Everything to Watch on Netflix in May
What's this "sunshine" you speak of?
Compiling these lists is really a free education in Netflix psychology. Last month, they not-so-subtly told us to get off the couch. The month before that, they were like, "We know you don't have anything else to do, so here's all this random stuff." Now, they're obviously just fighting to make it through the April–June dry season because Legally Blonde, Legally Blonde 2, Inglorious Basterds, The Boxtrolls, and H20 Mermaid Adventures? All within the same 30-day period? It's like winter all over again!
For the full schedule—including an exposé on women exploited by the amateur porn industry by Rashida Jones—keep scrolling.
