Wednesday season 2 is even more thrilling – but there’s one crucial oversight
Murder, mystery and mayhem abound.

This review is based on Wednesday season 2 part 1.
In the two plus years since we last saw Wednesday Addams, she’s had a summer for the books.
The grisly Netflix series opened in suitably shocking fashion back in 2022, with our antiheroine setting piranhas on her high school’s swim team bullies.
The cold open for season 2, which has been diced into a two-parter with the first four episodes out today, once again shows that Wednesday (Jenna Ortega, as unblinkingly good as ever) is never one to wait for the adults to get the job done.
In episode one, Haley Joel Osment makes his debut in a wacky guest role as the Kansas City Scalper serial killer, who Wednesday allows to capture her so she can use his MO – clue’s in the name – against him.
