[@jamesbuchananbarnesss]

Yes

[@SandraMorris51]

I absolutely love Gwendolyn Christie on this show. It’s nice seeing her not in armor or dirty. She’s a beautiful woman and you can tell she loves this role!

[@Tchika]

That was exactly what I thought! I caught myself several times saying "she is gorgeous!" I heard somewhere that she allegedly said about this role that it was the first time she felt beautiful, which kinda makes me sad. She is so awesome!

[@toms5996]

She is both an excellent actor and looks also stunning - perfect for this role!

[@wtimmins]

@@Tchika Well, specifically, the first time she felt beautiful in a role.

[@Tchika]

@@wtimmins ok, that sounds better than what I thought.

[@seanderoo37]

Shes also great as Lucifer in The Sandman.

[@enb0t63]

20:24 One thing that’s sweet and speaks to how loving the Addams family is (compared to most of the families we see here) is how Morticia doesn’t hug or kiss Wednesday but air-kisses and avoids touching her skin. We see Morticia is obviously comfortable with showing physical affection and wants to show her love but she respects Wednesday’s general preference to not be touched or hugged unless she initiates it. She understands and loves her daughter to give her space.

[@thedarkknight2221]

Catherine Zeta-Jones is PERFECT as Morticia Addams! Not only does she LITERALLY look flawless but she also has this very loving energy she gives off. And Luis Guzmán is equally perfect as Gomez Addams. As the only kid to a single mom I would’ve LOVED for Gomez to be my father. He gave his daughter a fencing blade at 5 years old, taught her how to swim with sharks, and gave her her own sense of independence while being incredibly loving and caring for her. I’ll be sure to do the same thing if I ever have a kid.

[@Aiveq]

i might not be liking the plot and its shenanigans but Adams actors both play and look indeed amazing

[@livvyb3583]

Never thought I would feel sorry for Bianca but seeing how her mother treated her I do and I definitely understand her better.

[@Tchika]

Which is so refreshing about this show, right? People have more than one side to them. Usually you're introduced to the cheerleader bully trope and she is JUST awful.

[@toms5996]

How they portray the parents in this show is somehow realistic in some senses - I don't think they mean to be cruel. Just like in real life.

[@radioactive_sunflowerz2450]

Love Bianca's character development and look forward to seeing more of her and her growth next season! Honestly all the nevermore characters introduced in the show really all have their own compelling backgrounds and character arcs, can't wait to see Wednesday continue to interact with them

[@dressbitch]

It's rarely being mentioned, but the actor who played Pugsley is so adorable, he made the character lovable even if Pugsley only has a fewer screen time.

[@thatcarlchick7655]

I was about to comment this very thing! The show is full of excellent performances, but Pugsley's actor stands out as well, especially for having so few scenes. Hope he'll have more time in season 2!

[@heritagehuntress9553]

He is my favorite Pugsley of all the Addams Family iterations.

[@Chrissybrit43]

Gwendolyn Christie who plays Principal Weems said in an interview that being on Wednesday is the first and only time she’s ever felt beautiful on screen which is a really good thing for her on one hand but also quite sad on another. I am glad she got to feel that on Wednesday.

[@enb0t63]

40:45 oh yeah in a few interviews Jenna has mentioned she didn’t want the love triangle thing but she doesn’t have major control of the show of course, she’s just an actor who is sometimes empowered by Tim Burton to do more with the character (unless she gets more creative control somehow in S2). She’s said she gets why the showrunners wanted to do it (it’s a teen high school drama show) and she’s had to rationalise it as best she can and play it accordingly (E.g. her character’s doing it to solve the mystery, not wanting to be alone)

[@mikaltima]

It's great news that Netflix has announced there will be a season 2.

[@heinleinreader]

The Addams Family was a comic strip back in the day. The same was true of the film St. Trinian's and it's sequel. That began as a comic strip as well.

[@jarrettstewart1885]

They said in the comics that Gomes has a very high tolerance to pain three times more than a regular human he can also walk on walls

[@SweetSlytherinGirl-Jennifer]

I cannot wait until they finish this season and see the full picture! Guys, my no-spoiler advice is just to remember EVERYTHING. This is Tim Burton we're talking about, nothing is unintentional and everything is important!

[@TheLastHylianTitan]

I can’t wait for that one scene. Spoilers below. The “that’s what you get for messing with nevermore” scene. God I can’t wait for that particular shoe to drop.

[@latrelljack8751]

If I’m not mistaken Tim Burton only directed the first 4 episode right. Your point still stands tho.

[@AtomicVampire1]

Gomez’s ID number on his orange jumpsuit is actually Charles Addams’ birthday.

