Addition: Thankfully, I managed to enjoy the last four episodes of the series again. What I find very impressive, as in the first season, are the lovingly designed sets and costumes. Unfortunately, there wasn't much opportunity or time to marvel at and enjoy them. For me, they packed too much into this season. There wasn't enough time to pause and take a breather. The series works better when everyone involved works together and contributes their strengths, and thankfully that's what happened in the end.
The first season was funny, interesting, and new. For me, it was also a symbol of neurodivergent people who have to cope with normality and find their people and their family. Wednesday was solitary, distant, intellectual, but at the end of the day, her heart was in the right place. They created a new Addams Family that many people embraced and liked. The friendship between Enid and Wednesday was genuine and felt organic. All the stories fit together. For me personally, the first four episodes of season 2 felt like a completely new series. Everything seems disjointed. There is no contact between Eugene and Wednesday. A lot happens, but somehow it leaves no impression on me. With Agnes, a second Wednesday has now been introduced unnecessarily. It feels cold, the mood is unfriendly. In season 1, there was no unnecessary violence that didn't fit into the story. It seems to me that season 2 now has a lot of extra violence integrated into it. Many people die as a result of her brother's actions. I would have preferred to do without the brother storyline, as I find nothing interesting about his character. The rehashing of the family history and the resulting mother-daughter conflicts are also told in a way that I find extremely annoying for me. I hope it gets better.
