I'll make this short, and not divulge any spoilers.
I really enjoyed this a lot, and certainly hope that it gets additional seasons. The sole (minimal) levity in the whole series relates to a few situations involving "Thing". Beyond that, pretty much everything else revolves around a dark story line, and dark events (monsters, killings ,etc.), with the main character (Wednesday) determined to figure out what is going on. Ortega provides a stunningly great performance as Wednesday, and there is a great supporting cast, who also do an excellent job, to complement Ortega's performance.
This is really just a horror series, although, for the most part, considerably more subtle than the typical horror outing. It's Ortega's consistent character that keeps the viewer embedded in the ongoing activities, and not allowing it to slip off into some lesser (silly) genre. It's definitely an interesting binge.
