{5\/5} “‘Please excuse Wednesday, she’s allergic to colour.’ ‘What happens to you?’ ‘I break out into hives and then the flesh peels off my bones.'” — Morticia, Enid & Wednesday<\/p>\n
Wednesday<\/strong> season 1, aired in 2022<\/p>\n Gomez and Morticia Addams send their daughter Wednesday to a new boarding school, Nevermore, because she was expelled from the last one. This is a school for outcasts, and they’re hoping Wednesday will fit right in. Wednesday’s roommate is very friendly, and she catches the attention of 1 or 2 boys. Meanwhile, she tries to unravel a mystery — there have been 3 grisly deaths in a nearby forest.<\/p>\n I like the character of Enid, Wednesday’s roommate, who at first glance is the complete opposite of Wednesday but she befriends her anyway.<\/p>\n It’s hilarious, and upholds the spirit of The Addams Family<\/strong> in a way that’s similar to the 1st 2 movies.<\/p>\n One could argue that they went a bit overboard on the mystery storyline — but I love the tone, characters, and theme of friendship.<\/p>\n The delightful music theme is by Danny Elfman, and he and Chris Bacon contribute the music for the episodes.<\/p>\n Jenna Ortega is glorious as Wednesday. Having Christina Ricci play a regular character is also very special.<\/p>\n Guest stars include Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzm\u00e1n as Morticia and Gomez. Their every gesture is perfection.<\/p>\n Stars Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, and Emma Myers.<\/p>\n Four episodes were directed by Tim Burton (Big Fish<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n
