Wednesday S2 E1

“Here We Woe Again”

The long awaited season two of the hit series Wednesday dropped on Netflix today. Featuring characters from the Addams Family, Wednesday sees Wednesday Addams return to school at the mysterious Nevermore.

The show does not miss a step in jumping right back into the mysteries of Nevermore as Wednesday has to deal with her sudden popularity over her saving the school in season one, Pugsley coming to Nevermore with her, a stalker, black tears, as well as a new cabal of characters.

One of those characters is the new principal, Barry Dort, played by Steve Buscemi in a strangely familiar wig and black mustache.

The first episode certainly threw a lot of different things into the fire (some actually literally) setting up what looks to be a jam-packed season two.

Jenna Ortega reminded us immediately that she was the perfect casting for Wednesday Addams. Her dialogue and character play is wonderful. Seeing her spend her summer vacation hunting down and scalping a serial killer made for a great cold open.

Emma Myers returned as Enid, Wednesday’s colorful werewolf roommate and bestie. The easy chemistry between these two is one reason this show had such an amazing season one. Enid feels as if she will be at the center of another psychic vision mystery as we see Wednesday at the end of episode one have a vision where Enid grabbed her and told her that she was dead because of her.

There are a bunch of new mysteries in the air around Nevermore and I will be working on completing the first part of season two over the next week or so. Four episodes dropped today and the second part of four episodes drop at the beginning of September.
