Throwback Thursday takes us back to a mystery involving the Three Investigators whose mantra of “We Investigate Everything” leads them into one of the weakest mysteries of their careers, the solution of which relies both on the ideas of both a ghost and and the idea of astral projection being real. The novel is also stuck with an unfortunate title that gives away the mystery even before the story gets around to properly setting it up.

The first episode of Netflix’s Wednesday sets the stage for the show around the oldest child of the Addams family heading off to a private boarding school after getting in trouble at her latest high school for the attempted murder of the several students in the school pool. While the opening scenes certainly provide a vivid introduction to Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), the first episode doesn’t every really explore why Gozmez (Luis Guzmán) and Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) kept trying to put their daughter in regular public schools (or how she’s stayed out of jail). Now headed to the private school where her parents met, it doesn’t take long before Wednesday attempts her first escape. However, she will make some discoveries that lead to reasons to stick around.

NCIS butts heads with a local DEA task force after Commander Chase (Seana Kofoed) is kidnapped by one of the DEA’s confidential informants who the DEA believe is responsible for killing one of their agents. The episode never quite sells us on the idea of Santino (Ian Verdun) as a killer leading to an unsurprising twist when the captive medical examiner starts believing in his innocence. The trigger-happy agents of the DEA also make it all too easy to figure out what’s really going on.
