‘Wednesday’ Netflix Series Review - You Don’t Wanna Miss This

We get introduced to the character of Wednesday by an incident that happened in her school. Some boys targeted her brother, and to take revenge on them, she left Piranhas in the pool while they were in it. One boy lost her testicle, and Wednesday’s parents were forced to change her school. Nevermore Boarding School was attended by her parents and they thought that she can find it more comforting as this was a perfect place for the outcasts.

Wednesday didn’t share a good relationship with her mother. Nevermore wasn’t a normal school. It was a place where werewolves, vampires, mermaids, and other species came to study. The most attractive thing about Wednesday apart from her intelligence is her vocabulary. She speaks elite English, giving references that most find difficult to interpret. Besides being physically and mentally strong, she devotes her time to writing and now she has completed three novels. Nobody should come in her path because that would mean being killed. She doesn't let others define her and knows what she has to do. Nothing can distract her if she has put her mind on something. You won't get enough of this series, and that’s certain.

After spending a few days at the school, she comes across various mysterious things like the disappearance of her classmate Rowan, a giant monster being on the loose, hidden libraries, secret societies, and how she was going to become a threat to the school. Putting on her detective hat, she went on to investigate the matter. Wednesday gets visions when she touches objects or people, and these visions are futuristic. Many secrets are hidden in Nevermore, and Wednesday is determined to get to the bottom of them

With eight episodes and a duration of 45 minutes each, this series is a complete addiction. You won’t like being disturbed or even missing a single scene. Jenna Ortega plays the character of Wednesday, and she has done a great job. The girl is full of potential, and the Wednesday series gave her a chance to explore that. This story will make you crave more. Wednesday’s adventures are intriguing, and looking at how this young girl has a mind of her own, makes us want to introspect our own decisions. 

This mind-capturing and mind-blowing series deserve multiple seasons in the future. Packed with a stelling cast, the plot is filled with twists, and enthralling characters, Wednesday becomes a must-watch for the audience. Nevermore Boarding School has a world of its own through which the audience will lose the touch and find themselves lost in it. Wednesday found a place suitable for a girl of a caliber like hers in this school because of the adventures she was on. I’m in complete awe of the series, and I’ll watch it again and keep on checking for any updates about the next season.

Final Score – [8.5/10]
