Netflix's "Wednesday" (Season 2)

[Batman90]

I’m really enjoying the show so far. The camping episode is my favorite so far.

Same here. Honestly just like “Addams Family values” I’m enjoying season 2 more than season 1.

I kind of sorta watched it this weekend. More like sat in the same room as my wife watched it.

It's the same as season 1 for me. The show looks amazing but I am clearly not the target audience with the way it's written. I find everything cringy and although I enjoy Wednesday the character, her monotone and distant personality is better fit as a supporting character, not the main, it gets seriously exhausting to watch her. I do think Jenna Ortega plays her very well though. The camping episode was pretty good though, I paid attention to that one.

Also, to say Lady Gaga 'can't act' and 'hasn't had a solo hit in 15 years' is factually incorrect. Now, you may not like how she acts or her characters, but she can act. And you can not like her music, but can't deny she has had solo hits in the last 15 years.

This is sort of how I felt watching what little of S1 that I did. Ortega is good as is her character. It's just everything else around her doesn't mesh well too much.

I feel like maybe the writers are trying to speak to an audience w/ their world rather than inviting their audience into their world.

The best way to put it is something akin akin to older folks trying to be hip and cool but not understand what is now hip and cool to present it naturally. I like the visuals but just feel like it's trying to hard to fit in than just being it's own thing in it's own way to make it unique.

So far, so good. I really enjoyed the first four episodes. Once again, I like how much this show reminds me of Harry Potter at certain points. And Jenna Ortega is wonderful as always.

My only criticism is that I am not a fan of the way they split the season in two. I am not sure that was the right decision and feel like this just stops the momentum the first four episodes built up.

I think they should have just released all eight episodes.

I thought season 1 was good.
But I'm not digging S2 so far. It's way too "Hogwarts - but with a twisted twist!"
I can't stand invisible girl.
I don't find any of the characters interesting. The plot meanders forward. I mean, what ACTUALLY happened in the first three episodes? If there was one episode covering the first 3.3 episodes, I think we'd have a more interesting show.
Too many red herrings (lol pun) just like season 1, but with less interest in who is doing what outside of the mystery.

I don't like Pugsley. Uncle Fester is alright in small snippets, but totally fails when put in the spotlight.

This tries to capture the "spirit of kooky" amidst the mystery, with some spooky thrown in, but I feel they are doing 'things' that are any of those adjectives, but it doesn't embody those traits naturally.
I mean, there are scenes. People talk. But like... I feel zero connection to anyone, or any thing (haha! "Thing!" haha) that happens. It's like a dull candle flame, and there needs to be some spark to really set this show off and make it fire.

I'll keep watching, since I use it to take a break from my studies. But I had hope that they could get IN STEP from S1 to S2, and begin to stride.
Instead, I feel they kind of faltered, tripped a bit, and might just end up smashing their face before they recover. Only time will tell.

This cross promotion made me smile as I have a family member who often incorrectly refers to Wednesday as "Wendy."

Can’t wait till tomorrow I can use my vpn and watch the second half of season 2.

I like the season but it was stupid and lazy to continue the Hyde as the main villain. The Hyde is going to be the villain for the rest of the series. Tim Burton clearly has no creativity left.

The hyde stuff really bores me, it's basically just a fugly hairless werewolf. What's even the point?

[Show spoiler]I was waiting for some kind of plot twist where Isaac and Francoise ended up being step siblings or something, because I wouldn't have expected this show to go full incest since it skews a little younger, and maybe it was because of the resurrection age difference but they just seemed too... involved or something. And Isaac and Tyler looked very similar. But I'm glad they didn't pull that crap.

Overall, it was fine but not as good as season 1. They focused too much on the other members of the Addams family than Wednesday it felt.
