3 spellbinding dark mystery shows like ‘Wednesday’
Woefully twisted shows that Wednesday Addams would binge-watch, you should too
Wednesday Season 2 kept people on the edge of their seats, biting their nails, and anticipating Netflix’s macabre queen’s return for part two of the second season.
Though, until you wait for Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday return, here are a trio of Netflix series that the deadpan teen of the Addams Family would love to binge-watch.
A Good Girl's Guide to Murder
Writer Holly Jackson’s book series adaptation, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, stars Wednesday’s own Enid, Emma Myers.
Here she portrays Pip Fitz-Amobi, a British high schooler who investigates the unexplained disappearance of local girl Andie Bell (India Lillie Davies) five years ago.
Although Andie's boyfriend was accused at the time, he never got the chance to defend himself.
So, Pip partners with the accused boy’s brother to unveil the truth, digging into a murder mystery like Netflix’s very own mischievous character, Wednesday.
Stranger Things
A twisted sci-fi horror series with hair-raising mysteries, Stranger Things also deals with themes of friendship, a notion Wednesday Addams prefers to repel.
It starts when a 12-year-old Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) goes missing; his best friends Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo), and Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin) set out to find him.
Instead, they encounter a supernaturally psychic girl, Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown).
The themes of the series deal with an alternate dimension, a human experimentation facility, and some seriously scary creatures, a few of the bizarre mysteries the Hawkins crew uncover.
The Umbrella Academy
Witty and morbid, Wednesday would love diving into the lives of these seven adopted siblings of the Umbrella Academy with superpowers.
However, it focuses on what vexed Wednesday the most: the closure of the family.
The seven superhero children were trained by eccentric billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore) to become a teen crime-fighting team.
However, as their father dies, the siblings who have grown apart reunite for his funeral only to discover that a global apocalypse is upon them.
They must come together to unveil Hargreeves’ secrets and save the world.
