It is immediately clear thatWednesdayis quite different frompastAddams Familyprojects.

For the first time ever,Wednesdayfocuses solely on the Addams' teenage daughter.

Of course, this isn’t meant to disappoint fans, but instead, has a more purposeful design.

As a result, Wednesday becomes a much stronger and more interesting character.

Furthermore, it is not as thoughWednesdaycompletely overlooks the other Addams.

Arguably, the show uses them in a very smart and meaningful way.

Similarly, Wednesday only attends Nevermore after being expelled from her old school for retaliating against Pugsley’s bullies.

In the past, movies like 1991’sThe Addams Familywere geared towards comedy and silliness.

Because ofWednesday’schange in genre, the show caters to a slightly different audience.

The easy answer is that she has always been a compelling character.

Even after one season,Wednesdayhas already set up a captivating storyline for its protagonist.

Her determination and her pessimistic outlook on life prevents her from forming positive connections with people.
