Woe Thyself

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.

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.

This episode is an absolute master-class in acting and should be taught in film schools. The fact that Ortega and Myers are above to not only convincingly, but flawlessly pull off their opposite character personas and yet still have the Wednesday and Enid radiate out from a completely different body speaks volumes to how skilled they truly are.

From Myers's millimetre eyebrow twitching as Wednesday is consumed with rage, to Ortega's insanity as Enid uncontrollably prances throughout Nevermore, I would have never envisioned this before this episode. Putting the ending as an establishing shot was genius, as I went from "This is absolutely ridiculous" to "This is terrible" to "This is a joke" to "This is hilarious" to "This is the best episode of the season" all within an hour. Evie Templeton was absolutely amazing in this episode as well. And yet, the episode was overlaid with darker undertones of Tyler's sub-plot. Is rehabilitation of a Hyde possible? Would Tyler want to be fully human again?

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.

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.
