A hugely elaborate and wildly entertaining thing that happens very quickly and at great budgetary expense only to be promptly buried under the demands of a more immediately pressing plot strand.
Season 2 is even darker and more eerie in it‘s horror-fun way, which is great for the series.
Also focusing more onthe different types of outcast is great to emohasize the own specialty of Wednesday and Nevermore
Sure, it's possible that the remaining four episodes of the season could lose the plot (or become consumed by it), but given what a strong start this first batch is, I think the only one who'll be full of woe by the end of "Wednesday" is Wednesday herself.
There are still strong “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” vibes — fine by me, because I liked that show a lot. But “Wednesday” works best when it leans most heavily into its history, a strange family happy in the misery they bring onto themselves and to others. To each their own.
Wednesday continues to be passably entertaining mainly thanks to its visuals and its casting, particularly Jenna Ortega in the central role. But even with a couple of trouble spots from Season 1 improved upon, Season 2 still struggles with a wildly uneven tone and comedic moments that too often falter.
Most of Season 2’s first half — even the Burton-directed first episode — is generically dark, with effects beyond The Thing resembling standard-issue CGI in a million other shows. Overall, it looks like a follow-up made with half the budget of Season 1. That is, until the fourth episode.
“Wednesday” Season 2 lacks spark or direction. Bogged down by a meandering plot, distracted writing, unnecessary additions, and a misunderstanding of what made the premiere season winsome despite its many flaws, not even Ortega is enough to lift this one out of its depressive state. For all of the mischief the protagonist seeks, there’s not a whiff of playfulness or sense of fun. And it suffers because of it.
Me parece que Tim Burton se ha superado con esta nueva temporada, la velocidad con la q avanza la historia m parece correcta, el humor a mí personalmente m hace mucha gracia y los momentos de suspense y terror están muy bien llevados, también m parece q la actuación de Jenna ortega ha mejorado mucho con respecto a la primera temporada, pero habrá q ver cómo son los últimos 4 episodios q salen el 3 de septiembre, de momento mi favorito es el episodio 4
Bad writing and poor characterization for a disapointing 3 year wait. There were so many useless subplots and confusing character motivations that by the end I just didn't care. The production and acting are the only thing that made it somewhat palpable.
