the trailer def caught my attention.

I will probably binge it when it comes out.

Is this something that could get picked up or is it one and done?

[masterofmystery]

can easily go on for seasons, the addams family has so much going on

[violue]

my biggest exposure to the addams family was the 90s movies and despite the father being named GOMEZ and the actor being named RAUL JULIA, my brain defaulted them all to white until talk about this new series started

[violue]

*when I was a kid, i tended to assume light skin = white. for a time i thought my own father was white :X

Goth nerd here, with the Addams info: The original cartoon didn't give any of them first names. When the OG tv series happened the cartoonist was asked for a first name for the father and he suggested Gomez or Repelli. John Astin (the actor who played him in the show) decided on Gomez and that he was from a Castillian Spanish family. So, going by that Gomez is not Latino, but Spanish. However, personally I think both Astin and Raul Julia were fantastic (and very different!) Gomezes, and it's weird that anyone would have a problem with a Latino actor playing him. All that I care about it whether Gomez and Tish have magical chemistry with each other.

Yup. As long as they have chemistry I’m good. Their relationship is everything,

[masterofmystery]

i'm gonna assume a near-halloween drop given the theme, which is annoyingly two months away, sigh

jenny looks great, i'm excited. the bar's so high with christina but she'll bring her own (plus she's playing an older version anyway so that makes a huge difference)

still wondering about uncle fester though

[masterofmystery]

[glitterslugs]

[ginainabottle]

Ugh, I'm so fucking SOLD and I'm 99% sure I'll end up full on stanning Jenna after this. The way I'm rooting for this girl, man, she's too precious 💜
