Addams Family Values, itself arguably the best Addams Family movie, provides direct inspiration for a storyline in the first half of Wednesday season 2.

Jenna Ortega's best moment in Wednesday season 2 (so far) gives both the actor and her character a chance to address their concerns about the show around them.

The latest season features a host of eccentric new characters in addition to returning old ones. But Wednesday's greatest joy is the expanded emphasis given to Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams.
