relations and motivations, shallow plot. On the bright side the show does get bearable with time plus some great cello music selection.

The show takes viewers on a journey into the mind of Wednesday Addams, exploring her eerie and supernatural world as she grows into her own. The writing is sharp and witty, with a cast of endearing and frightening characters that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The special effects and production design are top-notch, fully immersing viewers into Wednesday's spooky and fantastical world. Overall, I highly recommend Wednesday for fans of the macabre and those looking for a fresh and exciting take on the Addams Family franchise. Don't miss out on this standout series stunning Gleaming Aura!"

Watchable with some good messages and some good lines although the grumpy teenager became a bit tiresome. I felt it was rather a missed opportunity given the large source material available. Or maybe there wasn't enough to Wednesday's character to extend beyond being gloomy for 8 episodes. A good level of humanity given most characters aren't human.

## **Wednesday (2022) Review: From Promising Start to Perfect Pitch in a Glorious Season 2** Rarely does a television series not only meet its immense potential but dramatically surpass it, evolving from a hit into a flat-out masterpiece. Such is the arc of *Wednesday*. While its first season was a clever, enjoyable 8/10 introduction to the Addams Family heiress, **Season 2 has elevated the show to a flawless 10/10**, solidifying its place as a modern gothic classic by fully embracing the macabre, whimsical, and deeply personal vision of its creative guides. ### Season 1: A Solid Foundation The debut season was a success for good reason. It established a compelling version of Wednesday Addams, masterfully portrayed by Jenna Ortega with a delicious blend of deadpan wit and subtle vulnerability. The setting of Nevermore Academy was fresh, the mystery was engaging, and the balance be…
