Glad you liked it, I also hope they maintain consistency for the fans
One of my favorite articles at the time was “best lines from Wednesday Addams,” because of the one-liner puns and jokes from a demented, spooky character point of view. If they stay true to the character, I am looking forward to it. I actually enjoyed Season 1 and I do not have the patience to watch many shows and movies.
Enjoyed NeverMore Academy more than I thought I would.
