Not sure what to think of this. I don't understand the casting of Luis Guzman as Gomez. He seems a bit old to be playing the character, doesn't particularly have the suave sophistication of Gomez or the smooth good looks.

Tim Burton is an absolutely legendary director, so who am I to say he won't prove me wrong. Not so sure I'm going to be crazy about this one though. I may be a bit biased because of how big of a celebrity crush that I used to have on Christina Ricci, lol.

Ya Guzman as Gomez is what first got my attention. Will be interesting to see how it works out. Don't mind seeing CZJ in those dresses either though lol

Raul Julia will always be my favorite Gomez Addams.

@Blais For Smythe that is a cartoon though and he wasn't even technically "Gomez" back then, he was never given a name until the first show in the 60s. Every live-action depiction of him is suave, smooth, and generally good looking.

Raul Julia will always be my favorite Gomez Addams.

The actor playing him is a good character actor but he does not have what Julia had with Gomaz

Raul Julia will always be my favorite Gomez Addams.

That guy was one of the most talented actors of all time in my opinion.

Looks like she will be going to school with similar type people? Not sure how I feel about that.

Seems to be quite similar.

"I like stabbing" That is definitely Wednesday's MO. I had no interest in the show before but seeing the trailer I now have. I read Burton has directed 4 episodes and that was apparent in the trailer.

 

[Jussi]

This looks really good.

I assumed that this was coming out this month, so I was surprised to discover just now that it it's set for Nov 23rd. I looked up the 1991 and 1993 movies, though, and they were both released at the end of November, as well, so it seems like Netflix decided to go with franchise tradition. Maybe they also figure that releasing it over a "family holiday" like Thanksgiving, instead of during "spooky season," will convince more families to watch.

Huge fan of Jenna Ortega. She's without question the biggest up and coming breakout actress in horror right now. Wasn't a big fan of the recent Scream reboot, but she was hands down the best thing in that entire movie and was fantastic in Ti West's X. She's also the single shining moment in the awful Foo Fighters horror movie Studio 666 with just a tiny role in the beginning. Her facial expressions in X capturing sheer terror - wow. As convincing as anything I've seen before on screen in depicting this with conviction and poise. Google her movie stills from that film to see what I'm talking about if you haven't seen it yet. Will check out anything she's a part of at this point with how talented of an actress she is. The very definition of a young actress embracing her fondness for horror and making her mark in the industry in a huge way. Terrific performance in The Fallout from her as well. Make a note to check out her other works to date. Much like Rebecca Hall in The Night House, Jenna seems to often make nearly everything she stars in way better with her performances.

I watched the first two episodes. So far, it isn't as stylish or charming as I expected from Burton and the franchise. It seems strongly influenced by Harry Potter and is practically Wednesday at Hogwarts, but without the wonder or a lead that's charismatic, sympathetic and likable. It also feels aimed more at younger audiences who enjoy supernatural teen dramas and mysteries than at older fans of the franchise. I'll keep watching, but it hasn't grabbed me so far.

 

[DingerMcSlapshot]

It's OK but kind of simple had the plot figured out halfway through the 2nd episode.

 

[Hammettf2b]

Just finished the 8 episodes and absolutely loved it. Ortega kills it as the character

 

[mrmovies779]

Ortega was fantastic.I absolutely enjoyed it very much and do hope it is picked up for another season

I loved the tons of Easter eggs too

 

[Fripp]

Loving this so far. Hitting just the right tone for me.

 

[eXile3]

The writing and story weren’t great but Ortega’s acting and Burton’s directing are enough to carry it.

I recognized this immediately as it started playing in an episode (and rushed to the marketplace):
