So the new Wednesday series is now available to stream on Netflix.

Just saw the first episode and wow, totally in love with Jenna Ortega's Wednesday Addams character. Can't wait to binge the rest of the season tomorrow!

Watched the first episode so far and really digging it.

My only hesitance so far is the presentation of the Mean Girls meets Twilight cliques so hopefully it doesn't fall into the typical teen drama trap

Ortega is excellent though and I've been startled by just how grisly and violent it is

Surprisingly, I've never been a big fan of the Addams Family but the series has me a little intrigued. I might check it out, not sure.

I already binged the whole thing. I liked it, but it has far less macabre humor than I was hoping for and felt a little too Nancy Drew. The best scene was (not really spoilers, already all over the net) Wednesday dancing. She absolutely slayed that scene.

5 episodes in, still no idea who the culprit is.

So far my guess is Marilyn Thornhill, only because we've been given reasons to suspect almost everyone except her.

Finished. Really liked it. Ortega and Emma Myers are fantastic. Rest of the cast is... A mixed bag.

I wonder who Wednesdays stalker is.

I've watched through episode 6.

It's a good show with an interesting cast and mystery. Wasn't expecting vampires, werewolves, etc to just be part of the world though I guess it makes sense.

The actress playing Wednesday does a great job.

Watched the first episode and very impressed at how little Wednesday blinks. Like once the whole hour is great I hope that's a designed choice that carries on.

Pretty solid otherwise too. Christina Ricci Wednesday was like my first crush so I'm pretty much sold on finishing it

About 5 episodes in, and while there's a lot of stuff about the show I really enjoy (primarily the performances, the visuals/lighting, and the mystery) it boggles my mind that they took a character who held as one of her main characterizations that she wasn't interested in teenage romance drama and then made so much of her story about teenage romance drama

like the Rave'N dance/Carrie scene was great but everything building up to it was just whiny dudes competing for her and that's been by far the least compelling aspect of the show so far

Watched the first episode with a friend who had already seen the whole series. Dropped the biggest twist of the series on me from the get go. So that was fun....Still didn't ruin the show for me. I really enjoyed it. Netflix did almost ruin it though with all the teen romance drama they try to infuse into everything.

There was definitely too much relationship drama in the show. That's probably my big disappointment.

First episode beated

I must say I am intrigued. I thought they were building up three possible love interests for Wednesday, but- mild spoilers I guess- one just fucking ate it. Huh. I thought I was going to hate Enid, but both her and Claudia (was that her name?) are kind of cool. And yes Ortega is great as Wednesday.

the first ep was all right. 57 minutes is a LONG pilot, and i appreciate that they got through a lot

if i could change anything, i'd introduce slightly fewer characters and develop them more. too many samey romantic interests, and so far nobody in the cast provides an adequate foil to the protagonist

presumably they'll get into this, but i'd also want them to close the gap between the characterization of "casual murderer wednesday" and "altruistic nancy drew wednesday"

i think this show is mostly for the vibe, and it is succeeding on that front

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

So what age range is this school supposed to be exactly? Most of the people look like the typical Glee 20-somethings playing high school seniors, but then Eugene is like prepubescent.

Is it even an accredited school? I mean, all we see is that weird botany class. I get big Hogwarts vibes.

Yeah this is honestly the main part of this that didnt work for me either.

Im not actually sure what her motive is here and kept expecting a twist that she would wind up siding with the murderer.

It felt at many points like it was doing a send up of YA tropes but then fell victim to a lot of them and ended on a VERY YA played straight note that left a sour taste in my mouth.

Overall better than it has any right to be though

Finished this yesterday. It was tons of fun! Lots of twists and turns! Extremely witty and an awesome time.

Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester is absolute GOAT character.

finished the show

some aspects I loved, particularly the lighting/sets/scenery/etc and how great Wednesday, Enid, Weems and Thing all were

some aspects I didn't click with as much, primarily the CW-ish teen romdrama aspects, as well as some smaller things. Wednesday spending the last few episodes constantly making big accusations and being wrong about all of them almost every time took away from the detective mystery buildup a little but the finale was still thrilling

one of the most annoying things with the show that's so tiny I don't know if it would actually bother anyone else, the show constantly does this little thing where something will be happening with the main characters and then it'll just cut over to random nameless background students for reactions, almost like it's trying to tell the audience what reaction they should be experiencing instead of just letting the audience experience it, like literally nobody cares how Bianca's friend group cares about what's playing out, just keep the focus where the focus should be and respect the intelligence of the audience. In particular it felt like it happened a lot in the last two episodes, but this is like really nitpicky

Given that this is set to overcome Stranger Things Season 4 in one month viewership, it's absolutely getting renewed. Which is the struggle of any Netflix show nowadays tbh.
