Netflix’s ‘Wednesday’ viewers left disappointed with ‘pointless’ moment in new series; Details here

Netflix users criticised a “pointless” scene in the latest supernatural horror-comedy web series Wednesday. The new series is a prequel to Addams Family, starring Jenna Ortega, who is playing the lead role of Wednesday Addams, a 16-year-old girl having psychic powers.

Why are Netflix users condemning a scene on Wednesday?

The fans are disappointed with a death scene of a crucial character in the series. In the concluding episode, Nevermore Academy principal Larissa Weems, played by Gwendoline Christie, was killed by Marilyn Thornhill, portrayed by Christina Ricci. Weems, the principal of Nevermore Academy, gets killed by Thornhill when her true identity is revealed.

Many viewers think that the death of Christie was pointless. Some said it was anticlimactic, while others asked whether there were any chances of her returning in Wednesday Season 2. After seeing the disappointment of the Netflix users, the writers Alfred Gough & Miles Millar told a magazine Variety that Christie’s character was unique, and she was only roped in for that concluding part.



Regarding reception, Wednesday has gathered mostly positive reviews, and critics have praised the performance of Jenna Ortega. It currently holds the record for most hours viewed English language Netflix series in a week, registering a whopping 341.2 million hours for the first week.
