Product Information

The backstory that led to all the events taking place in season 1 was caused by Morticia killing Garrett Gates, her stalker, in self-defense. Morticia is shown to have the same waist-length hair as a high schooler, with Gomez likewise having the same middle parting. Black Comedy: The opening scene, with Wednesday dumping some vicious piranhas in her school's pool to punish the jocks bullying Pugsley, sets the tone for the season — and yet it also deconstructs the amusing injuries that abounds throughout various Addams Family adaptations, since one of the boys is permanently maimed, his family wants Wednesday charged with attempted murder, and several characters are shocked at her actions.

Rowan's death at the hands of the Hyde at the end of the first episode kickstarts the main plot of the story.

Woman Were-Woes: In something of a Trope Namer, the series involves primarily the title character and her roommate at the Nevermore academy, but other characters do possess shapeshifting abilities.

The first pilgrim-dressed bully who tries to manhandle Wednesday gets kneed in the groin for his troubles. Naturally, we — like Wednesday — went mining for clues about the series' future after its season one finale. And while Consequently, her parents Gomez and Morticia Addams enroll her at their high school alma mater Nevermore Academy, a private school for monstrous outcasts, in the town of Jericho, Vermont. Marilyn Thornhill (revealed to be Laurel Gates), the Big Bad for Season 1, is the Technological Thief, being the brains of the operation pretending to be a staff member of Nevermore Academy who is really utilizing parts of the Hyde's victims in creating a magical machine capable of ultimately resurrecting Joseph Crackstone.

Then he had to go manipulate Wednesday to carry out their plan, and I think he did a pretty good job with it. Dumbwaiter Ride: In the Gates' manor, Wednesday and Enid flee the monster by escaping in a dumbwaiter and riding down into the basement.

Deemed his "first real foray into television", Burton directed four out of the eight episodes, [13] with Gandja Monteiro and James Marshall directing the remaining episodes. Later, they confront Mayor Walker, who reveals that Garrett intended to poison the entire school due to his father's hate for outcasts.No version of Wednesday prior has been implied or shown to have superpowers beyond the usual Addams immunity to dangers and occasional dabbling in the dark arts, with the exception of the animated movies where she is shown to have the ability to read minds. Joseph Crackstone, the Greater-Scope Villain for Season 1, is the Mystical Mage, wielding dark magic upon his resurrection. If he was indeed being manipulated, it could mean that redemption is on the cards for him – that is, if he can shake Ms Thornhill's hold. Wednesday senses that Eugene is in danger and heads into the forest, only to find him gravely injured by the monster.

Wednesday convinces a skeptical Sheriff Galpin that the perpetrator of the murders is in fact a monster. According to Billboard, on-demand streams of the song in the United States increased from 2,500 to over 134,000, [114] and Spotify streams increased by 9,500 percent since the series was released. Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 66 out of 100 based on 26 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Wednesday’s formula may be flawed, but fantasy is the point; in an idealized world where your well-timed barbs and lack of interest in others’ approval made you impervious to bullies and the caretaker of your fellow misfits, who wouldn’t want to be Wednesday Addams?

There, they discover that Laurel Gates, Garrett's younger sister, long believed to be dead, might still be alive. Psychometry: Wednesday learns that her visions can be triggered by touching certain objects tied to the events she's shown, but fails to accurately guess what will trigger one, ultimately receiving a vision from a door handle after inspecting more notable objects in the area.
