What to Know

Critics Consensus

Wednesday isn't exactly full of woe for viewers, but without Jenna Ortega in the lead, this Addams Family-adjacent series might as well be another CW drama.

Nick Schager

The Daily Beast

Misbegotten on almost every front, it mines its name-brand IP for familiar romance and horror, and proves all the more depressing for being the handiwork of the very artist who decades ago pioneered such macabre teen terrain: Tim Burton.

Geordie Gray

The Australian

These reboots usually suck (see: Tales of the City) but, to my surprise and delight, Netflix’s new Addams Family spin-off, Wednesday, works a charm.

Nina Metz

Chicago Tribune

It works best when it’s simply being funny. The heavy plotting around a mysterious supernatural something or other? Very, very mid, but you need something to propel the story forward enough to stretch it out for eight episodes.

Rated: 2.5/4

Itz A It is a good series I realy enjoyed it Cast was good. Especially the actress Jenna who played the role of Wednesday addams. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/05/24 Full Review Bruce W The build up is incredible, but payoff is slightly underwhelming. Loved the characters and absolutely cannot wait for season two. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/30/24 Full Review Audience Member This series is truly impressive with its captivating plot twists and Jenna Ortega's outstanding acting. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/14/24 Full Review Eric K Had a lot of heartwarming scenes about the importance of friendships. It was also dark and twisted as it should be. There was even an implied murder of someone instead of bothering to wait for the police to pick up the criminal. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review Edu L I love It, super fan Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/24 Full Review Emma N Wednesday is an awesome show, would really recommend to watch it, there are some scary parts and amazing parts.
