When we first met Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) in season 1 of the Tim Burton-directed Netflix fantasy-comedy, I wasn't sure what the show wanted to do with her character – and I don’t think showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar were quite sure yet, either. The first four episodes of Wednesday season 2, however, reintroduce us to a fully realized, fleshed-out Wednesday who, despite being the dreariest girl around, is so easy to root for.
After saving Nevermore Academy from an undead pilgrim and getting the murderous Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan) committed to an asylum (with the help of her Outcast cohort) in the season 1 finale, Wednesday willingly returns to campus in order to start a brand new semester – this time with the entire Addams family clan in tow.
