It’s unusual, bizarre, enigmatic, and terrifying, but it’s also a lot of fun. The Tim Burton-directed Addams Family spinoff ‘Wednesday’ focuses on the original character’s haunting daughter and has shattered Stranger Things 4’s record for the most hours viewed in its first week for any English-language show on Netflix. The show has received positive reviews from reviewers and viewers alike, and Jenna Ortega’s followers have been ardently supportive.
A supernatural detective story that follows Wednesday Addams’ time at Nevermore Academy. Wednesday tries to control her developing psychic ability, stop a horrific killing spree that has terrorised the neighbourhood, and solve the supernatural mystery that ensnared her parents 25 years ago while navigating her new and extremely complicated relationships at Nevermore. Catherine Zeta-Jones plays Morticia, Luis Guzmán plays Gomez, Fred Armisen plays Uncle Fester, and emerging sensation Jenna Ortega plays the title character Wednesday Addams.
Nevermore’s newest pupil is the perfect example of a person who is too great for society, and the institution is for outcasts. Monsters, killings, ghosts, and secret societies. When starting the series, be prepared for the unexpected.
