I couldn't resist. XD

Well, here we are people. Two years after we got the hit Netflix series Wednesday, we're back with a second season. Given how much of a smash hit the first series was, of course we got a Season 2. You'd have to be as crazy as Uncle Fester not to continue the show!

Unless you've been living in a cave all your life, chances are you're quite familiar with Netflix's recent phenomenon, Wednesday. Based on the popular Addams Family characters created by the late Charles Addams and directed by acclaimed movie director Tim Burton (yes really), the show was released on Netflix in 2022 and it took the world by storm. Audiences fell in love with the show for its darkly comedic tone, compelling murder mystery plot-line, spellbinding performances by the cast with Jenna Ortega as Wednesday getting particularly high praise, fantastic cinematography and much more. The show has become a pop-culture hit with wads of merchandise made and available in stores everywhere you look and the "Wednesday dance" scene became a viral sensation over on TikTok. To say this show was a hit is putting it very mildly to say the least.

So inevitably, the show continued and here we are with Season 2. Does this live up to the pop-culture giant that the first season became? Or will Wednesday have to investigate why this season ended up so bad? Let's dig up the grave and peer inside the coffin for answers...

Section 1: The Writing

Continuing from last time, Season 2 sees Wednesday Addams return to Nevermore Academy after summer break and just like before, she ends up ravelled up in conspiracies, a murder mystery and a stalker who seems to have less than noble intentions for her and it's up to her to uncover these mysteries, especially since a psychic vision warns her that Enid Sinclair, one of her closest friends, will die because of her...

Now on paper, the plot of this season sounds really interesting and gripping. But in execution it...kinda fumbled I'm sorry to say. The biggest problem this season has is that THERE'S TOO MUCH PLOT! Seriously, it feels like there are way too many cooks in the kitchen, because there is just far too many plot lines happening at once in this season. In fact, let's make a list of all the plots this season has!

1: Wednesday trying to prevent Enid's death.

2: A hidden conspiracy regarding Willow Hill.

3: Isaac Night's resurrection.

4: Principal Dort trying to extort money from Hester Frump and is blackmailing Bianca to help him.

5: Wednesday and Morticia's relationship becoming estranged and Hester tries to take advantage of it.

6: Wednesday has a stalker and she has to find out who it is.

7: Enid's love triangle with Ajax and Bruno.

8: Pugsley trying to fit into Nevermore.

9: Tyler's return and the reveal his mother is alive.

There's a total of nine different plots running concurrently in this season, and there's no need for it! Because of this, you get some plots that end rather abruptly like the stalker plotline, the estranged Addams family plotline or the avian murderer and then you have plots like Principal Dort's manipulation scheme where you question why they didn't save it for Season 3 because it had very little, if anything to do with the main plot of Season 2. Had I written this season, I would've saved Plots 4 and 5 for Season 3, abandoned Plot 7 entirely and kept the rest of it. That I think would've made for a better paced season and allowed some of these plotlines more time to breathe, have better build up like Enid turning out to be an Alpha or have a more satisfying conclusion. The Principal Dort plotline especially felt very poorly setup because it builds on a background detail from Season 1 (Bianca's mum being in a cult) that wasn't important back then. We've never seen Morning Song or seen anything they've done, we've just been told about them, so the fact this cult we've only heard about suddenly ends up being important just felt like lazy writing if you ask me. Again, the Principal Dort plot should've been saved for later and Season 2 maybe could've actually introduced Morning Song to better set up his plotline for Season 3 instead of cramming it into this one.

And as I said, because there's too much plot here, the mysteries end as soon as they're set up. Who's Wednesday's stalker? Some random new kid that we've never seen before, not even Season 1 and that plotline ends in Episode 2. Who's the avian murder? We find that out in the fourth episode and the killer is promptly killed off at the end of episode 5. Why even have these mysteries if they're going to be brought to an end so quickly? It's like the writers didn't understand what we liked about the first season and so they didn't put in that much effort into the mystery aspect this time around, thus missing what made Season 1 work so well.

