I have always been a fan of The Addams Family and therefore was excited when the first season of Wednesday came out. I shared my review of it here. Well, after more years than I thought it would take we finally have a second season. I finished the first part of it a while ago and since the second part comes out tomorrow I thought I would share my review of Wednesday season 2 part 1 today.
Plot
So far, I’m very much enjoying the plot. It started out a little slow if I’m being honest but by the end of the second episode I was pretty invested. I will say that this season revolves around the school and the woods which sometimes makes it a little boring because they don’t visit the town or interact with normies much.
So far, there are some plot discrepancies but I’m assuming they will address those by the end of the season as they usually do with these sort of shows. And some of the things that happen without giving anything away is a little too obvious for my liking. I like unexpected twists and turns so that was a bit disappointing to me. But I have to remind myself I’m probably not the target age range for this show which is why some things feels maybe more obvious or predictable.
Characters
As always I love Wednesday’s character as well as Enid and the chemistry between the two. I love Uncle Fester and think the addition of Agnes DeMille is great. She plays the weird, obsessive type very well. Most of the new characters I really enjoyed actually and was happy to see recurring ones like Christina Ricci.
Now for the biggest problem I have with this season, I feel like we’re seeing too much of the rest of the Addams family i.e Morticia, Gomez and Pugsley. In general, this wouldn’t be a problem for me. However, to begin with, this show is called WEDNESDAY for a reason. Having story lines for other characters takes away from the main plot and leads to boring moments when your attention as the viewer drifts. Plus, I’m just not a fan of the new Moritcia and Gomez. I think both were badly cast and neither pop on screen. When we look back at the original Moriticia and Gomez, they were absolutely iconic. So much chemistry and they had a way of grabbing your attention. I find both Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán so dull in comparison, they don’t stand out at all.
Last season, I had the same issue but they didn’t have too much screen time so it didn’t bother me. They have much more screen time in this season and it makes me cringe to watch them. Especially because I was a huge fan of the OG Morticia and Gomez.
Overall
This isn’t the greatest season of the show but it’s also interesting enough that I will watch the second part too. Overall, I am very much enjoying Wednesday Season 2 regardless of a couple of things I’m not the biggest fan of.
