Just watched the first episode of this, and loved it. :)

Re: Wednesday
 

Binged Wednesday on Thursday. Very good imo

Re: Wednesday
 

Just watched the first episode and I think I'm already hooked.

Re: Wednesday
 

We’re coming up to ep.7 I think. Loving it. The kids have finished it already.

Re: Wednesday
 

Binged the full season, looking forward to a second one and more.

Wednesday
 

First show I have ever watched in one hit , looking forward to the next series :D

Re: Wednesday

Netflix Has Renewed Wednesday for a Third Season Ahead of Its Second Season Premiere

Re: Wednesday
 

Season 3 coming sometime in the early 2030s then …

Re: Wednesday
 

Filming moved to Ireland for season two and various strikes caused delays . These shows do take time to make and then dubbed and subtitled etc. The streaming world!

Re: Wednesday
 

Even allowing for the writers strike, Netflix’s commissioning and scheduling process is notoriously Kafkaesque. It’s taken them more than 9 years to get 5 seasons of Stranger Things in the bag, and that’s one of their biggest, most recognisable hits. 3 years just to get here from the release of the last season.

Broadcast channels would previously churn out almost 25 episodes of FX-heavy shows like Stargate or Star Trek and their spin-offs every year, year after year, for a decade at a time.

Re: Wednesday
 

Aye and half of those episodes were fillers. We'll not start on FX standards...

Re: Wednesday
 

That doesn’t make the point you think you’re making. :dozey:

They managed to produce maybe a dozen quality episodes, half a dozen meh episodes, and then another half dozen fillers, plus a clip show, every year.

Your average top-rated Netflix show manages a dozen, at most, once every 2-3 years.

Re: Wednesday
 

Watched first part of season 2 . Can't skip intro. Not keen on the family been there more.looking forward to second part but not as much as was this one. Hope it's gets better

Re: Wednesday
 

Forgot to say loved seeing my old car. OK one like it!!

Re: Wednesday
 

Only seen episode 1 so far, it was ok, not sure I'm keen on Pugsley yet.

Re: Wednesday
 

Just watched again ! Not sure l will even bother with second part.

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.

Re: Wednesday
 

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

Re: Wednesday
 

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
 

Lifting from futurerama does no favours. Posted it a thumbs down , pass on secord part for the moment

Re: Wednesday
 

I don’t follow Futurama - what bit did they steal?

The Simpsons did it before Futurama. :)

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.

As in :D

Re: Wednesday
 

One of my fave comedies of old was Steve Martins The Man with 2 Brains

Re: Wednesday
 

I see futurama was March 28th 1999. When was it in The Simpsons. Of cause both by the same guy

Re: Wednesday
 

It was first done in a 1925 novel called The Heads of Cerberus.

The earliest clear example on film is The Brain That Wouldn’t Die (Also sometimes seen as The Head That Wouldn’t Die). This was produced in 1959 but not released until 1962, with an erroneous copyright notice that meant it was effectively in the public domain from day 1 - which is possibly why the idea of a living brain kept alive in a jar has become so oft-repeated.

Re: Wednesday
 

21 October 1993, Season 5 Episode 4.

Yep, as noted, both are Matt Groening series.

Re: Wednesday
 

From what I remeber of the classic show and the 90s movies wasn't Pugsley also a bit simple/stupid?

Re: Wednesday
 

Exactly and is being portrayed as that today.

Re: Wednesday
 

At least there new writers are being consistent :angel:

I've only watched the first episode so far. Didn't grab my attention like season 1 did.

Thank you
