Re: Wednesday

Watched all four episodes now, quite enjoyed it, seemed to get better as you went from 1 to 4. Still not keen on Pugsley tho.

Wednesday Addams has lost her "edge" at least for me. Same as Voight in Chicago PD:erm:

I dont watch Chicago PD so I cant comment on that.
The trouble with Wednesday is the first season set expectations that will be very difficult to match again.
I am enjoying it, but I agree it doesnt quite seem as good as Season 1, at least not yet. Its an issue many shows have.

Re: Wednesday

They need a little more comedy and a little less horror. A brain-eating zombie is a bit obvious and not very funny no matter how you do it. And for some reason they’ve written Pugsley as a complete imbecile.

As always, Uncle Fester elevates everything when he finally shows up.

Re: Wednesday

Heads (or brains) kept alive in jars is an ancient trope of the horror b-movie genre. Matt Groening didn’t invent it, either for the Simpsons or Futurama.
