The first episode of Netflix’s Wednesday sets the stage for the show around the oldest child of the Addams family heading off to a private boarding school after getting in trouble at her latest high school for the attempted murder of the several students in the school pool. While the opening scenes certainly provide a vivid introduction to Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), the first episode doesn’t every really explore why Gozmez (Luis Guzmán) and Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) kept trying to put their daughter in regular public schools (or how she’s stayed out of jail). Now headed to the private school where her parents met, it doesn’t take long before Wednesday attempts her first escape. However, she will make some discoveries that lead to reasons to stick around.

Taking a few good-natured jabs at foodie culture and the cult-like culture inside a chef’s kitchen, The Menu offers us a look into an exclusive dining experience in a dark comedy that may not always work as well as intended but is so damn bizarre it’s certainly not easily forgettable.
