It was stupid but watchable up until the finale episode. The finale was just eye rollingly dumb and had tone problems.
They lost the joy and humor of the source material. They also didn't understand the source material. The Addams family members do not identify as "outcasts" and are generally oblivious to their kooky and creepy vibe freaking people out.
The actress who played Wednesday saved a terrible script with her excellent performance. But the show creators did not seem to comprehend the difference between goth girl and unredeemed selfish jerk.
What they did expanding the role and presentation of Thing was really fun.
I predict that show will get a zillion seasons.
