I'm liking it so far.
I really enjoyed the cello cover of Paint it Black in episode 1. I'd like a copy of the music.

Edit. I've just found it available on You tube

I've watched the first two episodes and they are typically Burton so I'm enjoying it for the most part. I would have liked it if instead of making Nevermore a lukewarm Hogwarts that Burton had done an overblown St. Trinian's.

We are way outside the demographic for this but my wife and I enjoyed it very much, Ortega absolutely nails the moderen Burton Wednesday, Oddly the only thing I didnt like was Christina Ricci

The real lacklustre casting is Lurch, who is neither tall enough, nor in any way imposing. (I don't think Ive heard him speak yet.) Also a rather over-use of Thing.

Otherwise, still finding it enjoyable.

I've watched four, and I've been secretly loving it, even though there's too much of teen angst in the mix on hating everything. But I also have to keep reminding me that at a lot of it is actually Burton's way of telling stories.

Wednesday is a very well-made character, and it would be intriguing to see a matured version without all the plush and frilly bits of her in the small screen. But, I just don't think Burton will make a ten-year jump, with her been in mid-twenties and still a goth.

One thing that I've liked about her character are the sarcastic and very iconic dialogue lines, like on entering the beast gave she quipped, "If you hear me screaming murder, I might be actually liking it..." But then the act actually shows that it's just a dark joke, and it's unlikely she'll act in the way she says she'll do it.
