Season 1 Was Viewed By 252 Million People: Season 2 Shocks Netflix Viewers Again
Wednesday season 2 captivates Netflix with its dark style and impressive performances.
Fans of Wednesday on Netflix are in for a treat. The second season of the fantasy series is dominating the Netflix Top 10, and the reception is even better than that of season 1.
Wednesday, written and directed under the guidance of Tim Burton, is described by Netflix using words like Chilling, Imaginative, and Dark comedy. The main roles are played by Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Emma Myers, and Christina Ricci.
Season 1 was a massive success: in the first 91 days, the series attracted no less than 252.1 million viewers and spent 20 weeks in the Global Top 10; in 93 countries, the debut season reached the Top 10. The criticism of season 2 is predominantly positive: the Rotten Tomatoes score rose from 73% for season 1 to 82% for season 2.
The Critics Consensus on Rotten Tomatoes states that the season has "a clever approach" by "showing more of the entire Addams clan". Jenna Ortega and Burton's visual style, in particular, are praised.
However, not everyone is positive. "The absent attention to detail beyond what’s stylish, combined with the neat-and-tidy aesthetic mandated for broadly appealing teen dramas, puts the focus back on what Season 2 is trying to say, which isn’t much," says Ben Travers of IndieWire. If you enjoy Wednesday, season 2 is now available on Netflix.
The synopsis: When Wednesday returns to Nevermore Academy, nothing is as she expected. She suddenly finds herself in the spotlight, must deal with new enemies, and must solve mysteries that go far beyond the realm of normal, all while confronting family conflicts and sinister secrets.
