This series centered around Wednesday addams is okay, rather commercial than unique. Please proceed at your own discretion** While I don’t mind character analysis, due to this series, I found myself looking for something to like about it. The characters are not written/portrayed similarly with the 90s Addams family, unfortunately. Starting with the character the story revolves, Wednesday’s character falls flat at fiery one liner of her script. For example, during her first counseling, and as much as I love the actress portraying Wednesday Addams, she gave one dimensional dreadful look on three different lines that would have been nicely delivered had her facial expressions changed just slightly at each required feeling. It only makes sense she acts and expresses dreadfulness for being in counseling when she didn’t want to, however, in this particular scene, she had fond and delightful memories of being mischievous but the actress never changed her facial expression during and afterwards. Rather, Jenna, maintained the dreadful expression throughout her conversation with the counselor. In contrary, Christina Ricci was able to express such nuances in subtle ways (Wednesdays terms). In the 90s film for example, when Wednesday was asked by the boy who had a crush on her at the cemetery whether she ever thinks of marriage in the future, her comeback didn’t have a dreadful expression, though, her subtle transition of facial expressions after the boy got scared in the film, made Wednesday’s character more realistic, seamless acting and believable because it didn’t feel forced. This is not the only scene nor the scene Wednesday was never justified unfortunately. Prior to the scene and for the remainder of the series, the actress could only express a dreadful facial expression, very one dimension, forced, and Jenna is not in tune with her character’s character/personality. Burton also aligned Wednesday’s character with Nancy Drew. This Netflix Wednesday is Nancy drew with the aesthetic of gothic Wednesday Addams. 🤢 This series is not unique and mainly due to its storyline. The only repeating pattern throughout the storyline is humanizing outcasts sacrificing their uniqueness. The flaw in tim burton’s idea of making the others acceptable because they are humanized (commercialized) and making a point they are more odd than whimsically the others. This sacrificed the most important thing that made us love about the outcasts-their Uniqueness and embracing it. Instead, this series bore us in 8 far too long episodes on how and why we shouldn’t fear the outcasts and how they are just as flawed like the rest of us while avoiding the most important goal that would have materialized his concept - embracing their rarity.

Go ahead and skip this film. Go on, skip it.

Wow. I have been long deprived with some great and creative TV writings since the Gilmore Girls, the Office, Love craft country, etc... The acting and creative writing for this show is gold! Hopefully the show doesn't turn into a bunch of fillers and lazy writing the other shows often opt for. Evil is definitely worth a watch and worth getting renewed for more seasons! And I understand that 13 episode is a clever number but adding more episodes would also be great :)

Lame: since the first episode was nothing but sex. It would have been more interesting seeing 1920s America in a different lens that we are most unfamiliar with. But of course, this had to glamorize and only focus on Hollywood in the 1920s. Bleh, it took me one watch a reading through the synopsis of this Netflix original and I pretty much was able to sum up the entire series watching the first episode. Save your time for a better show. Lastly, a bunch of hot hollywood stars/celebs and that's it..

This was unnecessarily a long, winded, pointless film - it's boring. The main character is a compulsive gambler (ok, and...?) 🙄 He also dies at the end even though he won his last gamble. I will admit, the acting from all actors and actresses are not bad but the direction of the story is like a run on sentence. The film felt dragged on and I honestly think this film could have made its point in a shorter amount of time.

Great film. No spoilers. The story isn’t necessarily completely about supernatural horrors and the dark humor is disarming (definitely common with great asian horror formulas) which keeps the viewers on the edge of our seat until the end. Some parts seems unnecessary and dragged on, but it is effective with the whole story and great ending. This will definitely be a cult classic 🥂

This show is not all that good. Great casts (actors) but the plots are so boring. I have yet to not fall asleep on a single episode of the 10 episodes they have already aired. I've only been able to watch up to the third episode and I still feel like this is just the same desperate spin of Desperate Housewives with a new title (a marketing exercise?). Either way, the writing seems lazy. The dialogues (oh are there so many boring ones) and point of each episode truly seem desperate and trying very hard to make something out of a fart.

I’m uncertain what made me love this film after seeing it the first time that I had to watch it for a second time. Im quite the film snob but this film ensured its effectiveness and simple but classic story telling. The plot is beautifully formulated that it’s simple enough to thrill viewers in action. I think this film is under rated. Amazing performance since the actors truly captured the audience such as myself in feeling the thrill and anxiety. This is like the modern Jaws but the antagonists are gators and mother earth. 😳👀

The Hustle is the female version of the film Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with Steve Martin and Michael Caine. Great actresses and actors but The Hustle can definitely use improvement in the story line. I swear, the writers copied paste dirty rotten scoundrels’ story line, hired majority female casts, and slapped an edgy title and called it a day ...still worth the watch if you’re a fan of Rebel and Anne
