The 7 Best New Shows on Netflix in May
In a rare feat for a streamer as beloved for its onslaught of acquisitions as its original productions, the best new shows on Netflix's May release calendar are all exclusive to the service. While I balk at calling Conan O'Brien's Mark Twain Prize ceremony a full-on Netflix original, the most powerful streaming service in the world was smart enough to snag the rights — and schedule the premiere during yet another period of peak appreciation for our favorite late-night Irishman — so they deserve ample credit. Plus, it's the only entry of the lot that's not an established Netflix franchise or an anticipated Netflix original. May will welcome new seasons of 'Love, Death & Robots' (including an episode directed by executive producer David Fincher, featuring the Red Hot Chili Peppers), 'Untold' (the sports documentary series that's proving to be a worthy addition to any '30 for 30' fan's queue), and the final season of 'Big Mouth.' (A well-reviewed Netflix original series that spans eight seasons plus a spinoff? Now that's the kind of TV worth getting behind!) More from IndieWire 'Squid Game 3' Teaser: The Only Way Out Is Through Netflix Rolls Out the Red Carpet for Emmy Voters with Two-Week FYSEE LA Festival Across Los Angeles 'The Four Seasons' Review: Tina Fey and Steve Carell's Netflix Show Is Pleasant but Perfunctory In addition, Netflix subscribers can check out new shows including 'Forever,' a modern adaptation of Judy Blume's 1975 novel (featuring two incredible breakthrough performances, one of whom — Lovie Simone — has already earned a nomination from the Gotham Awards); 'Sirens,' a limited series led by Julianne Moore and Meghann Fahy from the creator of 'Maid' (Molly Smith Metzler) and the lead director of 'Watchmen' (Nicole Kassell); and another adaptation, this one of Alan Alda's feature directorial debut, 'The Four Seasons,' from co-creator and star Tina Fey. (The cast just happens to include Steve Carell, Colman Domingo, and Will Forte, too! TV stars, unite!) It's not quite right to say Netflix is back — reviews of 'The Four Seasons' aren't as enthusiastic as Fey's past comedy creations, and, despite a slight dip in quality content over the last few months, Netflix never really went anywhere. But it's reassuring to see the streamer put creator-driven stories at the forefront of their summer season. After all, with audiences (hopefully) rushing back to theaters for blockbusters like 'Thunderbolts*' (Marvel's latest attempt to resurrect its fading brand), 'Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning' (Tom Cruise's last attempt to defy death for our entertainment? surely not), and Tim Robinson's A24 comedy 'Friendship' (get hyped), whatever's available at home needs to offer something different; something TV does best; something personal, something powerful, something you can live with for longer than a couple hours.