And don't get me started on how dumb the stalker comes off as. You see, in Episode 2 they kidnap Enid and Bruno and set up an elaborate Saw style death trap that Wednesday has to get them out of with some clues and riddles to help her out. The problem is that this plan is so ill-conceived and one of the clues is so impossible to figure out that Wednesday only figured it out via a chance conversation with Isadora Capri, who I assume had nothing to do with the stalker's scheme! So chances are if Wednesday hadn't talked to Capri about music and figured the clue out as a result, Enid and Bruno could've died! I'm just saying, this plan could've gone horribly, horribly wrong and it's not even implied that the stalker had any plans to put a stop to their scheme in case Wednesday failed to save them! So two innocent students could've been killed because of this psycho's ill-conceived plot, and all because they wanted Wednesday's attention! And what's worse is that the show later tries to make them a sympathetic character and like we're supposed to feel sorry for them. Given this elaborate stunt they pulled off and what a creepy psycho they are, no, I'm not going to feel sorry for them at all! If anyone deserved to be slaughtered by a Hyde this season, it was that stalker!

Another annoying thing this season has is its propensity to have characters blame everything that goes wrong on Wednesday. This gets really egregious when they blame things on her that isn't even her fault. The body swap episode is one such example because Wednesday was doing just fine until Enid came in and messed everything up and yet the episode makes it out as if somehow it's her fault when ENID was the one who caused the body swap to happen! Then there's the fact Wednesday had a plan to deal with Tyler and then Morticia got in the way and foiled Wednesday's plan and then Wednesday is blamed for there being two Hydes on the loose. Like...how? If Morticia kept her pale nose out of Wednesday's business, then we'd have one less Hyde to deal with! Why is it nobody ever realizes that the reason things go wrong is because they won't stay out of Wednesday's way and let her get things done? Wednesday's the only one who can be arsed to get anything done around here and the reason things keep going wrong is because people WON'T STAY OUT OF HER F***ING WAY AND THEN HAVE THE BALLS TO ACT LIKE IT'S HER FAULT WHEN THINGS GO AWRY!!! I hope Season 3 will knock it off because it got pretty unbearable in this season.

And then there's the climax. While not bad, it rang a little hollow in the end because of the incredibly confusing decision to make Thing be the one that stops Isaac Night instead of Pugsley. I...I can't even wrap my head around this. Pugsley is the one who resurrected Isaac Night, he's responsible for this plot line happening in the first place, he gets kidnapped to be a part of Isaac's little plan and in the end...he isn't the one who defeats him? Why? If I was this show's editor and they gave me the scripts to proof read, my first note on the climax of Episode 8 would've said: "Why doesn't Pugsley Addams save the day in the end?"

I mean seriously, given he played such a huge part in Isaac's storyline and is the one who brought him back in the first place, he should've been the one to stop him. It's clear as crystal what the climax should've been: Isaac starts strangling Wednesday with her psychic powers and in a last minute attempt to save his sister, Pugsley strikes Isaac with lightning. The resulting strike causes his clockwork heart to stop ticking and thus kills him all over again. That's the climax the show should've been building up towards, and it just...doesn't happen. What a waste in my eyes. It'd be like if in Pokémon Horizons, they put so much emphasis on Roy catching the Black Rayquaza for so much of the show and making that his end goal he's working to achieve, but then Liko ends up catching the Black Rayquaza in the end, it just has you asking why involve a character so much in this one plotline if they're not the ones who end it? Oh and while we're on the subject of Isaac, why the hell did they have that stupid twist behind Thing being his right hand? That was dumb and unnecessary and all it did was allow Thing to steal Pugsley's thunder. I'm pretty sure people weren't that desperate to know Thing's origin story guys!

So yeah, this season's a complete disaster right? Actually...no. It has a lot of problems, yes, but it also does a lot of things right and was still interesting to watch, even if the plots didn't have the best conclusions.

While not all the plotlines are necessary or work well together, a majority of them do with mostly everything regarding the avian murderer, the Willow Hill conspiracy, Isaac Night's past and the Galpin family all coming together to form a whole picture that makes sense overall and you can tell that even if the plot is a little cluttered, it's not entirely messy and does piece together nicely. A lot of the world-building and lore especially feels carefully crafted and put together and as we unravel some of the twists, it all adds up in the end. Well, mostly. And while I say the mysteries themselves kind of end as quickly as they're set up, they are still pretty interesting and do keep you hooked until the end to figure everything out. I'm especially impressed they did a body swap episode and somehow made it important to the story. You'd think something like that would be filler, but no, it actually had a point and even helped to bring a conclusion to the plotline about Wednesday foreseeing Enid's death. That's pretty impressive to take a gimmicky idea like Wednesday and Enid swapping bodies and not make it filler.

