Hello Hive moviegoers! Today I'm here to tell you about the most recent Netflix production, the series whose name is in the title and which I know we might have an idea of what it's about.
As I had already mentioned, Wednesday is a recent series (November 23rd of this year to be exact), which tells us about the school/family life of the eldest daughter of the Addams family, which in case you don't know, is one of the most iconic families of all cinema, since their lifestyle and their way of seeing things, makes them stand out from the rest.
Irony, black humor and strangeness are the "qualities" that this family possesses, and therefore, Wednesday is not exempt from possessing them.
The premise of the series is clear, because what it wants to show mainly is the weirdness itself and how unaccustomed we are to the non-traditional and what is not "well seen". It should also be noted that this review contains SPOILERS!
Having said that, let's get started....
The beginning of the series shows us Wednesday in an ordinary school where she is seen as a freak. It's something she doesn't really care about, but it doesn't take long for it to become a problem for her, since when she defends her brother Pericles from some kids who played a prank on him, she is expelled from school because she makes an attempt on the life of one of them.
Wednesday does not want to live with common people of her age, because socializing is not her thing, and for that reason she has been in charge of sabotaging herself in every school she attends; that is why her parents (Morticia and Homer Addams) decide to enroll her in a kind of boarding school for different kids, weird and with special "talents".
In this new school, Wednesday is forced to live with a girl named Enid, who is the opposite of her, because she loves the color pink, loves to socialize and in my opinion is a very sweet girl.
As is to be expected, Wednesday does not feel at ease in her new school, as she believes that her parents are doing it to torture her and to create an exact copy of them, which makes her very angry and she decides to undertake her escape plan.
While trying to escape she meets Tyler, a "normie" boy who works in a cafeteria and who offers to help her escape, but, unfortunately for her, at that very moment she has an altercation with some boys and is discovered by the school principal.
Wednesday tries to escape again with Tyler's help, but at the moment of fleeing, she realizes that something strange is happening in the forest and decides to go to inspect. When she gets to the forest she has a vision (it is something very frequent in her) and tries to save Rowan, one of her companions from a tragedy, but unfortunately she does not succeed because he only wanted to kill her because of a strange "prophecy".
At the moment when the young man uses telekinesis to control her, a kind of monster appears and "saves" her. Because of this, Merlina changes her mind and decides to continue at the school, to see what really happens there.
So far the review of the first chapter of MERLINA, very soon I will be uploading the review of each of the chapters, I hope you enjoy the review. Thank you very much for reading and watching.
