If you have ever watched anything Tim Burton created (and why would you not have watched most of his gems?), then you will know how important the music is to the series or film. Nothing changes in regards to Netflix's Wednesday, either. The dark camp is augmented by sometimes ironic tunes.
Take, for example, a scene from the recently released season 2 when Greg and Debbie start getting all chummy in the woods while at the same time, poor Carl Bradbury is having his eyes poked out by evil crows. What is being played along with that? Why, "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None the Richer, of course.
That is just one of the great touches in this fantastic series. Every second oozes with gothic flair, and the music augments it all. You also might hear a tune you cannot remember the name of. No worries, the information for that is below.
Wednesday season 2: All the songs you need to know
As far as whether you should watch season 2, you should. The first season was one of the biggest hits in Netflix's history and was completely worth it. Season 2 of Wednesday has just as excellent reviews from critics and those who truly matter, the viewers.
You might also find yourself streaming the tracklist from the seasons as well. There is something for everyone indeed.
