Wednesday on Netflix. It's a howler.

[Baitball Blogger]

Just finished the first episode. Love it! Interest keeps growing with scenes of very popular actors. Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzman, Larissa Weems, Brienne of Tarth from GOT, and of course, Christina Ricci!

Great Wednesday dry, witty style dialogue.

Recommend.

1. Totally agree. Don't miss this one!

The actor who plays Wednesday is incredible and I love how she acts with her eyes. Plus I love the very large snark! I'm on episode 5 now and it remains excellent.

22. Jenna Ortega is amazing.

A perfect performance that should win awards.

4. we got through 6 episodes before I had to pack it in

It is great! Probably going to need to watch it again for details that I missed previously

5. I'm guessing now...

This may be referring to the Adams Family?

6. Addams, with two d's.

LOL!

12. Okay....

You say it is on Netflix? If so, I'll go watch this one...

[Baitball Blogger]

13. Yes. Neflix.

I just chuckled because it's a line in the show.

14. Thank you....

I look forward to the series now.

7. Yea I also like it.

8. I didn't realize until part way through, that its a Tim Burton film. I should have known!

Great fun.

17. there's supposedly easter eggs from Burton's movies all over the place...

like the taxidermy shop

9. Thanks for the reminder!

I've been meaning to watch that, but keep forgetting.

10. I enjoyed it, but it was t what I expected

It’s Harry Potter meet Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
It’s fun, but the Addams Family isn’t really the focus.
I did catch some cute callbacks to Large Marge from Pee Wee’s Big Adventure.

11. I binged it and

thoroughly enjoyed it!

15. This was fun and will resonate with anyone who was a high school misfit...

... especially at a "Nancy Reagan High School" as I was.

Who hasn't dreamed of putting piranhas in the swimming pool?

16. re-watching for easter eggs and clues...

I love this wednesday and her sass, style etc. Read an article today it's scored higher on Rotten Tomatoes than the 90's versions. (and while I loved them, agreed)

This one stays closer to the original comics in casting IMO

And the dance scene will be iconic for ages!

[SharonClark]

18. Thanks for the recommendation. If it's directed by Tim Burton then I'm in.

19. We binged it in a few nights & thoroughly enjoyed it.

I have two complaints, though.

The music was so loud it often drowned out the actor's voices. I had to turn on closed caption so I wouldn't miss important dialog.

Also, I don't recall that Uncle Fester was a criminal. My recollection was that he was just quirky & kooky, but in this series, he robbed a bank. ???

I thought it was a nice touch to have Christina Ricci in the cast.

Agree, recommended!

[FirstLight]

20. SO here's a link to the original comic...family descriptions included!

Looks like Fester is pretty much criminally insane lol

funny how wednesday originally was more of a wallflower, pugsley was the one who played with guillotines. I dont care, I still love this version! Netflix better renew it!

21. Thank you for this information!

Watching it for a second time.

We should probably have another thread to point out all the Easter eggs that we spot.
