So Tim Burton is directing a live action Addams Family spinoff show for Netflix - WEDNESDAY

I'm enjoying the show well-enough.

Yeah it's predictable at times and it's not the best thing ever, but it's fun.

The whole thing is really built around Jenna Ortega and it's really tough for the rest to compare, but I think they shine enough as the show goes on.

 

Definitely gets stronger as it goes I think. I'm starting Episode 7 shortly.

 

I will say - I really wish there was more of the rest of the family.

I know it's Wednesday's show and the premise doesn't lend itself to it a whole lot, but I perk up a little bit more when Gomez and Morticia are on screen.

Let's see what you have to say after episode 7😏😉

The orchestral arrangements of Don't Stop and Nothing Else Matters in episode 3 were just as good as Paint It Black in 1. Why aren't these on the soundtrack release?

I don't dislike this Elfman as much as the other previous scores by him. The theme, after two hours gets to you and there are some very brilliantly Elfman type pieces all the way.

 

I will never agree with Thor but maybe a nice 50 minute album here would do the trick - there is just too much content to handle and I don't have time to edit!

Yesss!!! Although, the Metallica cover isn't on here. That's a shame

 

 

 

Awesome! At least we're getting some of it. Maybe they just couldn't clear Metallica for release.

Update: The Metallica cover is pre-existing music. Not made for the show.

It was done by a Finnish band!

The score is actually really good in the show. The opening titles are the usual synth farty post-Jablonski stuff but the rest of the score is beautifully traditionally Elfmanesque - too busy, always melodic, a bit annoying, but invariably beautiful.

Finished the show. I loved it. Great all the way through, woth some fun twist (some of which I saw coming)

Again Ortega is fantastic as Wednesday!!

 

 

See chronological order of the album below.

I have added the four cover tracks to my original post.

And I put Scorpion Flashback in the wrong place so that is as it should be as well now.

This show is clearly not for me so I can’t say anything about it as a piece of art, but it is hugely important that it’s apparently a massive hit on Netflix.  I’d never have predicted it but Wednesday is Tim Burton’s big comeback in the business.  His first unqualified HIT since Alice in Wonderland 12 years ago after a string of films that were either failures or did just mediocre business.

 

Tim Burton™ the monetizable brand is back baybeee!  $$$

We finished this season last night. It was a lot better than I had anticipated. Definitely the best thing Burton has done in a while. Enjoyed Elfman’s theme. No other cues really stood out though. Anyone have a 30-40 minute playlist with the highlights?

We watched episode 5 yesterday.  Such a filler episode!

 

While it was great to see Zeta Jones as Morticia and Guzman as Gomez (and Pugsly was good too!), the story they wrote for them to have here was so boring and unrelated to the main story!  You knew they were gonna be innocent the whole time so it was just felt so dragged out.
