Tim Burton's Addams Family Reboot Is A Surprising Success

In retrospect, it’s wild that Tim Burton hasn’t made an Addams family adaptation before Netflix’s Wednesday. Thanks to Burton’s direction (and Danny Elfman’s score) the style is pure Addams, but the substance brings to mind a classic CW teen drama, complete with a murder mystery and romantic subplot. Surprisingly, the marriage works eerily well.

Judy Greer Is The Main Character

In astrological terms, Judy Greer’s career is aspirational with relatable rising. She’s had memorable parts in Arrested Development and 13 Going on 30, many, many television gigs, and recurring arcs in franchises from Halloween to Jurassic World. She’s filmed makeout scenes with Jake Gyllenhaal and George Clooney. But Greer’s characters have frequently been defined by their relationships to parts performed by higher-billed actors — the best friend, the co-worker, the current or former love interest.

Now, on the very meta Hulu series Reboot, about a 2000s sitcom being revived for the streaming wars, Greer is fully starring.
