We discuss 10 TV Shows like the popular Netflix series Wednesday that you must watch.

In this series, Wednesday is up to her destructive ways as she protects her brother Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez) from bullies at school. Now, the Addamses have been integrated into society for a while. They have been at a regular middle school, and Wednesday hasn’t been the most approachable.

By defending her brother, she gets expelled and is sent to Nevermore Academy. The catalyst for Wednesday’s story is her connection with her mother Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones). She doesn’t want to be like her at all, and now by going to the school she graduated from, she wants nothing to do with her legacy.

This series explores Wednesday’s individuality and tough exterior. As each episode passes, she becomes softer because she begins caring for her friends around her. She does understand that it’s important for her to make friends, but she remains guarded.

Through the mind of Tim Burton comes an obscure little show that could only have worked with him behind the camera. The series on this list all tap into the supernatural and have incredible world-building throughout. From monsters of the week to solving mysteries and also exploring one’s individuality, they all make for compelling shows.

The banter between the characters makes this entertaining, and they also grow closer together because of the situation at hand.

Even though it sounds straightforward, there are many characters introduced that affect Dream.
