Alright, lets adress the elephant in the room. The acting, camerawork and editing is out of this world and it is very unexpected to see a reboot of the Addams Family but its done really well in a modern setting and the overall universe and worldbuilding is great but where this show lacks is the story.
You have your average teen drama characters and storyline and it actually does turn the clichés around to provide some humor but I can't say the same for the "detective story". The twist that Thornhill and Tyler were the bad guys wasn't executed that well. From the first scene you see Thornhill you could smell she was the bad guy through the screen. They try to decive you with the psycologist and xavier but it really does not work that well either.
I really feel like there is potential a second season if they dont play it as safe and try to actually experiment a little with the story.
Tl;dr amazing acting and visuals but a generic meh story that has already been done too many times.
