Might as well talk about this before everyone moves on, as is the short shelf-life of Streaming Hits these days!
After setting up about 16 Subplots in the first 4 Episodes, how do things wrap up in...
New threats.Old faces.
Fester appearing in 1 Episode and disappearing.
Wednesday is not in a great place as the 2nd half of the Season begins.
Once she recovers, she continues to work the case.

Now there are new angles and she has to work with the Lady from Ab Fab (aka Grandma).
She's not a kooky lady who torments people who ended up at the wrong House.
A familiar Hyde is back on the loose, but he's not alone.

When family gets involved with Monsters, nothing good comes out of it.
Meanwhile, Steve Buscemi- as the new Head of Nevermore Academy- is working his own angle(s).

He's here to fill out the B and C-Plots nicely.
Grandma Addams becomes a key player in the intertwining Plots.

There's a whole thing with Mothers and Daughters not getting along.
It is not the least bit subtle (while also being very effective).
Enid has her own Subplots, what with a romance one (taking the place of Wednesday's love triangle in Season 1) and her Werewolf Heritage coming strongly into play.

Can Billie Piper- who was ironically a Frankenstein creation on Penny Dreadful- help her?
Can she help herself?
This is far too soon for SPOILERS (plus what is TikTok for?), so to find out what happens, Stream the Show now.
A strong conclusion to the Season, quirks, twists and all.

The best thing about the Show is that there is plenty going on.
If you're not interested in Wednesday's main Plot, there's Enid's, the Dean's and others.
The trade-off, however, is that it also means that you may have to take notes to keep track of things, especially if you don't binge it.
I'm that guy- the one who spaces out these Shows to enjoy them in chunks. Sorry?
If you watch the Episodes with, for instance, a two-day separation, it might take a moment to recap yourself. The Show does help, to be fair.
A big thing here is that ever-present balance of Wednesday being a smart planner who isn't usually caught off guard with her also being vulnerable.
Ortega really pulls this off with subtle surprise and dismay.

Other than my general concern that people will eventually associate The Addams Family with Tim Burton and not Bary Sonnefeld, I highly recommend the Show- now complete.
