Truly I wondered what this would have in store when I first heard about it. The first glaring problem I saw was the fact that it didn't even seem like an Adams Family edition. It did seem quite contrived for what it was. Almost all Netflix shows I've ever watched are beautifully shot, well casted, and has decent action. The only thing that they lack in is the writing department. This is no exception to that.
It truly just seemed like another Netflix teen drama that is an unnecessary dissection into Wednesday Adams only to repaint a feminist icon into the new geist of what is today. A twist to add in all of your political criteria while bringing in the ethos of what many younger women feel they are today; intelligent, self-sufficient, witty, sarcastic, and with a little bit of angst and cynicism. I know this is how the character is in a nutshell more or less, but this rendition seems more Gen-Z and contrived compared to the nuance I think the character should have.
If it was done in a film or mini-series format it might have sat better with me, but them turning it into a Tv show is where the unnecessary dissection really comes into the foreground. I'd give it a 5 for me but maybe for people who are actually less like real personality of Wednesday Adams, you might enjoy the watch.
