Netflix is saying goodbye to April and hello to May in a big way.

With Monday and Tuesday marking the last days of April, some of the last titles from that month's streaming list will finally be checked off, including the Netflix film Honeymoonish, the originals series Fiasco, and new episodes of the streamer's latest reality show Fight for Paradise: Who Can You Trust?. As is the case most months, May 1 will then bring with it dozens of new-to-Netflix licensed titles, with this week's roundup featuring hit films like Blended, The Edge of Seventeen, The Equalizer, Jumanji (1995), Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and both Shrek and Shrek Forever After. The start of the month will also see several new Netflix originals hitting the streaming library, including Unfrosted, a film about the origins of the Pop-Tart, and the new anime T・P BON.

You can watch all of these titles and more by signing up for one of the streamer's three subscription plans – the basic with ads plan ($7 per month), the standard plan ($15.50 per month), and the premium plan ($20 per month). The latter three plans give subscribers access to the complete Netflix streaming library, but content availability is slightly limited on the Netflix with ads plan.

The Time Patrol agents save those who died unfortunate deaths that don't significantly alter the course of history. During these missions, anyone who sees Ream and the other agents has their memories erased. However, Bon's memory remains mysteriously intact, so he is brought in as a Time Patrol agent-in-training. Teaming up with Ream to carry out missions, Bon is excited about using tools of the future, including the "time boat" that can sail through time and space.
