Is there a breakdown of who composed what? I believe they did roughly half the season each?
What? Giving people proper credit? That's crazy talk.
If I remember correctly, it breaks down like this: Elfman’s only solo credit is episode 1, the next few are Elfman/Bacon, then the last four are Bacon alone (though every episode’s score leans HEAVILY on Elfman’s theme).
Show is AWFUL. Just pluck a character out of pop culture and throw them into a Harry Potter mystery. Bullshit. Score was a fun listen on its own, thanks to the use of actual melody (usually Elfman’s theme on various instruments).

not trying to be anything that it isn't.
It’s The Addams Family trying to be Harry Potter/Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina! The whole show is trying to be something it isn’t.
Still, at least the music is good.

This show and music is fabulous. The paint it black on cello...wow!
Yes, being harsh, its premise is goth girl with attitude goes to a sort of hogwarts comprehensive, but. But...but...the lines from Wednesday Addams are delicious!! Brilliant cast.
Guzman and zeta jones are superb and the headmistress, who i knew but couldnt place, was bloody Brienne of Tarth from Game of thrones.
Best of all?? "Thing" steals the whole show. Its fucking genius.
At one point Gomez ends up behind bars, Wednesday goes to visit him and sits across the booth ...Thing climbs up the glass partition and does 'boat drinks' with Gomez!! Made me laugh.
A lot of it has. And im hard to please

I watched episode 1 of this last night and...kinda liked it...but also didn't.
It looks really classy and handsome and the music is spot-on.
I liked Wednesday, her morose/pithy lines and the school/other characters/set-up, despite the obvious HARRY POTTER et al dressings.
What nearly sank it for me,* right out of the gate, was the casting of Gomez and Morticia Addams!!!
WTF!!
While I'm all for equal opportunities (and I love Guzman in many, many previous films) having him follow in the footsteps of John Astin & Raul Julia is like asking me to come on for Lionel Messi and WIN THE GAME in the last 20 minutes!!!
When Gomez Addams has always been tall and dark and dashing and handsome, casting Guzman to follow suit is a fool's errand.
He's just 100% wrong for the role to me.
Not quite as bad, but Zeta Jones also just doesn't ooze that dark/sexy/morbid magnetism that I've seen from previous players in the role. And her acting is pretty weak too.
Fortunately, they f**ked off for most of the rest of the episode, but I dread watching them drown in roles they're just not suited for, in future eps.
I'll stick with it...for now...and try and stay with the positives.
* and moreover, my missus, who kept calling Gomez Tattoo cos he was more suited to FANTASY ISLAND.

Kev, i thought that ep1 about the casting of zeta jones and guzman, but they shine in a later episode, about no4 or no5, and they show how good they are. Stick with it and u will be rewarded

Kev, you’re judging that bit of casting based on the looks of the previous two actors you’ve seen in the role, but you should really try and get over than hangup because here’s Gomez in the original Addams family illustrations drawn in the 1930s by Charles Addams for The New Yorker:

Well at least now you can realize they’re your preconceptions and not the terrible miscasting you thought it was. Somebody in casting was clearly paying attention to the origins of the character.
