Wednesday star Jenna Ortega opens up about her struggle with OCD amid rising fame
Wednesday aired almost three years ago on Netflix, and now, it is happening once again. Season 2 of the Emmy-winning Netflix show, which includes black-pigtailed, emotionally reserved high school student Wednesday Addams, the character played by Jenna Ortega, was released on Wednesday, 6 August. It is composed of eight episodes in Season 2. Four of them are published under Part 1. The rest of Season 2 will come out on September 3. Among the returning cast are Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, and Fred Armisen. There are new cast featured, such as Lady Gaga, Haley Joel Osment, and Joanna Lumley. As the season 2 is making rounds on the internet, the main lead – Jenna Ortega has opened up about dealing with OCD. What happened with Jenna Ortega? Jenna Ortega had her own brushes with troubles despite gaining major success at an early age. Just like most members of the current generation, who can be struggling to handle mental issues, the award-winning actress was once documented as she lamented her obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) problem. Why is Jenna Ortega trending on social media? In a throwback interview conducted with Heart, a leading UK-based radio brand, Jenna opened up about the impact of OCD on her everyday life, mostly when she feels overwhelmed by the everyday routine of being a young artist in the entertainment world. 'It is quite hard since my work puts me on the road all the time, and it is never a familiar setting. Whatever the workplace is, you sort of invent a new routine, which you can only keep for six weeks, and then you are off to the next stuff. I get to bed when I should, 8 p.m. or 8:30, but I do not because it is the only time I get stuff done,' Jenna Ortega continues. 'And I also get very intense OCD when I am feeling tired.' Jenna Ortega said, 'Noticing repetitive thoughts and counting things over and over and doing the same thing repeatedly.' Jenna further mentioned her weird habit of checking everything in her house and said that during the night, sometimes she used to feel very tired and go up and down the stairs six times because she thinks that is what she can do to ensure that no one can intrude in her house. In the same interview, Jenna Ortega also mentioned that she is trying to meditate, and it has been a learning curve, but she is really good at it now. As for now, she has been completely satisfied with her progress in dealing with OCD most peacefully. Jenna concluded by saying, 'It's been nice to kind of deal with that in a peaceful manner.' What is OCD? Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by the existence of a pattern of thoughts and fears, like that of obsessions. These compulsions make you perform repetitive behaviors. These obsessions and compulsions interfere with normal duties and bring a lot of distress. What is the response of the audience to Wednesday: Season 2? Wednesday Part 2 emerged with a powerful yet kind of mixed reception to Part 1, which was hugely popular. Even though the fans were pleased with the darker tone, character advancement, and gothic elements, they spoke out on the lack of a compelling mystery as in the previous one. Nevertheless, the acting of Jenna Ortega and the individual style of the show invited the audience to continue watching.

Wednesday Season 2 IMDB Rating: 8.0 Genres: Comedy, Crime, Fantasy, Mystery Jenna Ortega is back as the eponymous Addams Family daughter in Wednesday: Season 2, and the first reviews affirm that her return was worth the wait. Three years after the show's Netflix debut, Ortega remains the primary reason to watch, while Tim Burton fans continue to receive the best of the filmmaker's trademarks on the small screen. Critics are divided, however, on whether certain changes and uniformities are favorable or not, and the decision to divide the season into two parts sounds frustrating. Beyond the bar IMDB Rating: 8.0 Genre : Drama A young, rookie lawyer with a strong sense of justice joins a top law firm - navigating the complex legal world under a cold, demanding mentor. Evelyn IMDB Rating: 7.2 Genre : Documentary Following his Oscar-winning The White Helmets, Orlando von Einsiedel turns his camera on his own family as they attempt to cope with a devastating loss. When his brother, newly diagnosed as schizophrenic and suffering from intense depression, took his own life at 22, Orlando and his other two siblings buried the trauma, rarely talking about it. Over a decade later, the remaining family set out on a hiking tour, visiting landscapes Evelyn liked to walk, to reflect on his life and death. The result is an intensely personal and moving take on the emotional impact of suicide within a family and a powerful account of the benefits of creating safe spaces for emotional communication. Shot in a subjective style and against the stunning backdrop of the British countryside, Evelyn is an emotionally raw film that documents the difficult, yet rewarding, attempt to navigate the rocky highlands of collective trauma Happy Gilmore 2 IMDB Rating: 6.2 Genres: Comedy, Sports Nearly thirty years have passed since Happy Gilmore famously won the 1996 Tour Championship. For nearly twenty years after that victory, his career continued to flourish. That ended when his wife was tragically killed on a golf course.
