The original Addams Family tv show is streaming for free on the Roku channel. We started showing it to ltc, and she unsurprisingly adores it.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

I tried to get Matilda into it, but she's loyal to the 90s movies, and Christina Ricci's Wednesday.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I always loved John Astin as Gomez ... he had this look in his eyes that at any minute he'd do something absolutely wild.

I think Christina Ricci clearly took Wednesday to a whole new level, but overall I prefer the originals TV versions.

ltc hasn’t seen the live action movies yet, only the more recent cartoon movies, but she is a big Wednesday fan. I need to view the live action movies to remember why they’re pg-13 and decide when they will be appropriate viewing.

Thrive to spite them
We watched the first episode of Wednesday and I had a hard time getting into it . I want to watch more but I found Wednesday to be unlikable. I guess she was just being a teenager but I wanted to shake her and say "get over yourself " for much of it. I liked Enid though.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I did not love Wednesday. I'm not against the idea of taking a bunch of existing supernatural high school tropes and putting them in a blender, but I didn't think the show found anything interesting to say beyond "LOOK AT ALL THESE EDGY TROPES WE FOUND"
And mostly, I do not think Wednesday Addams needs to learn the value of friendship and working together. Let her be a weird little psychopath that doesn't learn any lessons!

Now tagless for your comfort.
I watched The Last of Us with Oliver. He's played the game. I've only watched. Some of the first episode was SO LIKE THE GAME! Great acting by PP (natch).

Oh my word. Yes. Exactly this.

Cashmere, there you are! (Did you leave Twitter, again?)
I haven't tried The Last of Us yet, because we've never played the game. Will it make sense to people who haven't and/or are not gamers?

I think so. The game has a very strong story, and they're working with/expanding that.
