Visually it’s very compelling. Writing tries to be snarky, which I don’t appreciate, but at least it’s brisk.
Good example is when Wednesday escapes her therapist, the principal asks “What happened?”, and therapist just gives a sigh. Bad writing would be to explain that Wednesday escaped through bathroom window, despite we’ve just seen it.
Peel that away, though, and you have a school drama through and through. And Wednesday is this Marie Sue that knows Italian, can fence, play cello and beat three boys in a fistfight.
The only saving grace so far is that they aren’t afraid to discard characters quickly.

i liked only cast of father, Gomez, otherwise I think they kinda ruined setting.
It’s okay series if consider them in multiverse of addams family.
I don’t think I’ve ever saw anything else about the Addams family, honestly. I know there was a cartoon and some movies in the 90’s.
bw original version is nice and just exists on youtube, highly recommend