[@ElGatoBlanco1970]

Good catch

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

Wednesday got renewed for a second season

[@djturner1992]

Finally !!!

[@ElGatoBlanco1970]

Was there Ever Really any doubt? ( same with Sandman) It's all just Hype to keep the show in the press between seasons. I mean is there Really Any other reason I can't help but be assaulted with photos/stories about Jenna Ortega any time I use social media?

[@e1evene1even]

I love Gomez! He's the perfect supportive and loving husband/father.

[@GingerGeek7567]

Wednesday announced yesterday there is a season two coming which I'm very happy about... loving your reactions guys love to both xxxx

[@aprilshighfantasysoul5891]

I think the biggest thing I've taken away from Wednesday is that they did such a good job making every single side character so interesting, I just wanted more and more of them. They created such compelling characters that I'd happily watch a way longer series that took the time to sit with all of them

[@carolperry7695]

emma myers said they were behind a month at the end of shooting they had enough to finish

[@terencebrookes503]

did you know Gomez originally was engaged to Morticia's sister, Ophelia, in an arranged marriage. A few days before the wedding, however, he met and fell in love with Morticia and wound up marrying her instead.

[@OfficialAuntieJenn]

I think the awkwardness we feel during Gomez and Morticia's PDA...may be a reflection of how this must feel to a teenage Wednesday.

[@ElGatoBlanco1970]

What "We"? Do you have a mouse in your pocket?

[@OfficialAuntieJenn]

@@ElGatoBlanco1970 sorry I was agreeing with the reaction... So, reactor + me = we

[@agenttheater5]

16:32 My guess is Ansel Gates was embarrassed that a son of his would've become so much as infatuated with an outcast, let alone obsessed with one.

[@teenietinytony]

what i find really funny about the "love triangle" is how it's even less of a triangle than love triangles usually are (they're usually just angles really) because there's something going on with tyler and wednesday (no matter how anyone might view that) and then there's xavier kinda just... there. pining. and being jealous and salty. while wednesday doesn't care about him in that way if at all. it's hilarious. i really hope in the next season they build up their friendship a bit more, because they could be wonderful friends if xavier stops whining all the time lmao

[@kazicarroll6543]

ugh i love you guys’ reaction to this series!! so excited to see yall react to more :)

[@jillianmary]

Sheriff was right about the coverup… his bias just made him think it was Nevermore’s fault instead of normies. Wonder if that’s a theme 🤔

[@MrDarkwing78]

Incase you didn't pick it up, The Nightshades were disbanded after the death of a "Normie" kid about 30 years ago according to exposition in an earlier episode, that kid was Garrett Gates.

[@curtisbme]

Interesting watching reactions is that some aspects of the re-watch highlight moments of dialog that means something else, or at least has a lot more meaning, once you know what happens later. Good writing for a 'lighthearted' show like this.

[@MrJdronin]

This episode may feel like an intermission of sort, but it's not. It will all tie back in. The show might be paced better for bingeing.

[@srishroxsy2713]

Saying tomboy-ish is not a weird or offensive thing to say. Love your reactions!

[@ElGatoBlanco1970]

There is Nothing wrong with Tomboyism. The problem exists when people excise the term to be something wrong or lacking in terms of a Tomboy not being able to Also be Feminine.

[@quartz97]

There are some connotations that folks could find offensive, but I think it depends on how you use it.

[@follower8815]

Who are you to say what is or isn’t offensive for other people 😂

[@DRIFTZGAMES]

Bro this channel is amazing whenever a show comes out I go to this channel!

[@danah7486]

The Gomez murder mystery was there to show how deeply the hatred of outcasts actually goes for the Gates family. It plays out kinda "jokey" now but both the secret society (I forget the name) that Wednesday doesn't want to be a part of and the gang that put paint into the sprinkler system were actual dangerous things in the past. There was real hate at play that we are starting to get glimpses of.

[@soulsimplistic]

I never noticed before but the flashback scene (when Garett is exiting his father "SUV" @16:35) , he is exiting a 1991 Mitsubishi Montero, which would be pretty damn accurate to the time this scene occurs. Such great attention to chronological detail, but the rims are wrong.

[@HellfireComms]

Luis and Catherine's portrayals of Gomez and Morticia were pretty good (CZJ especially). Hopefully Luis is directed to play him a bit more manic in the second season, that's how he's usually portrayed. The lad playing Pugsley is decent too, but he really needs more time to show off how smart he actually is.

[@joelburt4312]

Funnily enough, this is the episode I’m currently up to. As someone who has never seen anything Addams Family related before this, I’m loving this show - definitely intrigued to see how the animated, 90’s and maybe even the 60’s versions compare!

