The past can't be grasped; the future is in our hands.

Two seasons in, the Addams family's utterly merciless lines still crack me up — sharp, cutting, sardonic, macabre all work as descriptors. In a society that prizes politeness and propriety to the point of some hypocrisy, does Wednesday also let off a certain amount of our pent-up pressure?

The first six episodes drag a little in pacing; thankfully the last two swiftly explain many of the setups, so it's not hard to absorb all at once — you could say it's plenty tense! The finale looks like there'll be another season? Looking forward to it!

I really have to hand it to their casting! Tyler and zombie Isaac are both so handsome, both giving off a melancholy-young-man vibe — but there's too little screen time where they show their true faces! All I can say is, casting Owen Painter as a zombie is such a waste 🤣
