We’ll sure give it a look, but honestly, I’ve never been a Tim Burton fan. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

Well, my girls do love The Nightmare Before Christmas and his Willy Wonka. Perhaps we'll watch a bit. Thanks. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

There are many great quotes in the series. I think my favorite, so far, is "I find social media to be a soul-sucking void of meaningless affirmation." Her deadpan delivery of these gems are priceless "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system,,,, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe "If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living." -- Seneca the Younger, Roman Stoic philosopher | |||

Loved the 1st episode and as an Adams Family watcher in the day, looking forward to the rest. Well done. | |||

Jenna Ortega is awesome. That dance routine. Oh that dance routine. She choreographed it herself. She makes the show. I normally like Guzman, and thought he was a good choice, but he just comes across a little bland for Gomez. But then again, he's following a scene stealing (and chewing) performance by the all time greal Raul Julia. Tough act to follow. Catherine Zeta Jones still looks fantastic, but she's what you get when you order Morticia Adams on wishdotcom. Loved that they got Ricci to do a supporting role. Gwendolyn Christie was really good as well (and the recipient of Morticia's one truly cutting barb...) I really liked the show overall after it grew on me for an episode or two. Glad to hear it's getting another season. | |||

In season 2 they need to give Lisa Loring a cameo _________________________ NRA Endowment Member _________________________ "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

Thing takes the show every episode - Thing deserves an Oscar. | |||

Oscars are for movies. Shows (including streaming shows) get Emmys. | |||

Agreed, (for the Emmy!) and interestingly enough, Thing was not CGI. There are some cool videos on YouTube that show how that “green screened” his scenes. ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

We finished watching it last night and loved it. Ortega's deadpan delivery was uniformly wonderful throughout, with some great lines that were given so seriously but were hilarious as a result. Thing was great, too. The mystery was the only weak link in my mind, but it wasn't high drama and there were enough red herrings that it could have plausibly gone a different way until near the end. We're hoping for a season 2. *** "Aut viam inveniam aut faciam (I will either find a way or make one)." -- Hannibal Barca | |||

I finished it, and while it wasn't totally my cup of tea, it was fairly enjoyable. It's clearly aimed at the same Harry Potter/Percy Jackson/etc. "young adult fantasy fiction" crowd in their tweens/teens, considering it has the exact same underlying premise. (Young outsider who never fit in in the "real world" finds out there's actually a secret world coexisting with their own, and is sent to a special boarding school where they get to explore this strange new subculture and meet all these fantastic new peoples with their magic abilities and finally make friends along the way, while at the same time discovering that they're even more super-duper special themselves and therefore destined to save the world, because the adults are all inept and just don't understand.) This is the exact same thing, just with a slightly darker and more sarcastic heroine than usual. Overall, I give it a 7/10. Ortega did a great job as Wednesday. A couple of the supporting actors were pretty good too, including the overly bubbly roommate Enid, and The dialogue, especially for Wednesday, was solid. The plot was just okay, and a bit cliche. The mystery/twist was simplistic and telegraphed early on. But they did a good job with the sets and scenery. If they do a Season 2, I'll probably get around to watching it eventually. | |||

Entertaining. Wednesday was played well by actress. Light, fluffy watch, but worth it. | |||

NO!!!!!! Would not even let my 9 year old watch it. The killing scenes are a bit too graphic for kids in my opinion. But the things some parents let their kids watch these days completely blow my mind. We finished it last night and we enjoyed it. Pretty good story line and not fully predictable. Only a little bit of wokeness dropped in there on occasion with some silly one liners from Wednesday usually. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.
