Jenna Ortega shines as Wednesday Addams in this new streaming Netflix series. Ortega is the best Wednesday yet, and that's something considering the amazing performance of Christina Ricci in the movie incarnation of the character. The series is a bit darker than one might expect for an odd comedy like the Addams Family, but the humor remains. Wednesday is a smart series with numerous plot twists and turns throughout Season One's eight episodes. The series is well written, expertly delivered and well acted. But without a doubt, Jenna Ortega steals the show. She has delivered a complex, highly nuanced and layered character that will go down as the standard for any future iteration of Wednesday Addams. If one has not recognized star talent in Jenna Ortega before, it is hard to doubt it now! Highly Recommend.
