Jenna Ortega is perfect in the role. However, the story leaves much to be desired. I gave it an 8 because of Ortega's performance. The show misleads the audience a bit, because one of the mysteries is very easy to solve, and the other part of the mystery turns out to be so dumb. I hope they go in a different direction in season 2. Something a bit more down to earth with a more complex and well thought out story. Also, the special effects are not good. They look like the SPE from the 90s. I also hope that they focus on the Addams family more to come and the I'm sorry but I do not like the uncle Fester performance at all. Thing is the 2nd best part of the show.
