Wednesday (TV Series)

"Tim Burton’s witty 'Addams Family' spin-off is perfect (...) It’s creepy, charming and has a lead who more than matches Christina Ricci (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Netflix's Wednesday Addams spinoff is a spooky, kooky and delightfully dark mash-up of genres (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"You might have hoped for better for The Addams Family’s best character, but at least she’s perfectly pitched by Jenna Ortega (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Despite Ortega’s fantastic performance and Burton’s active involvement, [it] never really captures what made 'The Addams Family' so viscerally strange (...) It does, however, get what makes a teen Netflix show tick" 

"It succeeds very well at pushing the story into something a little more grown-up, and a little more supernatural, but never loses sight of the heart, humor, and kooky horror that have kept us all double-snapping for decades" 

"Is Not Quite Mysterious or Spooky Enough (...) Affable performances and genre stylings keep it breezy and entertaining (...) For all its eccentricities (...) it’s a rather generic Young Adult murder mystery at its core. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)" 

"I suspect it, like Burton's 'Dark Shadows' and 'Alice in Wonderland', is more likely not to be remembered at all — apart from being a footnote in the history of the director's artistic decline"
