The Devil You Woe

Episode 1 felt very all over the place but this one neaten things up a bit and gets a good flow going in terms of the mystery aspect. However it still feels lacking compared to season 1, not sure if this in in the dialogue, acting or character relationships. Like others (I know they had to write Xavier out the show but) I feel it's really missing having a character like him to almost link Wedensday with her peers more.

Overall its still a relatively enjoyable episode none the less and it still has potential to get to the high of S1.

This second episode, while better than the first, still falls short of my personal expectations for this second season.

The plot remains as uninteresting as ever and clearly aimed at a teenage audience. The pace sometimes seems numbed by this lack of substance. The writing and dialogue continue to suffer from a lack of inventiveness. The suspenseful effects feel like they've been seen a thousand times elsewhere.

And Jenna Ortega, beyond her natural physical charisma, aided by Wednesday's gothic look, continues her one-dimensional performance that often leaves me yawning with boredom.

The two good news items are the appearance of Christopher Lloyd, and a new character with potential, Agnes Demille, well portrayed so far by the young Evie Templeton.

All the reviews that are 7 and higher are probably younger people who don't know any better. The writing in this is awful. There's all this stuff going on yet nothing is happening. It's a trudge from one scene to another. Wednesday's dialogue feels forced and unnatural. Season 1 was a lot better. Not sure what is going on. Also, Wednesday went from beloved in Season 1 to fatiguing in Season 2 so far. Ugh, we get it, woe is everything. The humor is a miss. The plot is predictable and there's no real fear of danger. Such as when Enid was in trouble...I wasn't worried. It's just so blah.....

Don't get me wrong. It isn't horrible but no means is it really good. I guess it's really just down the middle.

This is a great episode that continues the mystery with surprising twists. The prank day thing is cool because pretty much every school suffers from one of these so it's nice to see that even Nevermore does. I like how this season is actually expanding more on the rest of the Addams family, rather than just Wednesday. I do feel like the Enid relationship drama is a little cliche though. Other than that this episode is really involving and I hope the rest of this season keeps up the great work.

There is a time jump that confused me. I felt like there was a lot of context and information missing.

A lot of the polt elements that changes the status quo I feel like they could of let those elements breathe and be a half season of its own.

From what I can tell the first episode of season 2 was filmed back with season 1 or was shot at another date.
