Is Wednesday Crushing Netflix's Streaming Numbers...?

The Addams Family is a nearly century-old property that has endured the test of time due to its satirical inversion of American family values, which was first conceived by Charles Addams in 1938. The Addams Family, which made its debut at the end of the 1930s in The New Yorker, has been adapted for both film and television multiple times. The Addams Family television series from 1964 and Addams Family Values, two live-action movies from the 1990s, are the most well-known incarnations. Since then, The Addams Family has been adapted a number of times, but Netflix's Wednesday is the most well-known version.

To say that Wednesday is a huge hit with viewers all across the world would be an understatement. This most recent entry into The Addams Family franchise is definitely connecting with audiences on a much deeper level than satirical amusement, as evidenced by the 341 million hours of views it garnered in its first week alone. What the new program is doing differently to perform as well as it does raises the question of why. There are a few more things the new adolescent drama has going for it, aside from the fact that Wednesday expertly adapts the eponymous heroine for a new generation without deviating too much from the source material.
