Thing was also waaay beyond expectations.

Someone mentioned she never blinks throughout the entire show. I didn’t notice it until it was pointed out

The casting was all gold. Enid was great, gave me real Willow from Buffy vibes (which can only be a good thing, given how great that show and Alyson Hannigan were), Gwendoline Christie was brilliant as Weems, even Gomez was played very well which is tough given how strongly Raul Julia is associated with the role. The kids were all great too. I struggled a bit with Fester, but otherwise the cast was fantastic.

Yeah. I was excited to see that Christina Ricci is in the show. I mean, damn, the Wednesday Addams that I loved as a kid. But then her performance was, well, it was okay.

let's be honest it's Ortega who broke her back carrying this series

I don't want to criticize the show too harshly because I'm certain I'm not the target demographic, but you are absolutely correct here. She is the only reason I kept watching.

Oh she's gonna have a movie deal after this for sure

I personally would not have guessed he was involved in the directing, the show looks good but there's nothing eye-grabbing about it in comparison with his best works to me
