I went into this with pretty low expectations, with Tim Burton's name prominently featured and the premise ripe for YA nonsense. But you have to give create where credit is due, Jenny Ortega pretty much single-handedly elevated what would have otherwise been another fate-winx saga and/or cursed or other esc. Show into something better. I mean the writing isn't really much better than those sort of shows but the acting is what makes it enjoyable, esp the main character. Worth a watch if you are into mild horror/goth stuff. Hope netflix makes a note of this when casting and/or making future shows.
