  Wednesday (2022) Jenny Ortega stars as Wednesday Addams in Tim Burton's new Netflix series.  Release date: 11/23/22 Runtime: ~45 minutes per episode Director: Tim Burton Writer: Alfred Gough (series created by), Miles Millar (series created by), Charles Addams (based on characters created by) Streaming on: Netflix I don't think I'm the target audience, and that is okay. The best casting to me is when I can't imagine anybody else in the role. The only person this is true for so far is Jenny Ortega.

The quality is good for Netflix, but I'd feel ripped off if I paid movie ticket prices at a theater for this.  This is my second viewing of this film and its rewatchability doesn't hold very well. The deep subjects covered going on in the main character's tape...
