Also, St\\xe9phanie Frappart is set to make history as the first woman to referee a men\\u2019s World Cup match.

\\u201cSunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday\\u201d... That song is the first thing I think of when talking about \\u201cWednesday\\u201d, Netflix\\u2019s latest hit TV show. While attending Nevermore Academy, Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a killing spree and solve the mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago. The show premiered on Nov. 23 and has received attention because of creator Tim Burton\\u2019s clever comedy and horror sequence. It\\u2019s only been a week since its release and \\u201cWednesday\\u201d is already breaking records.
