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.

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.

Easily the best episode of the entire show (thus far, anyway). Burton and his team have taken a well-worn plot device - one which has been used many, many times in various movies and TV shows (one quite recently) - and given us the best version of it you will ever see. Until now, the best take on this concept, imho, was a well-known episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Well, "Woe Thyself" now takes the cake. In fact, this plot device should now be permanently put to bed, because it will never be done better than it is here.

As well-done as this episode is by all involved, the lion's share of the greatness of it goes to the AMAZING performances of Jenna and Emma. "Wednesday" fans - like me - basically worship the ground these two walk on and love the everything they do. Well, even their biggest fans - which are legion - will be blown away by their work here. It is literally impossible to overstate the greatness of their performances. If Jenna and Emma aren't both nominated for acting Emmys for this episode, it will basically be a crime against humanity.

I envy all "Wednesday" fans who haven't seen it yet and will experience this episode for the first time. When The Event happens - you'll know it when it does, believe me - "Wednesday" fans everywhere will be bouncing up and down on their couches, clapping their hands and cackling with delight. I would love to have been a fly on the wall when Jenna and Emma were given the script for this episode. They were both clearly having an absolute blast.

One more quick note - like many "Wednesday" fans, I have been a little bored with the Slurp story-line. Well, not anymore. Slurp's relevance to the story is revealed and, in true "Wednesday" fashion, it's delightfully weird and creepy.

To anyone who has not watched it yet, stop reading any reviews or articles about it. Stay off any Reddit or Twitter threads about it. Turn off your phone (gasp!), click on your Netflix account, and prepare to be amazed.

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!

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.
