Woe Thyself

It's like they took all the good from season 1 and decided to cater to 16 year olds whose brains are so rotted they can only understand tik tok and chat gpt instead of the demographic that made this show popular and was the original target audience. Lack of actual character development/growth for both Wednesday and Enid. It seems as if Wednesday and Enid regressed. Wednesday was arrogant in season 1 but they gave her a basis for it and it was useful where in season 2 she's just annoying and messy. Enid was superficial in season 1 but she wasn't so boy crazy and it showed that she had a life outside of being Wednesday's sidekick that whines a bunch. Also the crazy amounts of gore is such a cheap shock factor move that it adds NOTHING to the plot. If anything it weakens it. I struggled to get through part 1 but it was manageable (barely). This second half is much worse. If an actual human has been writing these episodes for season 2 please seek another profession or write for Disney channel or Nickelodeon the writing is on par for those networks. And whoever's left or newly hired rewatch season 1 and compare it to season 2 and see where you all went EXTREMELY WRONG and fix it before season 3 or cancel the show. Also LIMIT the amount of storylines. The zillion different sub storylines are overdoing it for only 8 episodes. And all the new characters are apart of this too.

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.

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.

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.

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.
