New Releases on Netflix: Top Picks for the Week of May 24-30
As reported by PCMag, Netflix has added a plethora of new content to its streaming service, including movies, TV shows, and documentaries. In this article, we will highlight three top picks for the week of May 24-30, as recommended by PCMag.
PCMag’s Top Picks
According to PCMag, this week’s top picks include a critically acclaimed animated feature, a British crime drama, and a Spanish-language thriller.
The Wild Robot (May 24)
PCMag describes The Wild Robot as "a critically acclaimed animated feature" that tells the story of Roz, a service robot who washes up on a small island with no human inhabitants. Voiced by Lupita Nyong’o, Roz must figure out how to adapt her programming to the wilderness while mothering a baby goose. As PCMag notes, "It’s touching, funny, and gorgeously designed. A great way to start your weekend."
Dept. Q (May 29)
PCMag also recommends Dept. Q, a new British show that follows the story of Carl Morck, an English detective operating out of Edinburgh. Played by Matthew Goode, Morck is tasked with cleaning up cold cases as part of a PR campaign to make the cops look competent. As PCMag observes, "Morck is put in charge because nobody thinks he’s good for anything else. Of course, he and his team quickly get into trouble."
A Widow’s Game (May 30)
In Spanish-language drama A Widow’s Game, a young woman becomes the primary suspect in the stabbing death of her husband. As PCMag reports, "As a police investigator tries to puzzle out the bizarre crime, she learns that the innocent-seeming widow had been living a double life, and soon her co-worker and hook-up is enmeshed in the situation as well." PCMag describes it as "a fun, tense way to spend an evening."
