It's another week and so prolific streaming service Netflix has another batch of TV shows, movies and specials rolling out to streamers around the world.
I'm What to Watch's streaming editor and so I keep an eye on everything coming to Netflix each week (yes, everything) and I pick the best of the rest to create a curated list each weekend.
This time around I've created a list of 6 new Netflix Originals arriving between Saturday, May 17 and Friday, May 23. Some of these shows could end up on our list of the best Netflix shows and best Netflix movies, sometimes they end up being... not so good, but it's often worth checking them out.
My list this week has a range of genres including a stand-up comedy show, a horror movie, a reality dating show and two dramedy series. So whatever your taste is, there will be something or you on this list.
Sarah Silverman: Postmortem
Hollywood star and comedian Sarah Silverman has her second Netflix stand-up special arriving on Tuesday, May 21.
In Postmortem, Silverman will discuss the loss of her parents, which would seem a dark topic but she'll find the humor in it for the stand-up show.
