#Wednesday (the Netflix series, not the day), quick review:
Cast 10, book 3.
I haven't finished the whole series yet (and I intend to), but as far as I've gotten: I rarely see such talented actors and actresses animating such a shambling carcass (which, I suppose, is very on-brand for an Addams property). Ortega and Myers are fun as hell, their characters really contrast delightfully, and every moment they're on screen is wonderful---as with the rest of the cast as well.
It's just a shame they're stuck in this tropey Hogwarts-adjacent CW high school drama. It's like someone pitched a live-action Monster High series, got shot down, and salvaged the pitch by gluing Wednesday Addams upside-down to an existing plot. I know; that sounds like it should be perfect! It is not.
If you can turn your brain off and enjoy every scene without asking inconvenient questions like "Where is this going?" or "Why are these characters doing this?" I can recommend it. And it still has time to pick up on the back end. But I'm not sure I should get my hopes up.
@mtomczak I rmeember when I was fourteen (?) my home town got commercial TV for the first time.
Up until then TV meant Doctor Who and a wide variety of sitcoms starring Penelope Kieth that I was massively uninterested in.
After a while I got a heads up from my parents that The Addams Family was going to be airing and it'd be right up my alley and wow, they were right.
Which is to say that I'm grateful to you and so many others who have watched _Wednesday_ and reported back so I don't have to.
