Nate Richardson on Wednesday

9/10 · Jan 10, 2023

The storyline centers around the conflict between ordinary people and children who are cryptids—creatures from folklore—and Wednesday, portrayed by Jenna Ortega, falls into the latter category. As events unfold, it’s revealed that this power struggle has existed for generations, essentially becoming a tradition within the community. Viewers can interpret things as they wish; what's most important is whether or not the show succeeds. Considering the children are literally werewolves, sirens, and medusas, if you feel the dynamic exists solely to make you feel vulnerable, my grandfather would advise you to develop a thicker skin. It’s just a TV series—are you really that sensitive? Because these kids are essentially outcasts from society, their difficulties in fitting in contribute meaningfully to the narrative. I think people expected something different from Wednesday because she isn't a cryptid herself; her entire family has always been considered unusual and set apart, much like the other students. I particularly enjoyed the relationship between Jenna Ortega’s character and Thing, the non-speaking member of the Adams family (played by Victor Dorobantu). The actor wears a green suit except for his hand and physically maneuvers through each scene, creating a far more believable depiction of a human hand than CGI ever could. I also appreciate the interplay between Wednesday and her werewolf roommate, Enid, portrayed with enthusiasm by Emma Myers. There are several very likable supporting characters who balance out the gloominess from the main character, making it even more enjoyable to watch. For those longing for the eccentric family dynamic, the show provides plenty of nods to longtime fans—though not overly obvious all the time. You’ll see the signature finger snaps, Christina Ricci makes an appearance, and the Adams Family feels quite true to its original inspiration. The mystery at the heart of the plot should be captivating enough (it's not on par with Knives Out or Glass Onion), but when you combine that with the strength of the characters, it results in a truly excellent TV show worth watching again; which is one of the highest compliments I can give to any series. Highly recommended!
