Wednesday (S1) | Mysterious, Funny, and Spooky

I've watched #Wednesday twice already, the show is brilliant and the performances are stellar. Bravo @jennaortega bravo #netflixoriginal #netflix #nospoilers

The Addams’ family movies might be one of the first live-action adaptations I was aware of, and although I haven’t revisited these stories in a while, the idea of a TV-Show centered on Wednesday Addams was intriguing. Alfred Gough & Miles Millar as the creators, with Tim Burton setting the tone as one of the directors, and Jenna Ortega as the titular character? Yeah, I’m listening. The teaser…

Gandja Monteiro, regista di "Agatha: Coven of Chaos", sul set della serie. Apparentemente ci saranno diverse scene o una lunga scena in questa foresta, dato che la troupe gira lì da molto tempo.

the Wednesday series is so silly goofy for even IMPLYING that gomez and morticia wouldn't know how to cover up a murder properly, let alone that Wednesday would be unironically scandalised by learning her parents had killed someone. like...do the clowns writing this show actually understand the premise/ethos of The Addams Family? why does this show constantly have them allying with/grovelling at the feet of institutions?? why bother making a show about Wednesday and by extension the Addams family if you're not going to honour their competent oddness and satirical anti-establishment roots? and that's before we even get into the weird ass colourblind racism all throughout this show. I cannot believe there's a scene in this show where morticia addams, a white woman, tells a Black man he has "no idea what it's like not to be believed." I can't believe that the ringleader of the bullies who is bigotedly abusing the "outcasts" is a young Black boy. The antiblackness is insane. like, really? it's so obvious there are next to no poc in significant creative roles on this show which is so fucked considering they not only made Wednesday Latine, but made her ancestory an integral part of the series. I feel like a broken record at this point, but surface level diversity in casting means absolutely nothing so long as the people holding creative control are white. It's just elaborate puppetry, and too many of you fall for it everytime. All this show does is use actors or colour to pay lip-service to the "whitewashing" of history, while the show itself is written and directed almost exclusively by white people. As far as I can tell there is one director of colour, Gandja Monteiro, who directs 2 mid season eps. Every single other person in creative decision making roles is white. It's an absolute JOKE.

i got this in my inbox a while ago and i have been wracking my brain trying to come up with a decent reply. this person makes SUCH a good point about the show and i totally agree. since tim burtons name is attached to the show i wasn't really that surprised since he's know to be kinda racist... there really has to be a change in the industry. not only for POC but also for LGBTQ and disabilities rep. Show with WLW and POC are constantly getting canceled and i'm honestly so tired of it.

back to the point of this persons message, i'd love to hear other peoples thoughts on this topic!
