Review of Wednesday

Wednesday (2022– )
2/10
I want to be very honest.
7 December 2022
I know I'm seemingly a minority in my opinion of the show but I thought nothing about the plot itself made much if any logical sense.. Wednesday's personality wasn't particularly solid. I don't understand why she would care about most things she suddenly cared about.. because it went against her actual morals.

Although the scenes were pretty nice to look at most of the time, there was no uniqueness, intrigue or excitement in the story itself..

I personally didn't like any of the characters much which is not the actors fault. Jenna did a great job, as did a few others. It was mostly because of the terrible writing. But also wrong casting. I didn't think any of the other actors of the Addams family fit the characters. But maybe they would have done a better job if the material and directing was actually good. I'll never know though. I just thought it felt like they were play-acting.. not like they actually inhabited the roles.

I didn't like how all the male characters were basically portrayed the same. None of them were particularly interesting personality wise.

The value of the production made me feel like I was watching Riverdale with a dash of Legacies.. I gave the whole season a fair shot. Although I liked a few scenes.. I was extremely bored and had a rough time getting through the whole thing.

Not sure why some people are surprised that something bad has Tim Burtons name on it since he hasn't produced things of quality in a very long time. I say this as someone who used to be a big fan of his work.

I really wanted to like this show, but sadly I do not.

I know this review is pretty harsh. I was channeling my inner Wednesday Xx.