Also, like with Season 1, the comedy is really strong here. There's plenty of dark humour to be found, as expected with The Addams Family and the dialogue is as sharp and witty as ever with a lot of hilarious, snappy one-liners and savage insults that really make one crack a smile every now and then. Naturally, Wednesday has all the best roasts here and it never gets old. I could watch this and Season 1 just for the one-liners alone because they're so good. Oh and remember the body swap episode I mentioned earlier? That's the funniest episode of the season and I don't think I need to explain why that is. The fact it's a body swap episode with Wednesday and Enid should tell you enough about why it's so funny.

I also like the overarching theme of secrecy that hangs over the story. As you watch, you'll notice that there's a lot of cases in the series where keeping secrets ends up having dire consequences. Character relations shift or bad things occur as a result of this secret keeping and it all fits in with how secret keeping can do more damage than good. This kind of commentary is especially relevant given how many people in recent years have had their lives destroyed and their careers torn to pieces because it turned out they had skeletons in their closet and should've been more honest about it, so it's good the writers are able to keep the show timely with relevant themes and commentary like this.

I like how the season does address some of the criticisms people had with the first season. There's no love triangle nonsense with Wednesday (instead that's give to Enid despite there being no reason for it), Xavier is thankfully absent this time around, we get to see more displays of the Outcast's abilities with Ajax especially getting to show off his Gorgon abilities and the Addams Family themselves have a drastically increased role where the first season more or less relegated them to guest stars. They actually have a big part in the story this time around with Morticia getting the lion's share of the story alongside Wednesday and Pugsley is even the main catalyst for Isaac Night's return. This in turn helps to make the show feel more like an Addams Family show instead of just making it all about Wednesday, which no doubt made a lot of fans happy.

And finally, the way the season ends provides a fantastic setup for Season 3 and I can't wait to see how things go from there. There's a lot of opportunities given what's been set up for the season and I'm curious to see what's next. While they could've set up Enid's part in Season 3 better, I still think they did well enough for getting us hyped for next time.

So yeah, Season 2 is a downgrade from last time with an overly convoluted, overly crowded plot that means a lot of the stories feels rushed or inconsequential, but it's not a complete mess as some of the plots do work well together, the world-building and lore is still interesting, it's still very funny and it does fix some of the problems from last time. If it just trimmed the fat a little instead of mistakenly believing that more plot equals a better season, it would've been fantastic. Instead, it was just good, which is a shame as it should've been better than good...

Section 2: The Characters

The cast are back, but are they as great as before? Let's take a look. Brace yourself as there's a lot of characters to talk about.

Naturally, we have to start with the headliner herself, Wednesday Addams (played by Jenna Ortega). Wednesday is her usual stoic, gloriously snarky self who does have a bit of a heart even if she doesn't show it much and as usual is the only one who gives a damn about solving the mysteries that surround her and Nevermore Academy. My biggest problem with her though is how stagnant her character is. Throughout the season she is constantly, CONSTANTLY being criticized and having people call her out of her flaws with how she often acts recklessly, doesn't think about others and seems to have a massive ego and yet not once does Wednesday ever take any of those criticisms onboard and just gives a sarcastic rebuttal. Granted, she is being criticized for things that aren't actually her fault (which I already expressed my annoyance about earlier), but it gets tiresome real quick when Wednesday just won't take the hint that she has flaws that need working on. The only real development her character gets is from the body swap episode where she grows a new appreciation for Enid, but that's about it. She does also have an arc about learning to appreciate her family more, but that plot line is completely inconsequential to the main story and should've been saved for a later season, not shoved into this one. Also it kind of feels recycled from last time since Wednesday already had an arc about learning not to be so closed off, so why did they repeat it again here? I hope Season 3 will do something with her character and stop making her so stagnant.

