It's hard to get into a story where the main character will decry dependence on technology *while* repairing an espresso machine (technology) because she needs the caffeine. There are several hypocritical one-liners like this.
What makes the Addams family so morbidly comedic, to me, has been the twisted one-liners that show their fondness for torture, death, playful cruelty, and the like, making them outcasts from society but on the same page with each other. This show allows the schisms to divide the family too, and the darker one-liners always feel out of place, like they were written by another team and then later inserted into the script.
I've watched 3-4 episodes now and will probably finish the series, but what can I say? I miss what the Addams family used to be.
