Jen Chaney New York Magazine/Vulture 09/11/2018
The Addams Family stands apart from the rest for its beatnik haunted house music; its elegant costuming, makeup and set design; the quality of its ensemble acting. Go to Full Review Beth Mishler-Elmore Screen Rant 09/18/2018
This throwback black and white series is a total hoot-as long as you don't believe it when it calls itself a family show. The show is relatively harmless-but its humor can be pretty dark Go to Full Review Sophy Ziss Nerdist 09/18/2018
They're still goth icons. Go to Full Review Bill Gibron PopMatters 09/11/2018
The Addams Family is nothing short of luminous. It is superbly cast, brilliantly acted, and so rebellious in its tone and tendencies that it makes for a perfect post-millennial treat. Go to Full Review Stephen Kelly PopMatters 09/06/2018
8/10
It's this ability to challenge the perception of normalcy that may be The Addams Family's greatest strength. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 09/06/2018
4/5
The characters are likable and generous, and their behavior, although weird, isn't intended to cause harm. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
