review by

Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) receives a visit from her Uncle Fester (Fred
Armisen), who as it transpires is on the run from the law, but who's able
to give her pointers where to find a secret book about monsters - and in
this book she learns that the monster that's roaming the premises is
actually a human who can turn into a monster but who's controlled by
somebody else. For whatever reason, Wednesday suspects her psychotherapist
Dr. Kinbott to be the person who controls the monster and confronts her
with her suspicion. However, soon after this Dr. Kinbott is killed by the
monster. Returning home, Wednesday finds her room has been searched, and
Thing, who was tasked with guarding her monster book, has been pinned to
the wall with a knife - Uncle Fester can revive Thing though. For some
reason, too, Wednesday is confinced that fellow student Xavier (Percy
Hynes White) is the monster, so she plants some evidence with him and has
him arrested by the sheriff (Jamie McShane). Then though she has a date
with local boy Tyler (Hunter Doohan), and when she kisses him she has a
vision that he is indeed the monster ... By this episode, Wednesday
has pretty much lost all credibility as a murder mystery, as the plot is
just too weakly constructed, suspects are just pulled out of a hat without
any real, credible explanations, and then bumped off by the monster as a
deus ex machina when they're no longer needed, just so they don't clutter
the story even more. Not even Jenna Ortega's still stellar performance can
save much anymore, especially since her shtick starts to feel repetitive.
