Season 2 Review “Wednesday”: Netflix Show cannot restore magic

The highly young comedy is better when high school misery is paired with other extreme types of terrorism – a plane crash, a supernatural puzzle, vampire. On Wednesday, the Netflix ADDAMS family chain did so and more when it was first displayed in 2022, combining satirical intelligence with smart representation and killing in a beautiful beautiful place affected by the product and director Tim Burton. Gina Ortega resorted to the Dark Girl. It strengthened her delivery Deadpan and Dance Zombie Dance “Wednesday” as one of the best and most of the funerary comedy per year.

In the second season of “Wednesday”, the first part, which for the first time on Wednesday, followed by the second part on September 3, finds the name again at the Nevermore Academy, where she faced familiar challenges last season. She must navigate the foolishness of her high school peers while solving the metaphysical murder mystery.

But there is a new development that threatens to undermine the indispensable novel, which is the worst nightmare in the teenager – even for a girl with night. The strange family is heading to school with it. Brother Bugsley (Isaac Ordoniz) is a student and her parents (Catherine Zeta Juns) and Gomez (Louis Joseman) helps collect donations and the like. Oh horror.

Season 2 follows many formulas themselves, full of reference to the return of Daddy’s Little VIPER. When you ask the new high school principal, Barry Dort (Steve Bosimimi), whether she wants a Nevermore Academy Spirit poster, she responds, “only if you have one saying” Don’t refresh “.

But it is impossible to restore the magic of the first season, and “Wednesday”, the second season, is not fragile or surprising. In the first four episodes available for review, Zins on Wednesday is not an evil wicked as before. Because we know that she will be disturbed by her classmates, such as her colleague in the Emma Myers, the dynamic is not charming.

However, the link between the members of the AdDams family is explored in a deeper way and adds their dysfunctional reactions a new layer of humor crowded to this mix. The relationship between Wednesday and death is tense, and not only because of the usual teenage girls disgusting towards their mothers. “When can I read your novel?” Mortisia asks about her daughter’s work under progress, “Viper de la Mueete”. “When the sun explodes and the Earth is consumed at the end of the molten world.” Her external voice? “Soon, the mother. Soon.”

Morticia is concerned about the increasing use on Wednesday for its psychological powers because similar capabilities pushed another family member. Her daughter shows annoying signs like black tears that flow from her eyes every time she has a psychological loop – although she is a good look, especially for those who think about the next Halloween costume.

Fortunately, we see a lot of eccentric uncle Fester (Farid Armisin has this role) because it helps on Wednesday to solve its latest cases, sometimes using his motor powers. Christina Ricci, who played on Wednesday in the 1991 movie, also returned. The disorganized villain of the first season is now a disorganized prisoner.

The new additions include the grandmother Hyster Framp (played by Joanna Lumali from “very cool”), the unintegrad Mortisia Mother and the wealthy Mongols that owns the FROMP Mortuaries. She is cold, collusion and happiness by causing a deeper dispute between her granddaughter and daughter. In an ideal step, Christopher Lloyd, who played Wester in the movie, appears as a non -embedded president in a jar studying at the Academy.

The only hand that the Roman magician Victor Dorobanto plays, perhaps the largest number of the screen of anyone. Season 2 opens with an increased sewing supplement of hell from a serial killer. It is simultaneously satisfied and stupid.

As for the conspiracy, it is the same last season. There is another mystery that must be solved, but this time it includes murderous monitoring, a convincing chase, and at least some visits to crazy asylum. There is also a deadly personality of walking added to this mixture, so I expect Gore in the form of GOO, brains and bugs.

But it is in fact performances, casting and artistic prosperity that makes “Wednesday” a great joy. A short ghost story is narrated by a buried heart boy under the skull tree via Burton ClayMation, in black and white, with the spirit of “Frankenweenie”. It is beautiful, sweet and sad. “Wednesday” is not what it was, nor is it okay. He still works as a nervous comedy for a girl and her cut hand.
