With the funny gimmick, Netflix wanted to promote its new series “Wednesday”.
The horror series is currently extremely popular worldwide and has already been watched for 341 million hours (!). With that, the series strikes Stranger things of the throne as the most watched English-language Netflix series within the first month after broadcast.
SerieTotaal reviewer Ruby Dijk was also very excited about the new Addams Family series. For that, she gave the film 5 stars.
She said: “Over the years, many creators have ventured into the wacky characters and their macabre surroundings, but not many have managed to bring this world to life like the creators of ‘Wednesday’, the new series which quickly rose to the top of the list of most viewed Netflix content has been added.”
