What's coming to Netflix in May 2017
What was life before Netflix produced its own shows and movies? What's a DVD, anyway?
This month, Netflix has a ton of original films and returning serial favorites, including House of Cards and Sense8. There's also a Richard Pryor special in the streaming platform's all-but sacred comedy vault, along with Hasan Minhaj's stage show Homecoming King, as well as the excellently emotional 2016 comedy Don't Think Twice.
What else is coming to Netflix in May? Glad you asked -- let's take a look.
Top pick: Master of None
The delightfully romantic yet contemplative rumination on millennial friendship and romance from Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang returns for a second season with Dev (Ansari) in Italy and eventually back in New York. As with Season 1, expect a few bottle episodes, some best buds bromance, and hilarious, moving moments.
