Spring can be a blessed time for the entertainment fan's TV and movie backlog. Sure, you can catch new stuff at the movies or go outside or whatever, but we say let's treat spring like any other season and relish it as an opportunity to bond with Netflix. Dear White People returns at the beginning of the month, as do several CW shows that just ended their on-air seasons. And come Memorial Day Weekend, there's a perfect family film waiting for you.

Here's what's coming to Netflix in May.

Top pick: Coco

If you made the egregious mistake of missing Disney and Pixar's breathtaking family film in theaters, your redemption is at hand. You may choose to watch on a mobile device, but for the full effect, we recommend watching on the biggest screen possible to take in the stunning visuals of Miguel's (Anthony Gonzalez) heartwarming journey.
