What’s new on Netflix, Stan, BINGE, Amazon Prime, Disney+ and Apple TV+
Everything streaming on Netflix, Stan, BINGE, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV+ and Paramount+ that’s worth your time from May 2-8, 2022.
NETFLIX
Meltdown: Three Mile Island (4th)
Hard-hitting documentary about the Three Mile Island incident, which was a bit like Chernobyl but in Pennsylvania. Probably not good dinner telly, to be honest.
Clark (5th)
Fascinating series about real-life criminal Clark Olofsson who was the bloke for whom the term “Stockholm Syndrome” was created. This is a true story that’s a whole lot stranger than fiction.
The Pentaverate (5th)
Mike Myers is back! This time playing five (or more) different roles in a nutty sounding story involving conspiracies, secret societies and other assorted nonsense. Will it be the next Austin Powers or another disastrous The Love Guru? Watch to find out.
Along For the Ride (6th)
This is a cute looking romance about two insomniacs who form a bond that then develops into something more. Meanwhile, the rest of us just doom scroll Insta until dawn.
The Takedown (6th)
Remember when buddy cop movies were all the rage? Well, now they’re back - in French form! Starring Omar Sy (Lupin) this action flick looks like a fast-paced good time.
STAN
Girls5Eva S2 (6th)
The second season of the show about a middle-aged girl band reunion is here for more genuinely funny comedy. Underrated little charmer, this one.
Pet Sematary 1 & 2 (7th)
The 1989 original is one of the better Stephen King adaptations of the time. The sequel? Complete and utter nonsense but gleefully, stupidly entertaining. Both of them are worth a watch.
Made For Love S2 (Now)
The second season of the show about a woman trying to escape from a douchey, obsessive billionaire is here. We liked the first season, so it’s probably worth giving the second one a shot.
BINGE
The Staircase (5th)
Prestige drama adaptation of the documentary sensation is here, starring Toni Collette and Colin Firth. For those who are yet to tire of “the husband almost certainly did it, right?” stories, this should be a slick, engaging good(ish) time.
Amazon Prime Video
The Wilds S2 (6th)
Will The Wilds still seem as wild after the excellent Yellowjackets kind of ate its lunch? That remains to be seen, but this should be a pretty exciting yarn nonetheless.
Bosch: Legacy (6th)
Wait, didn’t Bosch just finish? Is that the legacy? A show that never ends? Ah well, Bosch fans will probably be stoked to see their favourite is, apparently, a neverending story.
DISNEY+
Moon Knight S1 finale (4th)
So, one of Marvel’s oddest shows reaches its ending. Did we like it? Was it a bit too wacky for its own good? Legion did the ‘superhero with mental illness’ thing a lot better, we reckon. Still, Oscar Isaac is always worth watching.
Disney Gallery: The Book of Boba Fett — Disney+ Original Film (4th)
Here’s a documentary about the making of The Book of Boba Fett. Hopefully it will answer our most urgent questions like “why did Boba vanish from his own show for like three episodes?”
Apple TV+
Tehran S2 (6th)
Second season of the Israeli spy series adds the always welcome Glenn Close! That’s quite the cast addition and may be worth coming back to this imperfect but engaging show for.
The Big Conn (6th)
This is a docu-series about a bloke called Eric C. Conn who managed to flog half a billion dollars in the biggest Social Security fraud case in history. He was caught by Brian D. Copp. Possibly.
Paramount+
PICK OF THE WEEK
Star Trek: Strange New Words (5th)
Look, these new Star Trek shows aren’t perfect. Discovery has way too much crying and Picard is a bit of a dog’s breakfast. But Strange New Worlds looks like a spectacular return to more episodic storytelling and Anson Mount is always welcome on the telly. Let’s give it a bash, eh?
