Wednesday (2022)

BingeNext's take

If you enjoy shows that mix mystery and dark humor with a touch of fantasy, Wednesday is a great pick. Jenna Ortega brings a fresh, sarcastic energy to the iconic Wednesday Addams as she navigates the eerie halls of Nevermore Academy, uncovering twisted mysteries while juggling friendships and rivalries. With three seasons and sixteen episodes, it’s perfect for diving into a world that’s a bit spooky but also smart and funny. The vibe is a little like Stranger Things or The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, so if you like those, you’ll probably enjoy this too. It feels like hanging out with a clever, slightly deadpan friend who’s always a step ahead in solving strange puzzles. Whether you’re in the mood for some supernatural intrigue or just want a show with sharp wit and memorable characters, Wednesday is worth checking out.

Synopsis

Smart, sarcastic and a little dead inside, Wednesday Addams investigates twisted mysteries while making new friends, and foes, at Nevermore Academy.
