Hyde and Woe Seek

A not so fairly successful fifth episode overall, even if ok both visually and in terms of its pacing. The plot itself isn't very compelling, to be honest, and its treatment singularly lacks the humor associated with the traditional Addams Family universe. And Jenna Ortega is still as undimensional in her performance. What was enjoyable in the very first episode becomes increasingly tiresome in the fifth... The episode scatters into digressions even less interesting than the main plot. After three very disappointing first episodes (especially the third), the fourth and final one before the broadcast hiatus marked a major improvement and finally promised something exciting for the future. Alas, that's not the case at all here.

This series is becoming more and more like a children's series.

Wednesday Addams is back and she returns to school at Nevermore Academy. And this time with her little brother Pugsley and her parents too. But this school year starts off with a dark turn, a murder, a zombie, killer crows, and a psychic predicted death of a friend. All these things are tied to Nevermore's dark past and Wednesday is determined to reveal these secrets.

The first season was an absolutely spectacular modern twist on the classic Addams Family. Every episode leaving me wanting more. Wednesday season 2 is not so much, well so far. But still well worth the watch just for the amazing cast alone. It is absolutely amazing watching these actors bring to life these iconic characters. But the story simply is lacking any type of suspense, mystery, and cleverness of the first season. I hope the last 4 episodes are better.

Very poorly done. What happened ? It was going so well and suddenly lost any sense. Either writers screwed up, or director , all both. Actors tried there best , but the plot and dynamics became atrocious. Too many new characters , too many plot twists , they tried to mimic Lary David and Seinfeld culmination, but it's a different genre.
