May has just begun and we have been greeted with many new and exciting shows and movies to watch in your spare time. A total amount of 130 new titles have been added consisting of 79 new movies, 25 documentaries and another 26 TV series. The start of the month always brings a mass of titles, but as usual, we are going to pick out three for us to highlight individually.

Our first choice for this week is the new Netflix Original Series ‘Bill Nye Saves the World’ which stars Bill Nye the Science guy who hosts a comedy talk-show based around science and various issues that concern the earth, including politics, global warming, religion and many other interesting topics that he brings special guests on to help him address the impact of science. Many people have been pleased to see Bill’s return to the screen.

Our second highlight this week is the 1996 classic film ‘Happy Gilmore’ that has just been released onto Netflix. Arguably one of Adam Sandler’s best movies, Happy Gilmore is based on a rejected wannabe Hockey player who discovers he has a certain talent for golf. He decides to join the P.G.A golf tour in order to get the money to save his Grandmas house. Unfortunately, the hockey attitude doesn’t mix well with the other golf players, especially when he’s competing for the championship. The fans of the Classic Sandler films will be pleased to hear that Happy Gilmore is now available to stream.

Lastly, we have decided to pick the third season of ‘The 100’ that has just been released. The series is based 97 years after a devastating nuclear war leaves the Earth uninhabitable and humanity now only exists on a space station orbiting the destroyed planet. Due to depleting supplies they decide to send down 100 juvenile criminals in order to test the conditions on the surface in hope of repopulation. The show has been quite popular and is definitely worth a watch.
