BINGE-WORTHY TITLES TO ADD TO YOUR LIST:

Before you can get your hands on those brand-new May titles, check out these other fan-favorite original Netflix shows and movies you can binge in the meantime.

Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness: If you haven’t binged Tiger King yet, now’s the perfect time to do it. You’ll be intrigued after the very first episode, which covers the “star” of the Netflix documentary series, Joe Exotic: a gun-toting, big cat-loving, country music-singing private zoo owner in Oklahoma who has more than a few secrets uncovered by the doc. Add in a murder-for-hire plot, several cult-like zoo organizations across the country and countless interviews from bizarre characters you’ll never forget and you have the basic makeup of Tiger King. Now get started — and don’t forget the recently added aftershow with comedic actor Joel McHale!

Tiger King is available to stream on Netflix now.

‘OZARK’ – Season 3

Now’s the time to catch up on Ozark, which released its third season on March 27. In Ozark, financial planner Marty Byrde (Jason Bateman) suddenly relocates the family from Chicago to a summer resort community in the Missouri Ozarks to start anew after he launders money for the Mexican cartel. Season 2 dealt with the consequences of the risks he took in Season 1, as well as his expanding family dynamic with his wife (Laura Linney) and kids (Skylar Gaertner, Sofia Hublitz). Season 3 gets into the very scary risks of growing the “family business” with full family participation — even the two teenagers. Supporting actress Julia Garner took home an Emmy for her performance in 2019, as Bateman also earned an Emmy for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor.

Season 3 of Ozark is available to stream now.

‘THE PHARMACIST’ – NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY

In 1999, after losing his son in a drug-related shooting in New Orleans and lacking answers from police, a small town pharmacist – Dan Schneider – beats the odds when he embarks on a dogged pursuit to find and bring his son’s killer to justice. But months later, the ripple effects of his son’s addiction and tragic death would find him again when a troubling number of young, seemingly healthy people begin visiting Dan’s pharmacy with high dose prescriptions for OxyContin. 

Sensing a crisis long before the opioid epidemic had gained nationwide attention, Dan stakes a mission: Save the lives of other sons and daughters within his community. Then take the fight to Big Pharma itself. Directed by Julia Willoughby Nason and Jenner Furst (Time: The Kalief Browder Story, Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story), The Pharmacist shows how one man channeled his grief into a crusade that helped bring a reckoning against the powerful figures behind the nation’s devastating opioid epidemic.

The Pharmacist is streaming now on Netflix.

‘LOVE IS BLIND’ – NETFLIX ORIGINAL

In Love is Blind, a three-week event, singles who want to be loved for who they are, rather than what they look like, have signed up for a less conventional approach to modern dating where they hope to meet the person they want to spend the rest of their lives with…without ever having seen them. With no distractions from the outside world, the singles talk to a stream of potential love interests and when a meaningful connection is made, they propose and then lay their eyes on their fiancé for the first time. 

Engaged and back in the real world, as the couples plan their wedding day, they will quickly discover whether they can turn their emotional connection into a physical one before the fast-approaching ceremony. Hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, this addictive 10-part series will uncover whether looks or age do matter, or if love really is blind.  Love Is Blind is streaming now on Netflix.
