We know it’s only Wednesday, but some of us are already looking forward to a weekend Netflix binge in clothes with elasticated waistbands and a very lengthy Chinese order.
It’s the start of May, and Netflix have a whole bunch of great new shows going live, so you’ll be spoilt for choice this weekend when it comes to what you want to feast your eyes on.
Grace and Frankie was a massive hit last year, and the second season will be available on Friday, May 6th. Starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin as the titular characters whose husbands reveal they are gay and leave them for each other.
The second season revolves around how the two women, their ex-husbands, and their families cope with the changed dynamic and learn that it’s not all golden in your golden years.
Marseille is a Netflix Original which is due to premiere on May 5th. It centres on Robert Taro, the French city’s mayor who wants to push through a vote for a casino to be built in the centre of the Marina.
His successor Lucas Barrés is already designated, but the latter has a thirst for power which will make this race for mayor potentially deadly. This crime thriller stars French icon Gerárd Depardieu as Robert Taro.
The 11th season of genius comedy series It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia as the gang return to Paddy’s Pub and get up to all sorts of adventures including a move to the suburbs, shooting a smut film, defending themselves in court, and playing another deranged round of the legendary board game Chardee MacDennis.
If you’re passionate about environmental issues, Bikes vs Cars is the watch for you. Going live on Tuesday, May 3rd, we meet activists and thinkers who are fighting to make cycling in cities safer and discuss the dangers cyclists face in urban areas around the globe. On the other hand, we hear from individuals trying to make the auto industry more sustainable. This one’s brain food.
Red Army is another great feature documentary about the Soviet union and the most successful sports dynasty in history, the Red Army hockey team. The captain Slava Fetisov tells the story of his transformation from national hero to political enemy and draws interesting parallels between politics and the sporting world.
That’s your weekend viewing sorted!
