Mandaris

The first one was unexpected. There was a level of novelty mixed with the nostalgia for the Addams Family.

This one feels like the studio said the first one did great, just do it again but bigger!

The most telling thing about this was that when the family got together to watch it, everyone had their second screen for most of episode 3 and the first half of 4.

I feel that I grew tired of the characters. I grew tired of having two groups of people (normies and outcasts) hate each other because they’re different. Conflicts that could be avoided by taking 10 minutes to listen to each other. I grew tired of people thinking they know everything and they are the only ones who can do anything. Probably the most realistic thing about the show.

The most glaring thing about the show was pointed out by my daughter when I asked her about it. I’m paraphrasing it below.

The problem is that this isn’t the Addams Family. The appeal of the Addams was that they were different. The outside world didn’t always understand or like them, but they had each other’s back.

Now, I know Wednesday means well, but having almost every interaction be antagonistic gets old.

Overview

Wednesday goes back to Nevermore, and -just like the boy who lived- she's got a mystery to solve! She'll use anything to solve this one: Fans, Friends, and Family; because ONLY SHE can stop a troubling vision of causing destruction.

Oh, and apparently, no matter where you send your children the teaching staff will be questionable.

At this point, I’m watching it because my family is watching it and I’m enjoying the cameos.
