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.

This was PERFECT. Wednesday's character grows a lot from the first to the last episode. The mystery is really well-constructed, full of unexpected twists and revelations. This series keeps you glued to the screen from beginning to end. Also, the finale had an epic and satisfying conclusion. A must-watch, the BEST series on Netflix, and the dark atmosphere is just amazing.

Jenna Ortega awakened the detective in me. I loved the acting and the story which captured not your typical school stories. I liked how it was different from other Adam's family shows. it actually gave us day to day focus on Wednesday's bond with other people and hate for color. i enjoyed the awkward romance here and there that were involved.

A murder mystery at Wednesday's new boarding school as she looks to find the Hyde. This is a good dark comedy with many twists.
