Wednesday (2022): A Conversation on Latine and Neurodivergent Representation

Published: April 5, 2023, 3 p.m.

Wednesday follows the moody character, Wednesday Addams during her formative years as a teen sleuth. Jenna Ortega plays the angsty Addams and expands the character we\u2019ve seen many times before. Finally able to embrace their mixed-Latin\xe9 heritage, the show lightly touches on the potential. At times, viewers can feel seen in the show in a variety of ways but ultimately by not leaning into or confidently establishing certain characteristics, the show falls short of good representation.