[@PringlesOfficial_]

7:27 A little mishap in the details that I caught right here was the date, Nov 9, 2022. I believe its the next episode when Wednesday’s birthday is and on the first episode she says she was born on Friday the 13th. She turned 16 making her born in 2006. The only two friday the 13ths in 2006 were in January and October. So it was Nov 10 the next day even tho her bday is Oct 13th 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@lisamccoy6514]

Such a great show to rewatch and catch the Easter eggs. Great bunch of young actors and love seeing the seasoned vets like Catherine Zeta. As always fun reaction love u guys! See you next episode ✌️

[@cambion_entertainment]

15:54 I missed this reference on my first watch. The cop referenced the title of the 90’s film sequel, Addams Family Reunion

[@garrettshock9513]

Early enough you guys may see this. Thank you for bringing pure joy into the world!

[@jessicablueheart9772]

When your outside it's kind of hard to hear their reaction qnd the show. But I do love how they are reacting when I'm home

[@A113-e9l]

I can tell, Greg will make a great father. I'm kind of sensing it recently how he's changing. Unaware or not, his approach on these reactions is leading him to a more parent-like vibe - at least to me.

[@dillonsukram9381]

I love the original 1990 movies. I remember watching them as a kid. She sounds so much like Wednesday and is perfectly cast.

[@ElGatoBlanco1970]

Low key Trader Sam's joke. Lol. The head hunter in the Jungle Cruise ride at Disneyland (iirc it's no longer used. )

The veil dropping was a classy touch.

[@lialovez]

“Doesn’t go with the main story” Yeah…. ighttt 😂😂😂

[@BrenShorter]

Yea the thing with the parents leading into how they act at school, I'm thinking Biancas mom and the way she grew up must have made her very sensitive to people she thinks see themselves above her

[@vapoet]

I've noticed that not a single adult is honest on the show. It's not even whether the adults are good or bad, but none are honest. Everyone has a secret or agenda

[@edgar214ER]

Glad Greg little brother Eugene is alive

[@karlafm24]

I love how Greg is so adamant that Tyler is the monster. 🤭

[@abeltyca]

my family had a great time watching this. the representation and positive attention towards the latin community has been great to see and has made my family felt represented and honestly got us talking about more latin actors lately. but yea early on we were like gomez doesn’t feel like gomez adams lol thank you for covering this love you rejects❤️‍🔥

[@cristinasada1597]

The completely unsubtle references to Enid’s lycanthropy conversion camp as an LBGTQ metaphor are super interesting imo, I hope they lean into that more later

[@anthonyrodriguez4905]

The director of episodes 5 and 6 of Wednesday will direct a few episodes of the Agatha show later this year or maybe next year

[@kfactor20]

39:51 that would actually be pretty badass. It would also negate the claims that some people have made toward Tim Burton being “racist” for making the colored characters bullies, even though both Bianca and the normie guy both get redemption arcs

[@Emerald-ym9rh]

Technical issue. Clicking the "next button" took me to episode 7, not 6.

[@bensweiss]

This Gomez is more genuine. He is supposed to be less attractive (some have used the word "pig faced") and Morticia is supposed to be very attractive (modeled after Charles Addams 1st and 3rd wives). The comic portraits give a lot of flavor and I think some of them and their concepts have been integrated into the series. And I've appreciated shows that take a Broad City approach to female relationships.

the only thing i don’t understand with this world is where the line is drawn. wednesday attempts murder in the first episode but is mad when she finds out her father might’ve done the same thing?

[@itbechelsea]

THANK YOU. I like the show but it really doesn't make a lot of sense.

[@Moretosh]

[@perfectlyimperfect1095]

Wednesday was angry because she felt like they lied to her rather than the actual crime itself. It seems she just wished they were honest with her because them keeping it a secret almost cost them their family. She felt deceived.

[@kerithsunshine9584]

In Wednesday's mind it would be embarrassing for people to think she failed to murder, even if she didn't intend to murder the guy. She just likes to creep people out. And I also think she was mostly upset with her parents for keeping the secret.

to be fair that might have also just have been wednesday trying to insult him. as she does, y'know?

[@ElGatoBlanco1970]

This episode (and Series tbh) Is not much more than the standard Tropes of teen romance dramatic/comedies. It's just updated to include/exploit "modern" sensitivities. It's all very "inclusive" and easily described using the current buzzwords and trends of this modern age. I'm curious if it will remain relevant 20 years hence. Somehow I doubt it will have the Artistic Merit or integrity that a Hitchcock film has despite the current interpretation those films have when interpreted or viewed under the Modern lense that Popular Culture imposes on art.