Next up is her schoolfriend Enid Sinclair (played by Emma Meyers). Enid's still bubbly and friendly as ever, but she also shows more of a desire to prove herself capable and independent, shown when she takes offence at Wednesday thinking she needs to be saved and how offended she is over the way Wednesday portrays the character that's meant to be her in her novel. While she gets frustrated over Wednesday's obsession with solving mysteries and such, she's still more than willing to rush to her aid and back her up when the situation calls for it, which shows how kind and devoted she is. A true friend if ever there was one. I also liked the scenes with her and Isadora Capri as it gave us more insight into how Werewolves work in this universe and gave her an adult figure who can best understand and relate to her situation. I really am curious what they'll do with Enid character next time after how Season 3 concluded. Speaking of, without spoiling, I do wish they'd set up her plot line for Season 3 a little better since it felt a bit out of nowhere.

We also have other students at Nevermore Academy making a comeback, most notably Bianca Barclay (played by Joy Sunday), Ajax Petropolus (played by Georgie Farmer) and Eugene Ottinger (played by Moosa Mostafa). Mercifully, we don't get the return of Xavier here, and all the better for it. Bianca is a key player in the Principal Dort storyline and while it's interesting we got more insight into her life and how her mother was in a cult, I feel the execution felt weaker than it should've since we've still never seen Morning Song do anything, we've only been told about it. She really should've been saved for later so Season 2 could've maybe established Morning Song first and THEN we could've gotten her story. Ajax sets off a bad first impression due to being unable to get the hint that Enid's not into him and being fine with Pugsley and Eugene pranking her and Bruno, but he does get better over time as he helps Wednesday out a few times, learns to respect Enid's boundaries, helps to defeat Principal Dort and after Enid dumps Bruno, he doesn't immediately try to get back with her and is OK with just being friends. It says so much when Ajax feels like he had more development and more of an arc than Wednesday herself. Eugene was kind of irrelevant in this season. He and Pugsley needed way more time together in this season if his arc wit Pugsley was to hold any weight.

And of course, the rest of the Addams family return with Morticia Addams (played by Catherine Zeta Jones), Gomez Addams (played by Luis Guzmán), Pugsley Addams (played by Isaac Ordonez) and Uncle Fester (played by Fred Armisen.) Gomez doesn't have that much significance to the plot while Uncle Fester makes a guest appearance who at least helps Wednesday in solving the mystery being Willow Hill and the avian murderer and just like in Season 1, he's a total scene stealer who is a tonne of fun to watch. Morticia and Pugsley have more involvement by comparison with Morticia playing a part in some of the subplots and also having her own subplot in trying to mend her relationship with Wednesday while Pugsley is the main catalyst behind the Isaac Night plot. While it's nice these two got an increased role, Morticia's plot ends rather anti-climactically when Wednesday turns on Grandmama Hester Frump because she was racist to Gomez and Pugsley isn't the one who stops Isaac in the end, which just felt like a wasted opportunity. It would've been nice to have also seen more of him and Eugene together to make it more impactful concerning how Eugene didn't really attempt to befriend Pugsley.

We also get the return of the monstrous Hyde himself, Tyler Galpin (played by Hunter Doohan). Surprisingly, this season managed to make him more sympathetic when he finds out his mother is alive and he genuinely seems happy to have someone who truly loves him back in his life. He also continues to be a creepy and menacing villain due to how he's a dangerous Hyde and his presence means things are about to get real dangerous real quick. I'm definitely curious what's in store for him come next season...

We also surprisingly get a return from the deceased Principal Larissa Weems (played by Gwendoline Christie). The way she returns was pretty nonsensical since at no point in Season 1 was it even remotely implied she and Wednesday were related and all she does is constantly criticize Wednesday for stuff that isn't even her fault. I don't see why they brought her back in the end as she was barely any help at all. Even Wednesday herself snarks about how useless she is here.

Speaking of useless, Marylin Thornhill/Laurel Gates (played by Christina Ricci) returns this season...and is promptly killed off by Tyler at the end of Episode 4. Just...why? What was the point of her coming back if she was going to be killed off so abruptly? She may as well have been killed off last season for how little her return meant to the story!

As well as old characters, there's new characters too with the most notable ones being Principal Barry Dort (played by Steve Buscemi), Isadora Capri (played by Billie Piper), Isaac Night (played by Owen Painter), Francoise Galpin (played by Frances O' Connor), Bruno Yuson (played by Noah B. Taylor), Dr. Rachel Fairburn (played by Thandiwe Newton), Judi Spannagel (played by Heather Matarazzo), Wednesday's stalker, Professor Orloff (played by Christopher Lloyd) and Grandmama Hester Frump (played by Joanna Lumley).

