An exiled child with family problems finds themselves thrust into a magical private school. Once there a mystery involving their parents, magic and monsters creates whimsical narrative. Sound familiar?
Wednesday answers the question no one asked. What if the Adam's family went to hogwarts? Then changed it just enough to avoid plagerisim. Here Wednesday is Goth Nancy drew. Solving the mysteries with constant thing ex machina.
Well shot. Well acted. Monster looks like a cheap CGI garbage version of xtro. Stories are bland, recycled high-school drama/Harry Potter plot points. It aims more mature but falls flat in teen drama. At times it's rather insufferable. Pushed as a comedy it's seldom ever funny.
Many will enjoy this. Turn your brain off and you can. Think about it and it's the same teen drama that's been on repeat on cable for 30 years. Neither original or very Adam's family.
Give it a shot. But if your bored by episode 2 pick something else. The beat dosen't change.
