Season 1 Review:
Thanks to Ortega’s wildly entertaining blur of arch broadness and subtlety, plus creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar’s refusal to over-explain or over-evolve the eternally nihilistic goth favorite, Wednesday gets to come into her own here. Though the overall series is rarely quite at its leading lady’s level — adjust your expectations for more of an above-average CW dramedy — there are enough promising elements that I hope Wednesday gets the opportunity to make a second season with some refinements.

Season 2 Review:
Soap opera machinations drive the plot exactly where you think, when you think. What seems on the surface shiny and new is really a Frankenstein’s monster of countless teen hits: Emily in Paris meets X-Men meets Veronica Mars meets Riverdale, all stitched up in style.

Season 1 Review:
The show’s dialogue is flavorless at best and laughable at worst. ... Though she has zero to work with, horror-movie fave Ortega does what she can with her character, nailing the deadpan delivery Christina Ricci perfected in the ’90s movies. ...Others caught up in this dreck include Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, and Fred Armisen. What’s more, horror legend Tim Burton directed half the season’s episodes; but the show’s visual language is so flat that you’d never know.

Great show, Jenny Ortega really knocked it out of the park and the show would not have been the same without her.

Think the CW when it didn't suck. Dumb fun, good for a while. Surprisingly unfunny but with great acting from lead Jenna. The CGI is so bad it's painful but it's only a few scenes. If there ever is a second season, I don't think I'd watch it.
