Jenna Ortega stars as the somber goth Addams Family daughter Wednesday in the just-released Netflix series

on Netflix — and, of course, the reviews are still trickling in. So far, it seems like the show has struck the right balance between appealing to nostalgia amongst Addams Family fans and giving streaming audiences a fresh story to sink their teeth into. Perhaps the best example of the former is the presence in the series of Christina Ricci, who also played a younger version of Wednesday on the big screen.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the show’s scores currently stand at 69% and 78%, respectively — generally good, but probably worth waiting another day or so to see how viewers continue to respond before making a definitive judgment about it. All in all, though, Ortega played this role with a delicious insouciance that might surprise anyone who knows her earlier work from The Disney Channel as well as her time on. It was so fun watching her, as Wednesday, pretending not to have fun or anything like it. “IM OBSESSED!!” one Twitter user raved on the series’ release day.
