Woe Is the Loneliest Number

Super disappointed in the Gomez character He's a fat, pudgy toad. Not the sophisticated, upstanding, poised and stoic figure he's supposed to be. Expected so much more from the father figure from the regular show. Love Morticia! She is the most beautiful, poised, elegant woman in the entire show. Wednesday plays the in the role most excellent way. I have watched the Addams family series from when I was a small child and loved every single episode. I guess to pervert the original character to a toad ( Gomez) is disrespectful way to show the real character of someone. I'm sorry to rant, but expected more realistic.

Episode 2 of Wednesday season 1 starts with police officers led by the sheriff looking for Rowan's body in the woods. Unfortunately, they are not able to find it. The sheriff does not believe Wednesday's statement about a monster attacking Rowan and thinks that it was a student at Nevermore. The principal is convinced that Rowan ran away and is not happy about the sheriff's accusations. After taking Wednesday's statement, the Principal wishes the sheriff would leave but Wednesday asks to speak to him privately. The principal eventually agrees to let them talk privately, on the condition that everything Wednesday says is off the record. Wednesday tells the sheriff that she thinks someone is trying to cover Rowan's death. An officer disrupts their conversation and opens the door, allowing Rowan to step into the room. Behold, he is alive! This occurs much to the shock of everyone, especially Wednesday. During her therapy session, the therapist wants to understand why Wednesday lied about witnessing a murder. Wednesday is sure she saw Rowan being killed by a creature but no one believes her. The therapist tries to get through to Wednesday but she is not willing to open up or lose the battle. After her session, she meets Tyler who is shocked to learn she is legally required to go to therapy. Tyler says she believes what she says she saw in the wood before he receives a message and leaves. Later, Wednesday sneaks into Xavier and Rowan's room to look for the book. She finds a mask and before she can leave Xavier returns to the room. She hides under the bed and he gets a visit from Bianca. She overhears the conversation between them and it seems that Xavier was worried that Rowan was planning to hurt Wednesday. She also overhears Bianca's plans to crush Enid in the upcoming competition. Bianca sabotaged Enid, leaving her without a copilot in the competition. Wednesday decides to help Enid so that she can take Bianca down. The next day, Wednesday and Enid team up for the competition. As there are no rules, it is all fair game and Bianca is using this to her advantage. During the contest though, Wednesday has another vision. This time she sees a version of herself and it tells her she is the key. Wednesday continues on, and they use Bianca's underhand methods against her to win. Wednesday decided to stay to solve the mystery in the school. As a fiction mystery writer, it is clear she couldn't resist the urge to go sleuthing. It also looks like she and Bianca will continue to have bad blood through this season.

This episode was better, partly because we can enjoy the world-building without the biases that arise after seeing the new Addams Family. Additionally, it allows us to get used to Jenna Ortega as the new Wednesday, which isn't too difficult thanks to the many traits she shares with Christina Ricci's Wednesday.

Beyond that, the story becomes more interesting as it moves away from the absurd mother-daughter conflict and focuses more on the vast number of mysteries that come to light within the story itself. Furthermore, they include a competition that, to some extent, is clever and therefore entertaining, although it clearly has its coherence flaws.

Finally, I'd say the best performance in this episode was delivered by Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair), who has developed unique expressions, gestures, and attitudes for her character, giving her a certain realism-a quality not always present in the other characters. Moreover, her role in this episode was even greater than in the previous one.

By the way, this episode also made me notice Tim Burton's signature style a bit more, although it's still far less than what we're usually accustomed to seeing from him.

The second episode of this new Netflix show is a big step up from the pilot. It fits into the story with a lot less trouble and seems to have a little more fun now that the hard work of setting up the world and introducing the characters has been done for the most part.

I can see that the writers tried to make a story in which the audience can feel something, but the story is about how the main character grows up, and she is not "Wednesday Addams," even though she may look like her. I can see that the writers tried to make a story that the audience could feel something about.

As mysteries are unravelled one at a time in this episode's narrative, you will find that your attention is piqued. The storyline of this episode piqued my curiosity quite a bit. Although I now have an explanation, it merely creates more questions. To put it another way, the storyline of this episode is not worse than the one that came before it. When seen at the appropriate time, the gags are intriguing in and of themselves as well.

The visuals are really appealing to the eye. Both the cinematography and the way the colours were changed stood out to me as particular strengths of the show.

Woe woe woe your boat (or canoe) very aggressively and belligerently down the stream (or lake), un-merrily, savagely, combatively, with hostility, nightmares are so much better than dreams (especially if you inflict them on others).

Wednesday's visions plague and swarm, uncertain what they'll reveal or misinform, especially now that Rowan has miraculously reappeared, although it's quite a shallow presentation, with a transformative veneer; the Poe Cup race seeks to add to the distraction, with a Merman tilting scales, through a reflective buoyed refraction, while conundrums are un-riddled making way for exploration, and the darkness doth descend, with very little exclamation.
