    Brilliant show !!

    Finally something decent to watch. I had hoped this show would be worth watching and I was pleasantly surprised. Not only is it worth watching, it's actually good.

    The acting is solid. Jenna Ortega is excellent as Wednesday and the rest of the cast, with only a couple of exceptions, are good too. The writing is well above average compared to almost every show and movie from the past decade. There's actual character development. And of course the directing is great. Even the woke elements are speckled in naturally instead of being shoved down your throat. Also, it's an actual mystery story instead of a story filled will mystery boxes. I didn't know there were any decent writers left in the entertainment industry.

    I hope the show will got what it deserve.

    best new series in forever

    Great ending to a a great first season. Gough and Millar not only retake their throne as kings of serial TV (after a hiatus) but seem to have finally mastered the art of creating a ending that actually leaves viewers with a smile. Ortega's career has moved as far from the movie "X" as the Earth is from the Sun, and she ties Kristin Kreuk for most photogenic visage in the history of TV. Unlike the majority of successful first seasons, the talent behind the camera guarantees that s02 will also be a crowd-pleaser. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer." Please check out my list "167+ Nearly-Perfect Movies (with the occasional Anime or TV miniseries) you can/should see again and again (1932 to the present))

    Amazing finale and wrapped things up well

    The show finale was action packed and was the most intense episode in the whole show they do a good job to keep you guessing until the bad guys are finally revealed. The only thing I wasn't fond of was the way the conflict was introduced for the next season and thing they could've made the hint for the stalker a bit better but the episode was amazing it wrapped everything up and contained a lot of well written scenes and the corny jokes were less on this. Overall the show was amazing and I am excited for a new season and would like to see everyone reprise their roles. Amazing show that u should watch now and can't wait for the new season.

    Withstood pressure.

    Although this certainly wasn't perfect, I find it's frustratingly common for season finales to crumble under the weight of their own hubris these days, so despite the series' imperfections, it's refreshing to see the creators of "Wednesday" were wise enough to never bite off more than they could chew here (in regards to their storytelling) in a single season. Thus, considering the vast majority of plot threads are neatly (& satisfyingly) tied up in an impressively constructed bow, it feels like a really rewarding installment to end on, lightly sewing the seeds for a potential second season whilst not relying too heavily on the existence of one to validate the first's conclusion; most questions are answered, character's emotional arcs reach a decent denouement & the majority of remaining ambiguities are addressed - yet enough potential remains unearthed to justify further additions (providing expansion), should Netflix wish to capitalise on this show's apparent successes.

    Plus, the extremely high production values seriously do show throughout, with the sheer quality of the craftsmanship arguably paying off especially in "A Murder of Woes" than in any previous outing, boasting a plethora of skilfully realised set-pieces (housed within production designer Mark Scruton's masterfully inspired interiors) which are inventively captured by the wonderfully talented cinematographer Stephan Pehrsson & director James Marshall. The team work collectively together in order to retain that distinctively gothic, quirky style Tim Burton established, whilst also bringing their own ideas & individualistic contributions to each & every scene until they enhance them further & it's a joy to witness, truly.

    Therefore, despite the few irks I had, I'm willing to overlook them because in the grand scheme of things, the pros outweigh the cons & it's lovely to see something of such high standard recieve the attention it rightly deserves. Definitely recommend.

    A good finish

    Wednesday confronts the Hyde and finds out the identity of its master.

    This is an entertaining finale with strong spectacle and some crowd-pleasing moments.

    The plot is reasonably good, but there is nothing original nor unexpected in what happens. The strength comes in the character moments, as several individuals make strong contributions to the outcome. The scenes involving Wednesday and Enid are the highlights for me. That is as much as I can say without spoiling.

    There is quite a bit of action spectacle that is pretty well done and thankfully not too dominated by the CGI. The cinematography and art design are excellent as in all episodes.

    For me the outstanding performances come from Jenna Ortega, Emma Myers, and Gwendoline Christie.
