Wednesday Season 1 (2022) Series Review

The Wednesday Season 1 Poster by Netflix

I just finished it, and it is really, REALLY good, undoubtedly the best new Series on Netflix. Lots of expectations when Tim Burton put his Name on this Series, but kudos to him and his Creative Team for delivering the Goods big time. 

It just so good on so many levels, first is that it is not only about the Dark Humor and quick, witty Dialogue, there is a lot of multi-level Storytelling also involved, giving most of the Characters a lot of depth. 

A lot of talk about how Jenna Ortega was absolutely perfect for the Role, but for me it just wasn't her, most of the other Actors and Actresses also did very well, helping contribute to just how good this Show is. 

Take Catherine Zeta Jones, for example. I wasn't sure if she was going to be a good Morticia Addams since Anjelica Huston in the Role was a pretty hard act to follow, but she delivered wonderfully, proving that she could indeed still be good in a Comedy Role. 

You know this Series will be full of dark, quick wit, but it still catches you wonderfully off guard at various moments every time it comes, like when Wednesday told Gomez she knew he didn't have it in him to be a Convicted Killer, then Gomez says he forgives her even if what she said "stings".

The Soundtrack is also pretty good, something that is certainly noticeable, they were turning Classic Songs from the 1970s onwards into an Instrumental played by an Orchestra. 

SPOILER ALERT (Don't read this if you don't want Spoilers), I'm glad the previous Wednesday Christina Ricci didn't just go into the Series in a Cameo Role but was in fact quite a Pivotal Character. We may even see more of her in succeeding Seasons. 

Anyway, this THE Must-Watch Series on Netflix right now, and looking at all the buzz it is generating it seems a lot of other People agree with it, too.
