This Wednesday review contains no spoilers.
The Addams Family is iconic. Created by Chas Addams, the single panel cartoons debuted in 1938 in The New Yorker magazine. Director Tim Burton is an obvious fanboy, eager to put his unique spin on the family dynamic. The Netflix series Wednesday is an original spinoff. Jenna Ortega plays Wednesday Addams without much family support, the way the character prefers it.

Then it’s a one-way ticket to Nevermore Academy, a place which encourages artful dodgers.

NBC has shown a modest amount of interest in digital video production, and once its new competition concludes, The Peacock will get to work on its first original web series. NBC has shared five pilots on YouTube, and the one that receives the most votes from viewers will receive a full digital series order.
The five pilots are all part of NBC Playground, a talent search that recently awarded TV pilots to its two winners. The shows vying for the digital series spot are all finalists in the Playground program, having outlasted a pool of more than 2,100 applicants.
So what are the competing pilots like? For the most part, they all adopt the standard web series starting point of “young people trying to make it in the big city.” The most unique plot synopsis within the group belongs to Wolfgirl, which stars Melissa Hunter (the creator of the web series...

Back in 2013, we pointed some of you to an awesome web series on YouTube called Adult Wednesday Addams. The first season consisted of 6 episodes that were released weekly. After concluding Season 1, comedian Melissa Hunter, who plays Adult Wednesday, must have got lost in the Bermuda Triangle (she didn’t, she was trying to raise funds) as Adult Wednesday fans waited for new episodes. Last month, subscribers received a gift of Episode 1 of Season 2!
