Wednesday has been a hit with viewers, shooting up Netflix’s streaming charts into the coveted number-one spot in multiple countries. The series has also set an impressive new milestone as well to become the highest-rated Addams series on Rotten Tomatoes with audiences since the 1960s.
Focusing on Wednesday Addams (played by Jenna Ortega), the show follows her – and her spooky family – as she gets shipped off to a new boarding school called Nevermore. Here, she finds herself investigating a series of strange murders after discovering that she has psychic powers.
It’s the latest in a long line of Addams Family adaptations since the classic cartoon was created by Charles Addams in the 1930s. But, according to The Independent, it’s also been one of the most popular.
Wednesday landed some mixed reviews upon release, but viewer consensus has been much more positive. The eight-part series currently has a 88% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The score means it’s the highest-ranked adaptation on the platform since the 1964 TV series, which ran until 1966. The first season has an audience score of 94%, based on 25 reviews.
