When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Whether you're looking for drama, documentary or romance, Netflix has got you covered this week with a range of new additions arriving, and we'll help you find the best to watch. As What to Watch's streaming editor, my job is to keep an eye on everything coming to Netflix to see what's worth watching or reporting on, and every week I compile a curated list of the must-watch new additions. This week's list covers new Netflix Originals coming between Saturday, May 24 and Friday, May 30. Some of these shows could end up on our list of the best Netflix shows and best Netflix movies, and I've picked a range of options so that you'll find something, whatever you're into. There's the usual mix of content then, with a stand-up show, true crime documentary, sporting docuseries, crime drama, Euro-thriller and animated story. So let's find you something to watch on Netflix this week. First up this week is the three-part true crime docuseries Cold Case: The Tylenol Murders as a spiritual successor to last year's Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenet Ramsey. The new series tells the story of Chicago's 1982 bout of poisonings, which saw seven people die after consuming Tylenol (a US painkiller) that was laced with cyanide. This case sparked a huge investigation to identify the perpetrator, while also affecting people's trust in over-the-counter medication. Will Netflix get to the bottom of the case? You can probably tell based on the name but it'll teach you all about the case at least. Releases on Monday, May 26 American comedian and Orange is the New Black actor Mike Birbiglia gets his fourth Netflix stand-up special with The Good Life, which releases this week. The Good Life will see Birbiglia make jokes and tell stories about how his dad has affected his own parenting, and how his father's health makes him more conscious about his own pancake consumption. Releases on Monday, May 26 A new series for fans of Drive to Survive arrives this week, with all episodes of F1: The Academy streaming at once. F1: The Academy looks at the women learning to be Formula 1 drivers in the same-titled F1 Academy. It'll follow 15 of them as they compete to be crowned the top drivers while the leader of the academy tries to champion the role of women in the motorsport. Releases on Wednesday, May 28 Dept. Q is a new British police series based on a franchise of Danish noir novels (which have already seen numerous movie versions), which transplants the action from Scandinavia to Scotland. The story follows a disgraced Edinburgh detective who's assigned to Department Q, a cold case unit. Instead of seeing it as a career death he turns around the department as it welcomes other new workers, and together they solve the case of a civil servant who disappeared. Releases on Thursday, May 29 Coming from Korea we've got a new romance anime movie, which is apparently the streamer's first "Korean Original Animated Film". Lost in Starlight is set in 25 years time and it follows the blossoming romance between an astronaut who fails her test to go to Mars, and a musician who's unable to make it big. Together they rekindle each other's passion in their dreams, which goes awry when the astronaut is given a second chance to go to Mars. Releases on Friday, May 30 Another international movie to end the week, and this one is a Spanish thriller set in 2017. A Widow's Game is about an investigation into the stabbing of a Valencia man, which quickly seems to have been carried out by his wife. As the picture becomes more clear, it seems that the widow has her own plans which may not involve getting caught. Releases on Friday, May 30

JonBenét Ramsey's father has 'great hope' police can solve her 1996 murder case
Nearly 30 years since the unsolved murder of JonBenét Ramsey, her father said he has 'great hope' that police are on the right track to finally solve her killing. JonBenét Ramsey, a 6-year-old child beauty queen, was found beaten and strangled in the basement of her family's Boulder, Colorado, home in December 1996. Her murder dominated headlines and transfixed the public, but for decades has remained unsolved. The case saw her parents and brother cast under a cloud of suspicion until prosecutors apologized to them in a letter in 2008 and said they were not considered suspects. Authorities found male DNA on the child's body that did not belong to her family, which pointed an unknown outsider. John Ramsey, JonBenét's father, 81, said he hasn't given up on solving her case. He met with the new Boulder police chief on Monday and said it was the first time in 28 years that he felt the case was in good hands. 'They were just open to sincerely discuss the case. I'm just very impressed with the caliber of the leadership now and that gave me great hope,' he told NBC's Stephanie Gosk. Speaking on the male DNA that was previously withheld from the district attorney's office in the case, he said: 'They kept that result secret from the D.A., certainly from us. The problem that police had is it'd conflict with their conclusion the family were the killers.' The DNA was a focus of the Netflix documentary "Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey" released late last year, which criticized Boulder police. 'Our family reputation has been damaged quite severely by the police. The only way it will be mostly restored is if there is a killer caught,' John Ramsey said. JonBenét's mother, Patsy, died of cancer at age 49 in 2006. In response to the documentary, Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn acknowledged the investigation could have been better handled all those years ago and said the case is far from closed. 'Our goal is to find JonBenét Ramsey's killer. Our commitment to that has never wavered,' Redfearn said in a video message at the time. Ramsey is hopeful that forensic genetic genealogy, which has helped solve other cold cases, will lead to a break. 'That's how it's going to get solved,' he said.
