Summary
The show was watchable, but it didn't quite capture my heart. I'm uncertain about how much Burton was truly involved in this project. It didn't give off his signature style, and while he was credited as the director, other directors' names also appeared in the credits. Initially, I was thrilled to hear that Tim Burton was attached to the series, but it turned out to be too focused on teenage high school drama, which wasn't my cup of tea. Jenna Ortega's portrayal of Wednesday was a standout, and she made the character her own. Uncle Fester was decent, and well, Thing was, as always, just a hand. However, I wasn't fond of the casting for the rest of the Addams family; they didn't seem to embody the essence of the characters for me. Though the series had its moments, it didn't live up to my expectations, and I was left feeling somewhat disappointed.
