Wednesday is Tim Burton his young-adult take on the Addam's Family story and it shows. Everything about this show feels alive and kicking. From the surprisingly cool murder mystery story to the set designs, customes, music and even the faces of the actors, everything just works to bring the absurdity to life. Blending the over-the-top world of this spooky family with Burton's masterful macabre abilities feels like a masterstroke, quickly elevating this to one of Netflix their current top shows.
The support of castmembers such as Zeta-Jones and the original Wednesday Christina Ricci certainly helps, but it's young Jenna Ortega who steals the show effortlessly. Her ice-cold depiction of deeply sarcastic Wednesday Addams is of Antarctic-freeze levels and will leave you all warm and fuzzy when watching her bend her entire world to her dark and brooding will.
A must see for any Tim Burton fan and anyone who loves some dark comedy really. It's alive.
