Wednesday’s second debuted back in August with just four episodes. The final four drop today on Netflix, providing a fun conclusion to the various storylines introduced in Part 1, and setting up what appears to be a totally new direction for Season 3.

Season 2 has been an excellent sophomore outing for Jenna Ortega’s Addams Family spinoff. The only complaint I have is Netflix’s decision to release the season in two parts. The first half of the season built up a lot of momentum and then came to a screeching halt. The second half ties up all the loose ends admirably, but making fans wait a month between the two was pointless, especially after the three year wait between seasons.

Fortunately, these last four episodes are excellent. Not only does Jenna Ortega shine as the stony-faced protagonist, her fellow cast-members get a chance to spread their wings. The MVP award goes to Emma Myers who plays Wednesday’s roommate and best friend, Enid Sinclair. Episode 6 has a fun “Freaky Friday” type setup that gives both Ortega and Myers the opportunity to try on a totally new persona. It’s the most fun I’ve had with the show up to this point, and clocks in at over an hour. Truly delightful television.

Season 2, Part 1 saw Wednesday return to Nevermore Academy along with her younger brother, Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez). Some familiar faces return, including the Siren, Bianca Barclay (Joy Sunday) and the Gorgon, Ajax (Georgie Farmer). There are new students as well. Agnes (Evie Templeton) plays an even bigger role in Part 2, using her powers of invisibility in both helpful and obnoxious ways. Several of the characters from Part 1 snuffed it, of course, and more meet their maker in Part 2. I’m not sure what the body count is, but it continues to pile up throughout the season.
