And it was good!! I'm pleasantly surprised with Catherine Zeta-Jones, which was the one I feared the most. She actually did a good Morticia. Luis Guzmán NAILED it as Gomez.
Jenna Ortega as Wednesday is the focus of the show and she pulls her weight nicely.
So, the premise of the show is: Wednesday gets expelled from School and is sent to Hogwarts. At Hogwarts she Harry Ron and Hermiones her way through a school murder mystery. Addams purists, this MIGHT NOT BE the show for you. It wasn't the disaster many were expecting. I'm being purposely vague because I don't want to spoil too much. You SHOULD see it before judging. Tim Burton is involved but the show doesn't go TOO Tim Burton that you get distracted by the Tim Burtonness of it.
Is it perfect, no. It has a few moments that can be a bit cringy, but these are very few and don'thappen at the same time... (less than 5).
Some of the effects are really good, others feel like they were made in my offline computer with Windows XP. Before one of my readers asks. No, that PC had zero stuff about Sprite editing. That is a work PC, not a hobby PC. Hence the whole it was 100% offline. It doesn't even have minesweeper or solitaire.
Point is that some effects look good and others do not.
While not perfect, it's better than a CW show. Now. Let's be serious about this and accept that the show can be better than expected.
