Spring is here, but that doesn’t mean any of us want to do anything but binge watch TV. Netflix is bringing a bunch of its original TV shows back this month in the United States alongside tons of other new movies.




The Highlights

Netflix has been really into itself recently, dumping more and more original stuff into the queue every month. It’s no different in May. There are a couple new movies, including the French thriller, In the Shadow of Iris, Tarantino’s parody-comedy-statement war movie starring Brad Pitt, Inglorious Basterds, the 12 Monkeys-inspired southernish accent, War Machine, and the mystery-comedy Handsome.


Netflix TV shows are in the spotlight once again, with tons of stuff coming back. That includes the next seasons of House of Cards, Sense8, Master of None, Bloodline, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Documentary nerds like me will also be stoked for the variety of new documentaries coming in, like space documentary The Mars Generation, the always fun political film about a sleezeball manipulator, Get Me Roger Stone, and Netflix’s true crime series about a murdered nun, The Keepers.

As for non-Netflix content, it’s a little slow this month, but we do get a few heavy-hitters, including Doctor Strange and Southpaw. Some good TV is coming too, like the new Sherlock series, the first series of Riverdale (yes that Riverdale), and Queen of the South.

As always, there is some solid stuff leaving too. The saddest departure is probably the first three Jurassic Park movies. Also out the way is the entirety of Scrubs, Bob’s Burgers season two, American Dad seasons seven through 10, and the entirety of Anthony Bourdain’s street food signal boaster, Parts Unknown.
