Now we know who's gonna be a cosplay hotness during Halloween season, lol.

[Andrew NDB]

Just saw the first episode. It's pretty good. I'll watch the rest.

[IndigoErth]

Watched the first 3 eps last night, pretty decent so far.

[newfan]

Think I've gotten through the first 4 eps, I like it so far, sat guessing who the good and bad people will turn out to be.

I like the casting, couldn't quite get with Gomez but that might just be me, early days yet.

I've only watched the first one, again, but right away I'm left assuming it's the guy who saved her. As in, he'll be who turns out to be the monster.

It's mostly the specter of Raul Julia. That's the gold standard to me. I don't care about the old animated stuff or whatever. Though what's there is fine. Gomez isn't really in it much.

Minor gripe: why put stitches all over Thing now? If he's organic, wouldn't it just heal and they'd come out?

I guess they just thought he would look cool.

There's about 5 characters that I think are shify, or they want us to think they are.. the actual monster could be one of 3 that I am thinking of.

Ehhh... I've had a few guesses, even potentially the coffee guy secretly being one of them, but currently leaning toward the one that can shapeshift. (Though I'll skip saying who for spoiler sake because I don't recall what ep that ability was revealed.)

Haha, I've been referring to him as the coffee guy too, it's staying even though I now know his name. Anyway yeah, he's one of my suspects, putting his dad in a difficult spot. Shapeshifter too for obvious reasons, not sure if she will turn out to be good or bad, like we are supposed to think she is bad.

Other out there guess

Spoiler:

Wednesday's ancestor, not sure if that all came up in the 3rd of 4th ep so I shoved it in a spolier. I also wonder if Richi's character is the ancetor of the witch hunter guy (I am awful with names) but this is all just me trying to guess things too early.

This show looks great, but we won't get to it here until we are done with 1899.....

Midway through ep 4 (started watching quite late and had to stop before falling asleep) and waiting for the turn of events with her. She started off as this very proper lady and all that, nothing seeming too special about her, but we learn early that she'd been a student, so what all she is and can do is being kept rather quiet other than that brief hint at this point. If she doesn't have some big reveal I'll be a little disappointed. lol

"Men like you don't have to worry about not being believed," "werewolf conversion therapy," eh... a certain meter is running a bit high 5 episodes in.

[Andrew NDB]

Finished it out. That was pretty great, overall. And that was an awesome season finale... except for like the last TWO minutes. That final two minutes undermined a lot of the excellent rest of the episode.

Also,

Spoiler:

the main villain is Christina Ricci. Essentially. And I was wrong about the guy who saved her in the first episode being the monster... it's the restaurant guy. Which I kind of figured going forward as the monster has his hair, more or less.

Not seeing or reading anything about this til now, and this is what I thought the show was going to be about... Ricci as an adult Wednesday. Missed opportunity for sure. Lol. I'm going to watch this today.

That is actually what I thought as well - and I was pretty interested in that. But still it looks entertaining enough - like "Harry Potter" but for emo kids.
