Here We Woe Again

While watching I have the feeling the script and dialogue was written by someone with not much experience. The lines often seem unrealistic. Yes, Wednesday has its own dark style, but at least in previous season this looked real, in this new season it just seems fake and it does not take you away in its world. After watching the first episode, I don't feel curious to see what happened next and this was definitely not the case for season one.

Wow, Tim Burton and Wednesday made a great comeback with this first episode of Season 2. Such great acting, effects and storyline in the opening for this season. I love how the dark vibe, creepy and eerie feels surrounded this episode. It was a perfect way to start the season. Jenna Ortega as Wednesday never fails to amaze me by how her acting is very effective and so dark convincing!

Season 2 starts with a good premise and the some interesting character variation.

The successful formula of Wednesday's humorous interaction with others alongside an unfolding mystery looks to be replicated. This can work if the mystery is good and the characters continue to entertain. So far I am relatively hooked into finding out what will happen. Wednesday's relationship with Enid was one of the strongest aspects of the first season so what happens here is reasonably compelling.

Seeing more of the Addams family is interesting approach considering it is a Wednesday show. I like the inclusion of Pugsley at Nevermore and the additional screen time allotted to Morticia. Hopefully the writers have plenty of good material for these characters.

Steve Buscemi is a worthwhile addition to the cast. His introduction is good and hopefully the material he has is consistent.

Visually it's another Tim Burton feast that mixes gothic beauty with the macabre. The scene with the Scalper and creepy dolls sets the tone perfectly.

Jenna Ortega really fits into the role and knows the character well enough to showcase not only her recognized dark humour and behavior, but the nuances and subtleties of her very nature as well. The first episode has Tim Burton's trademark all over it and builds a compelling mystery along with greatly entertaining sequences and a very dynamic pace.

This episode is an interesting and entertaining opening to season two except for a few things like Pugsley, I thought having him as a more permanent cast member would be interesting but something that I just couldn't quite place was off... I don't know if it was his acting or something else but it just stood out to me. Everything else was fine except this.
