OK, I admit it. I was Jaffa.
I saw the trailers for Netflix’s Wednesday and I said some things. I said it was a bit on the nose, and that everything Tim Burton makes is basically the Addams Family, so isn’t this whole thing redundant. I said big deal, Wednesday goes to spooky Hogwarts.
I was that snob.
I can admit when I am wrong, and in the case of Wednesday, I was very wrong.
I cannot say enough good things about the show. Jenny Ortega as Wednesday is one of the best things I’ve seen on the small screen. The nods to the old tv series, print version and 90’s movies are there, but in a gentle way, never overpowering. The entire cast is superb, and I would quite happily live in some of those sets.
Do yourself a favour, once you’ve finished the Crown or whatever you’re currently watching, watch some Wednesday.
