Every weekday morning for 2 1/2 hours, my new baby girl and drop my son off at his preschool, and we drive to the opposite end of the town to my grandparents house. And every morning, we sit and watch a show that she has selected on netflix. It’s a wonderful time, and I look forward to our shows.

We are now on our 6th show! (That sounds excessive haha)

But the show I wanted to start out with for this new Review segment, is Wednesday.

That dance was all the rant and rave, so I knew we had to see what all the fuss was about!

Now, I’ve seen the 1991’s The Addams Family movie, and while I did enjoy it, I won’t say I was a fan, because, well that’s the only one I’d ever seen. I didn’t even know there were multiple movies until I just googled the release date on the first movie!

So I’m not a diehard fan, but let me tell ya, I am a fan of the Wednesday show! Jenna Ortega did a fantastic job in the show! And the fact that they brought the original actress of Wednesday in to be on the show was a really cool decision, I think.

This show had me questioning every character the whole way through, and then doubting myself at every turn.

I ended up being correct with my original suspect, but the way they make you second guess yourself is really great!

Now a fun fact that I learned, was that the viral dance that Jenna (Wednesday) did, was mostly improvised! She said she took some moves from the original Wednesday, but none of it was choreographed, and it was great! Kudos to you miss Jenna.

So if you have not watched Wednesday yet, I recommend you do!

If however you have an issue with some blood and guts, maybe it isn’t quite your show. Nonetheless I give this show an 8/10! (I’m giving an 8 because I didn’t like some of the CGI effects.

I hope you will enjoy my new little segment, I’ll try to post one of these every Friday, until I’ve run out of shows to talk about! *haha*

Have a wonderful weekend friend!
