Critics Consensus

Wednesday isn't exactly full of woe for viewers, but without Jenna Ortega in the lead, this Addams Family-adjacent series might as well be another CW drama.

Misbegotten on almost every front, it mines its name-brand IP for familiar romance and horror, and proves all the more depressing for being the handiwork of the very artist who decades ago pioneered such macabre teen terrain: Tim Burton.

These reboots usually suck (see: Tales of the City) but, to my surprise and delight, Netflix’s new Addams Family spin-off, Wednesday, works a charm.

2.5/4

It works best when it’s simply being funny. The heavy plotting around a mysterious supernatural something or other? Very, very mid, but you need something to propel the story forward enough to stretch it out for eight episodes.

6/10

The show is well-made, and it’s a fun time. The combo of Orega and Myers gives the show heart, but the other corners of Wednesday need to be explored.

Maybe not Netflix’s best original series, as I do think Stranger Things is much better, but this is still a very fun time. Jenna as Wednesday is incredible, really the standout here. Such a fun show!

Ehh, Jenna was alright, but it was kind of unsettling, and I almost fell asleep because of how boring it was.

It’s basically a Monster High rip off, but it’s pretty good.