As I've said numerous times in this review, Principal Dort's subplot was completely unnecessary here as it's completely disconnected from the main plot and should've been saved for Season 3. Dort can still debut here of course, but his plot as leader of Morning Song and trying to swindle Hester out of her money had no business being in this season It just felt like we took a detour with this guy and the fact he was killed off so abruptly made him feel even more of a waste.

Isadora Capri was pretty interesting as this former music prodigy who apparently had a Hyde for a husband and she'll be taking Tyler under her wing. Also I enjoyed it whenever she got to sing too, taking advantage of Billie Piper's musical talents (she was a former singer before becoming an actor). The one thing I think is a missed opportunity with her is that she's a werewolf and we...never see her wolf out. So why even say she's a werewolf if we're not going to see her as one? Hopefully next time we will.

Grandmama Hester Frump was a waste of space. She's just a nothing character who's presence meant absolutely nothing. All she does is contribute to the useless subplot with Wednesday and Morticia and is just an excuse to make Principal Dort's story happen. Oh and she's racist, so that makes her even more worthless. She really should've been saved for another season.

For the rest, there's not much else to say. Isaac Night is a mad scientist who honestly wasn't really worth all the build-up, Francoise is Tyler's mother who wants to rid him of his Hyde side, Rachel and Judi are connected to the Willow Hill plot and their stories end as quickly as they begin, Professor Orloff is a waste of Christopher Llyod's talents and Bruno was another waste of space who's utterly detestable because of what a two-timing creep he is.

But the most hateable character of this season for me is Wednesday's stalker. I won't say who they are or who their actor is for spoiler reasons. But all I can say is that they frustrate me. I already talked about their nonsensical plan to get Wednesday's attention that easily could've backfired horribly, but then there's the fact they're an utter creep! They constantly stalk and spy on Wednesday and her mates, using their invisibility powers to do so and despite characters calling them out on their creepy behaviour, the story itself doesn't seem to think they're in the wrong and actually asks us to feel sorry for them! Well I'm not! They're a creep who need to learn to respect people's boundaries and they should've apologized for nearly getting Enid and Bruno killed over an elaborate scheme to get attention! Anytime the show tried to make the stalker sympathetic, this was my reaction:

If Season 3 brings this horrible character back, I'm so going to scream...

The cast suffers from having poor development or the simple fact there's too many to handle at once. Season 3 will benefit so much from a smaller cast next time.

Section 3: The Cinematography

When you have Tim Burton working on the visuals, you're often in for something cool to watch.

This show looks AMAZING! Considering this is made on what is likely a small budget due to being a TV series made for Netflix, it's amazing what they're able to pull off and bring to the big screen. This is especially evident in the practical effects. How they're able to make so much of them look as convincing as they do, I'll never know. The best example of this is Isaac Night. He starts off as a zombie and looks appropriately rotted and hideous and not only does it look incredibly realistic, but they somehow managed to depict his zombie form with a hole on its head and it actually does look like it has an actual hole in its head with camera angles showing us inside said hole to further sell the illusion. How did they do that?! It was also really clever for the visual effects artists to alter the prosthetics on Isaac Night so as he eats more brains, he becomes less zombie looking and becomes more human. You gradually see it as it goes from episode to episode and it looks so convincing. Then there's his clockwork heart and they managed to make the actor look like he actually has the damn thing in a hole in his chest where his regular heart should've been. What further sells the illusion is when Thing tears it out at the end. That was pretty impressive and really did make the character look so much more believable.

Another impressive effect was Professor Orloff and his life support machine. It's so incredible how they managed to actually make it look as if Christopher Llyod's head is in the machine and has you wonder how they managed to pull it off so convincingly. The design of the machine makes it impossible to hide a human body in it so one really does have to wonder how they pulled it off. And then there's all the murder scenes where you'll see characters dead and they make that look convincing too. Sheriff Galpin is one such example as it really does look like he's dead with his eyes gouged out. This kind of reminds me of the Netflix Daredevil and Jessica Jones shows actually where they managed to somehow make every injury the characters received look real and every death look graphic and brutal. It really goes to show how far practical effects can go in blurring the line between reality and fiction, far more so than CGI can.

