Sandy (Age 9) - ★★★★★
"Wednesday is Netflix’s new (ish) comedy series starring Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), bringing back some old Addams family characters such as Morticia Addams, Gomez Addams, Pugsley Addams and Thing Addams. Also introducing new characters like Enid (Emma Myers) and Tyler. The best character (in my opinion) was Thing, the hand, he is funnier than the rest. I can’t wait for season 2. Have you seen the show?"

The excellent actress Christina Ricci is iconic as Wednesday Addams in the brilliant '90s movies of The Addams Family and Values. Also worth checking out is more Addams adaptations with the recent animated films. Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incoporated has a similar vibe to the show as does Ms. Marvel following a teen outsider. The writers of the show also had a part in Spider-Man 2, I Am Number Four and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Meanwhile there's more campy fun with The Addams Family in the original TV series of the '60s.
