Woe Thyself

Best episode of the whole series, with the tone this series has set I do not know if they will ever be able to top this. Good pacing, amazing ending quirky, cringe but overall enjoyable. They really showed that they have 2 amazing actresses at their disposal and Agnes was also UPGRADED AND had massive character development. She was finally likeable.

It's a very good episode with lots of great moments including some twists and turns that resembles a sequel launched this year - No spoilers.

It somehow gave me a nostalgic feeling, reminding me of the classic Adam's Family movies with Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston, but with a much more darker tone.

Let's start at the end. Emma Myers and Jenna Ortega are incredible. Anyone who watches this, is going to see that plainly. They've both entered into the realm of Christina Ricci's smile from "Family Values". I spent the entire time in disbelief over just how incredible it was to watch this episode!

Let's talk about the season up to this point. It's been fantastic! The number of setups and payoffs feels as if the story tellers know how to write for streaming services. The twists feel earned but also pulling a thin line between threaded intent and gotcha for the sake of it. Either way, the team is bringing their best this season.

Let's talk about how the rest of the family is finding space in this season. In the last, we pretty much received all of Wednesday. They were wise to give us a dark hero we honestly love. The satire stretches back into its roots in this season, and the likes of Guizman and Jones really give this series engaging adult figures.

Let's return to Ortega and Myers. What they do in this episode is incredible. I was bouncing in my seat. They took each other to a level of acting I never expected but my heart earnestly yearned to experience.

Let's talk about the dialog. It is both humbling and elevating. The lessons they learned from this episode, how they both articulate it as characters, is so pitch perfect my head hurts (in a good way).

Thank you for this show and this episode. This series is quickly becoming my favorite. Thank you for working so hard at elevating it to a masterpiece.

This episode is an absolute master-class in acting and should be taught in film schools. The fact that Ortega and Myers are above to not only convincingly, but flawlessly pull off their opposite character personas and yet still have the Wednesday and Enid radiate out from a completely different body speaks volumes to how skilled they truly are.

From Myers's millimetre eyebrow twitching as Wednesday is consumed with rage, to Ortega's insanity as Enid uncontrollably prances throughout Nevermore, I would have never envisioned this before this episode. Putting the ending as an establishing shot was genius, as I went from "This is absolutely ridiculous" to "This is terrible" to "This is a joke" to "This is hilarious" to "This is the best episode of the season" all within an hour. Evie Templeton was absolutely amazing in this episode as well. And yet, the episode was overlaid with darker undertones of Tyler's sub-plot. Is rehabilitation of a Hyde possible? Would Tyler want to be fully human again?

Easily the best episode of the whole series. Yes.

It has its downsides of course but we can truly see the heart of the show interacting and watching their development in a fun way. Emma Myers and Jenna Ortega blew this completely out the water, outstanding performances from both of them. The show thrives when these two get to act around each other, easily the best chemistry here.
