You have a lot of great watching choices this weekend on Netflix!
Happy holiday weekend! A long weekend means more quality time with Netflix. You have a lot of great watching options ahead of you, too. There are two new exciting additions to Netflix this week, a weekly news show and a new talk show. The news show is Explained. Brought to you by Vox, each episode is a 15-minute look at a topic that “drives our lives or our world.” Three episodes are available now and a new episode will be released every Wednesday.
A new talk show is also on the schedule. Beginning Sunday, May 27th, The Break With Michelle Wolf arrives with 10 weekly episodes. Taped in front of a studio audience, it’s a blend of comedy and celebrity guests talking with Wolf about current events.
Below are my picks for the week. As with each list, I have seen them all and would personally recommend them. For your convenience, a full list of the titles added this week is at the end of this article. To keep up with additions be sure to follow our What’s New page, updated daily.
Steve Martin and Martin Short: An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life Netflix Original
This special is a delight! It’s definitely nostalgic, but the banter, the skits, the music, everything about it is such a welcome throwback to the way comedy used to be. It has a wonderful vaudeville feel you’re going to love.
The Toys That Made Us: Season 2 Netflix Original
Speaking of nostalgia, this history show revisits some of the most iconic toy franchises in existence. From Star Trek to Legos, this show is a fun look at the toys we all love.

Tig Notaro: Happy to Be Here Netflix Original
Tig Notaro is a wry observational humorist who has been through a lot. She brings those life experiences to the stage and always manages to deliver comedy that is profound. Add her to your watch list.
