Adult Wednesday Addams

This could have been a weekly television series. I think it could have been bigger then Big Bang Theory. Everything about it is refreshing, good and original.

This is a pure delight. Melissa Hunter captures the dark sarcasm and stone cold demeanor that was such a part of the character of Wednesday Addams. Each episode is only a few minutes long but it's more than enough to get the point across.

The story is quite simple. Wednesday Addams is all grown up and is facing the world as an adult. Whether it be finding a place to live, going on a blind date or messing with a reality TV star she always comes out on top and manages to scare the living crap out of everybody she interacts with,

It's a shame that the estate of Charles Addams issued a cease and desist order against Melissa for using their character and forced her to take the series down. But it's still out there on Youtube if you care to look.

Adult Wednesday Addams was great. I think the people who shut it down really missed a chance to make the entire Addams family even more relevant in today's world.

What can I say about this show? Well, I came across it by accident and am glad that I did. I marathon'd both seasons in a single sitting. The episodes are short so it's very doable. And do you know what? Adult Wednesday needs to be on network TV. It could wipe the floor with half the drivel that's polluting airwaves these days. Amazing from start to finish. It hits a wonderful balance of witty and dark while keeping it lighthearted and modern. It really is a must watch. Currently there are only two season. I really do hope there is a third season. I would watch it religiously. Melissa hunter was born to play Wednesday. Do you know what you should do now? I bet you do. You should stop reading this and go watch the show. If you're not hooked by the 3rd episode (if not the very 1st) come back and click the down thumb on this review. No seriously, stop reading this and go check out Adult Wednesday. Why are you still here?

As a web series, "Adult Wednesday Addams" has a great potential. Metaphoric use of a vampire-like creature could be an innuendo of daily struggle of a sophisticated, introvert person encountering shallow people.

In fact, despite of her dark nature, "Wednesday", portrayed by Melissa Hunter, is the most rational character in all situations happening during the series. And, by virtue of that, "Wednesday" is very amiable. Melissa Hunter's performance has an important role in that. For example, she perfectly portrays the frustration of a person facing stupid people while she is trying to stay rational.

Although occasionally the plot lacks a proper storytelling, its short length and conciseness help the series to stay entertaining.

In a nutshell, its minimalist nature makes this series relevant to its audience who are usually social media users.
