We return to Jericho for the long-awaited second season of Netflix’s most watched show of all time.

It’s a new term at Nevermore, now run by Principal Dort (expertly portrayed by Steve Buscemi), and Wednesday returns with her brother Pugsley as a new student. She loses her psychic abilities after having a premonition of Enid’s death, and works towards regaining her ability, saving Enid and solving a new mystery surrounding project LOIS.
The mid-season finale proves an exciting and vital stage in the story. The breakout at Willow Hill is thrilling as it sees the dangerous characters of both Tyler and Slurp escape, with Wednesday injured. Furthermore, the extent of project LOIS reveals that the supposedly deceased Willow Hill patients are actually being held captive and experimented on, with Judi taking over her father Augustus Stonehearst’s immoral work.
The second half sees Tyler reunite with his Hyde mother Francoise and her brother Isaac, the regenerated version of Slurp as the trio form the main antagonists of the second half. Isaac Knight proves to be the standout new character as Owen Painter is brilliant as the eccentric mad scientist, drawing comparison to Johnny Depp’s Edward Scissorhands.
However, a few questions relating to frustrating elements are posed. Why are Morticia and Gomez present all the time now? Yes, Dort is fishing for donations but their constant appearances feel too much. Why does Pugsley not get punished for resurrecting a murderous zombie? Surely resurrecting a zombie alone is a punishable act! And what is the point of Agnes? Yes, she helps Wednesday with her invisibility but her obsession and persistence with Wednesday finds her an unnecessary and annoying addition.
As an aside, the series is structured for the audience to support the outcasts, but from a ‘normie’ perspective, they generally cause a lot of trouble in an otherwise peaceful town, with attacks, murders and police encounters. The hostility towards outcasts is actually justified.
The ending, which sees Wednesday and Uncle Fester set off north to find Enid and Aunt Ophelia being held captive by Grandmama, suggests there is more adventure to come.
Overall, the series delivers another entertaining season and remains top of the fantasy genre.
8/10
