Wednesday season 2

 The hit series is back on Netflix, and I must say I enjoyed the first one.

 

And this time, it doesn't only focus around the titular character, but the whole family gets involved.

 

As Wednesday returns to Nevermore, she has Puglsey along this time, and he decides to keep a pet zombie he found.  Which of course is always a good idea... But Wednesday herself also has problems, as in her investigations she suddenly loses her psychic gift.  This influences her behaviour at school, as one of her last visions was her roommate Enid being killed, and she gets an actual stalker / fangirl in the form of Agnes.

 

As she looks further into the matter, the new principal, Dort (an awesome Steve Buscemi as always) enlists her mother Morticia to help in a fund raiser, and wants to bring Wednesday's grandmother in to make huge donations.  Which he of course does by not to legal means, like enlisting a student with siren powers.  And then the zombie escapes and turns out to be Isaac Knight, a former friend and co-student of Morticia and Gomez, and as it turns out the reason Gomez has no abilities.  His goal is to heal his former lover from her Hyde curse, which her son Tyler inherited.  They are sprung out of the assylum even with Wednesday and Fester trying to stop it, and go on a rampage.

 

It also turns out that Thing is actually Isaac's old right hand (literally) as the family opposes him after unraveling the whole fundraiser charade, resulting in Enid fleeing in the outback towards Canada, while Tyler loses his mother but is recruited by dr Capri, a werewolf herself.  And played fantastically by Billie Piper (hello Rose).

 

This was a really fun season, and actually more of an intense affair then the rather dark who-dunnit style of the first.  This also means a totally changing viewing experience, which some approve and others (like myself to be honest) find that it makes the season while fun, not as top tier as the first one.  

 

On the other hand, it is quite fun that it has become a "full" Addams Family show instead of a Wednesday solo adventure, as the other members have great things going about them as well.  Yeah, looking at you Fester, you loveable lunatic!

 

So surely check it out, it makes for some great laid back entertainment and one of the better series on Netflix at the moment for sure.
