Tim Burton directs several episodes of a new series centred around the fastidious daughter of the Addams family. Between therapy sessions and navigating her outcast status at Nevermore Academy, the young Wednesday Addams is as deadpan as ever. She’s also balancing her newfound psychic abilities with a deep responsibility toward cracking an unsolved murder case tied to her parents. “Scream” actress Jenna Ortega brings Wednesday’s morbid personality to life, while Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzman play Morticia and Gomez Addams. There’s also a delicious appearance by actress Christina Ricci who played Wednesday in two 1990s feature films. (Netflix, Nov. 23)
“Echo 3”
When respected American scientist Amber Chesborough is kidnapped in Venezuela, her brother and husband — two decorated military experts — decide to vault the political red tape and mount a rescue effort themselves. Packed with enough nail-biting action to fill a few Hollywood movies, “Echo 3” was written for television by Mark Boal, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of “The Hurt Locker.” It’s based on Israeli author Amir Gutfreund’s “Heroes Fly to Her.” (Apple TV Plus, Nov. 23, episodes weekly)
