Wednesday is a darker-than-usual take on the Addams Family that never loses sight of its heart, humor, and horror. Our review:
The creepy and kooky Addams Family, arguably the First Family of spooky season, have had a perpetual presence in popular culture over the decades. After getting their start in Charles Addams' New Yorker comics in the '30s, and debuting onscreen in the 1964 television series The Addams Family, they make their return to the small screen this November with Netflix's supernatural teen drama Wednesday.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Wednesday's arrival at Nevermore is anything but easy. She is placed in her mother's old dorm alongside Enid , a late-blooming werewolf who loves bright colors as much as Wednesday loves various shades of black and gray. Though their different personalities lead to friction at first, in the manner of all good coming-of-age stories, the two start to realize they might be stronger together than they are apart.
As far as new characters, the series also stars Gwendoline Christie as Nevermore headmistress Principal Weems and Riki Lindhome as Wednesday's court-mandated therapist Dr. Kinbott. They, alongside Wednesday's Nevermore classmates Bianca , Xavier , and Ajax , as well as Hunter Doohan as the sheriff's "normie" son Tyler, really round things out and make the show a cross between a supernatural mystery series and a high school drama.
Previous incarnations of The Addams Family have always focused on the family as a whole, either dealing with their own interpersonal drama or more frequently casting them in a sort of "us versus them" situation, "them" being conventional society. That conflict is still very present in Wednesday, with the teenagers of Nevermore Academy looked at with skepticism and fear by the town of Jericho.
