November Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss23 of 31
"Wednesday" | Series Premieres on Netflix on Wednesday, Nov. 23
Plot: Wednesday Addams attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore.
Our Take: Jenna Ortega is in the midst of a horror moment after key roles in Ti West's X and in the most recent Scream installment. In this "Addams Family" spin-off, Ortega edges into dark comedy with the help of the master of the quirky macabre, Tim Burton. Those two names alone make this a must-see, but the supporting cast is altogether irresistable, including Christina Ricci, Fred Armisen, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Gwendoline Christie, and Thora Birch. — James
