I watched this because of the Emmy awards this show won. So if like me you want to watch this - don't. Total waste of time and you find yourself waiting for each episode to reveal something, and it isn't coming. NOT ONE EPISODE gives you anything. IT WILL BORE YOU. I found myself asking "Who the fuck was bribed to get this show hyped up this much." I cannot begin to explain how incredibly bored I was through 85% of the four episode blunder. This was like reading a letter without the proper use of grammar. Like watching a wall dry in cloudy weather. I have to give credit to the actors, they were good - however, this wasn't Emmy worthy, perhaps not even worth a nomination. The show starts off with a bang, you believe you are going to be shown the actual events leading up to the murder. You hope you will be told by the Detective what happened. You hope to be taken on a dirt-bike through the Amazon... BUT - you are left with a bland story, nothing which threads into the previous episode. The story itself could have been better, the plot could've yielded MUCH BETTER performances if this series was perhaps longer. The reason behind focusing on one set of characters throughout an entire episode is tiring and puzzling. During the entire duration of each episode I felt myself scrolling to see how much longer of this crap I have to watch. If there is talks about a second season, please cancel it.

Brilliant movie Though provoking story with a twist

The worst hour and forty minutes of over-acting I've seen in years Too much! I believe kids won't find this entertaining for more than 10minutes

So I have read a few reviews, both good and bad and here's my honest opinion. Those of you who say this is VERY bad - it's not Those of you who say this is BRILLIANT - it's not There's so much to this story that needed to be explored and one cannot help but wonder why the creators didnt stick to the "feel" of the original Addams Family? I dont see the portrayal of an "almost dead" family and I do not get to see the Wednesday attitude I was hoping for. One cannot help but wonder if they had a Disney movie in their minds when writing this, instead of a classic olden horror series/movie. Also - the actors cast in this series (apart from Ortega) didnt really shine. One has to wonder if there would have been more convincing acting if they were given a chance but the choice of actors portraying Morticia (Zeta Jones), Gomez (Guzman) made me less interested in the Series. Zeta Jones is not at all the right person to give Morticia 'life'. Her acting is more prone to that of a dry fisherwoman trying to convince the audience that she is trying to play the role of an undead woman - I can think of many great actors who wouldve done this brilliantly! Was Cher too pricey??? Guzman surely not the right fit to portray Gomez which is a pity as he is a great actor in other things I have seen. Good to see Christina Ricci (the original Wednesday) in the series. Initially I thought i would be able to binge this in a day or two but have to admit that it took me two weeks to get through. One only hopes that if there is a second season they would consider bringing in more of the Addams family "values" that made the family part of our lives. PS. The eye-candy which is Hunter Doohan and PH Whyte is worth the roles they portray and a good distraction from the horrible acting coming from the seasoned actors.
