Woe Thyself

OMG This is the biggest historical surprise in addam family series since it started 100 yrs ago Wednesday turned colour Enid turned black and white Best episode of the series Seeing Wednesday like jolly turned teen is a high voltage surprise Enid and Wednesday must have waiting for this switch atleast Lol Good work though both of u.

Season 2 started slowly, and the third and fourth episodes were downright lackluster. This episode is where the season finally finds its footing, delivering the right mix of humor, intrigue, inventiveness and heart. It sets things on the right track for a satisfying final two episodes that redeem the season. The performance of Jenna Ortega in this episode is particularly praiseworthy, displaying wit and charisma while playing against type.

What happens to Wednesday and Enid during this episode is a gimmick seen in many movies and TV shows. As always with this premise, it is as good as the actors portraying the characters. Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers are both excellent, taking this great opportunity to vary their usual performance styles.

For me the concept works better in a TV show. We have had one and a half seasons of character consistency, so this makes the change more effective than it would be in a movie with a half-hour establishment.

Although the story remains engaging the above aspect dominates the episode. The focus is on these characters and their relationship, but also the machinations of the antagonistic characters, before plots converge. Arguably it goes on a bit too long and certain characters become less interesting than they were a few episodes ago. However, there is plenty of all round spectacle and entertainment to enjoy.

For me it's a 7.5/10, but I round up.

Oh my God, that was hands down the best episode ever! Emma Myers and Jenna Ortega completely stole the show - their acting was absolutely phenomenal, proving once again what incredibly talented actresses they are. The chemistry between them was just off the charts, every scene felt so natural and powerful that it kept me hooked from start to finish. And then we had Lady Gaga, looking absolutely stunning and elevating everything even more. This episode truly had it all: amazing performances, emotional depth, and unforgettable moments. Honestly, we need more episodes like this, because it was perfection from beginning to end!

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.
