Wednesday's Child Is Full of Woe

I am not a fan of vampire or werewolf fictions. So this story is an allien concept for me. I drew parallel from Harry potter, but soon when I got hooked I found very little parallels from the story I was drawing into. It is more like a thriller but with different sub-genre. Since I am a thriller binge watcher perfectly loved the concept.

Wednesday Addams is a girl with unique powers .Fortunately they have schools for the powerholder She is involved in digging her own past when she reaches "NEVERMORE" the outcast school.

The lead character is established , her powers are established and her secondary rivalries are established already. In my opinion we are just waiting for the VILLAIN with grand presence.

Loving it .

I have been looking forward to the launch of the series with bated breath ever since it was first announced. The plot doesn't appear to get off to a particularly good start here, coming off as more of a stereotypically angsty teen drama than a "Addams Family" adaptation, taking itself far too seriously most of the time, and failing to imbue the satirical, tongue-in-cheek humour I was obviously expecting from the franchise. As a result, I'm not overly enthusiastic to report that.

It's not the worst thing ever, but it's also not the best thing ever. However, in general, it does give the impression that it is creatively masquerading as something that it is not, being nowhere near as sharp or self-aware as it has to be in order to compete with previous incarnations that have ingrained themselves in the history of popular culture.

Even Tim Burton's direction doesn't add much because his unique style can't break through Netflix's visual framework, which makes all of their properties look the same.

Aside from that, the pilot was a clear rip-off of Sabrina, and the supporting teenage actors all appeared to be paid to be bored, so I won't be tuning in for episode two.

It's not a problem, as I've said... On the other hand, this degree of apathy is a great deal lower than I had hoped for.

An outcast's been expelled, now her parents are compelled, enrol her in another school, hope she'll follow all the rules, but she's not fully compliant, more devoutly dark defiant, has a plan to make escape, won't be moulded into shape, but the school of Nevermore, has taught this loner type before, and the Principal's familiar, with the crooked and nonlinear, so she's watched, observed and viewed, while she plots, schemes and colludes, though she's started to get visions, that leave some less well provisioned, sets the scene for wanting more, if you like gothic folklore, the creatures conjured and created, may leave you feeling quite elated.

Wednesday Addams is expelled from her school after nearly killing a classmate. This is her eighth expulsion in five years. At wits end, her parents, Morticia and Gomez, send her to Nevermore Academy, Morticia's old school. A school for outcasts, Wednesday should fit in but it appears that even among outcasts she's an outcast.

A fun start to the series. Quite original, especially if you don't know much about the Addams Family, and very well filmed. I was not surprised to discover that the episode is directed by Tim Burton - it has that cinematography and feel to it.

A nice nod to the Addams Family movies of the 90s by having Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday in those movies, in the supporting cast in this series.

So, a great start. My only worry is that it all seems so shiny and new and that the writers rely too much on this novelty, rather than writing good scripts.

After watching this episode, I had no doubt that Wednesday would be a good series. They set up everyone's character perfectly and even got us started on mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode and truly can not wait to watch the rest of this original Netflix series!

It's very fast paced and gothic. The way it's set up is all about Wednesday moving to Nevermore after she is expelled from her other schools. It's apparently a school for outcasts and her parents say she'll fit in. She doesn't, but she makes friends with some other members and is beginning to like it there. It's a real cliffhanger.
