It was on Wednesday that has just disappeared that, above all, the most popular series of Netflix of all time, Wednesdayreturned for its broadcast of season 2.. Well, the first four episodes found themselves in a version of the first part, with the second plot of episodes due on September 3.

Can you believe that season one was broadcast for more than 1.7 billion hours? Since the season was only eight episodes, it is an almost unfathomable audience of 252 million people. You can see why Netflix is one of the best streaming services on this basis.

I was looking forward to WednesdayRelease of season 2 of the season all week, but has so far been to catch the last in the series. I am half disappointed that Netflix took the planned two -part version, because I find that other weekly streamers leave a more attractive way of cliffhanger in old school.

What Wednesday?

Wednesday is ultimately a spin-off of The Addams family – Originally a cartoon published by Charles Addams for decades since the 1930s, but made popular in the 1990s by the cinematic film adaptation of Tim Burton.

His inheritance endured – because Burton is always attached to Wednesday series. Perhaps this is part of the reason for his cult status, as the other menagerie of Burton films include Mars attack!,, Charlie and the chocolate factory (2005), Sweeney Todd,, Alice in Wonderland (2010), and Star (both the original of 1988 and its suite in 2024), among others.

WednesdayHowever, concerns the daughter of the Addams, on Wednesday holders, played by Jenna Ortega, who is reluctantly sent to school at Nevermore Academy. It is quickly wrapped in all kinds of events, however, trying to solve a mystery that has deeper roots that they do not appear.

While Wednesday Kiss the style of the ADDAMS Originals and the Gothic turn of Burton, he also manages to tighten some lightness and comedy among darkness. It is not one for children, but it is not Foreign things horror levels.

Speaking of Foreign thingsThe fourth season of this successful program is actually the one to accumulate the most hours viewed on Netflix, with 1.8 billion in total. However, this comes more than double the execution of the season compared to WednesdayFirst season, with 140 million viewers capturing the scary show in comparison.

Interestingly, the praise of criticism for Wednesday varied. The site of the score aggregator, Rotten Tomatoes, quotes the note of criticism at only 73% for the first season – good, but not the best that we have ever seen. Season 2, however, should be a larger matter – making 82% so far (which could change with the release of part 2 in September).

I think it was really the fans who loved the series, however, with higher scores – 86% and 85% in the first and second seasons – showing love for Ortega on Wednesday as a character. The wonderfully integrated special effects of Walking Hand, Thing, always add to fun levels too.

So if you haven’t seen Wednesday However, then you might be one of the rare. I can recommend it as one of Burton’s best outings in recent years. Season 2 looks like a stellar start, with more to come – so it is not surprising that it is the new N ° 1 of Netflix this week, in what could prove to be even greater success in the last season.