Speaking of, while the practical effects are convincing, the CGI...not so much. Anytime Tyler and his mum turn into the Hydes and whenever Enid wolfs out, the CGI on them is pretty obvious and while they don't look terrible by any means, they do stand out a bit and it makes them a little less convincing. The same happens whenever Ajax's Gorgon powers turn people to stone. For whatever reason, the statue versions of anyone he turns to stone look fake, like they just used CGI to depict them as stone instead of using prosthetics. Also the scene where Principal Dort burns his scapegoat alive didn't look that convincing either, that definitely looked like obvious CGI.

But that's enough about effects. How about the rest of the cinematography? That too is brilliantly handled. We get a lot of great angles and shots to help bring the show to life and some interesting visual choices. My absolute favourite moment of the visuals was in Episode 1 where we get the backstory of Isaac Night and it's depicted entirely in Tim Burton's signature stop-motion animation style that we saw in movies such as The Nightmare Before Christmas, Frankenweenie and Corpse Bride. That was so cool to see, especially as stop-motion isn't as mainstream as it used to be and now here it is in all its glory. It was probably mostly done as a reference to Tim Burton himself, but I'm not complaining. I thought it was so cool to see.

I also like the environments depicted here. Nevermore Academy is back and as gothic and cool looking as ever, which is not something you can say a lot about when it comes to schools, and Willow Hill is appropriately deceptive in how when we see the place for ourselves, it looks pretty cosy and inviting but then once its dark secret is revealed, the secret LOIS facility looks dingy, cold, uninviting and more like a prison than a rehabilitation centre. An apt visual metaphor for how things may look good from the surface, but down below it's not so nice...

And of course, the make-up and costume work is great here too. I already mentioned the fantastic prosthetics work on Isaac Night, but there's still others to talk about here. We of course have the students and their trademark Nevermore Academy uniforms again which look nice on camera and naturally we still have Wednesday's black version of the uniform to contrast all the others who wear blue and black. Gomez and Pugsley look true to their usual iconic appearances, Morticia and Grandmama look deathly pale, which is true to their appearances in other Addams Family media and Thing looks like they actually did get a proper moving hand that somehow manages to display a lot of character and personality despite being, well, a hand. Apparently they got a magician to use his hand for Thing, so maybe that's why it's so expressive. I even think they did a brilliant job on Lady Gaga's cameo as this ghost that Wednesday visits. Yes really, Lady Gaga plays a character in this season, I'm not making that up. XD Despite this weird casting choice, Lady Gaga surprisingly didn't look that out of place and as I say, convincingly looked like a ghost with the make-up and costume work done to her.

But when it comes to the cinematography, one of the highest forms of praise I can give goes to the body swap episode. It's staggering, and also hilarious, how well Jenna and Emma did acting as each other's characters. They sell the illusion perfectly that Wednesday and Enid swapped bodies and thus give us some of the strongest comedy you'll get in this season. To further sell the illusion of the body swap, the actresses are still speaking with their own voices too. In some body swap stories, the characters swap voices as well as bodies, which is unrealistic since swapping bodies wouldn't change your voice. Here, Enid in Wednesday's body still speaks with Jenna Ortega's voice while Wednesday in Enid's body still speaks with Emma Meyers's voice and I think that worked for the better since it better sole the illusion the two girls had swapped bodies and also allowed Jenna and Emma to flex their acting chops some more. Easily the highlight of the acting we got in this show.

So overall, the show looks fantastic and Tim Burton and the other directors really show that they're masters of their craft. Who knows how good Season 3 will look next time...

Overall:

Wednesday Season 2 was good...I just wish I could've said it was great. The plot has too much happening at once, the cast is too large, the mysteries are resolved too quickly and the climax was resolved with the wrong character. It's saved from being terrible thanks to the parts of the plot that matter the most, the strong acting, the great wit and comedy and the amazing cinematography. If they just shrunk the cast and gave us a less cluttered plot, we could've had a season that blew even Season 1 out of the water. As is, it was just OK overall. With any luck, Season 3 might give us a more straight forward story with less characters to follow, especially since it seems the plot of Season 3 isn't going to involve Nevermore Academy, or at least not as much. So all we can do now is hope Season 3 can give us a better season...

And that's it for this review. I hope you enjoyed it and I invite you all to share your thoughts down below. Do you like Wednesday Season 2? Do you think it sucks? Do tell me.

Next week, it's back to Pokémon Horizons as I review their fifth season. See you then media fans!
