The Wednesday Characters Ranked
1. Wednesday – Jenna Ortega
Although there’s no media report about it, after watching Netflix, many might agree that at the top of this list is Jenna Ortega‘s Wednesday Addams. Not because the series is about her and she is the lead, but because the way she portrayed the character with maturity, nuance, and captured small details with her blank and pale expression is commendable. Most of the time, she didn’t blink in the series, and that says a lot about her.
