3 newly-added Netflix shows you can binge this weekend (May 29-31)

Netflix has had a busy and fruitful May. Nemesis is getting comfy at the top of the Top 10, The Boroughs has grown-ups thanking the Duffer Brothers for helping to make a more age-appropriate Stranger Things, and Sally Field is quietly making everyone sob into their pillows with Remarkably Bright Creatures. BUT, there's still a little more the streaming service has to squeeze out of May.

To sail off into the summer sunset, Netflix has a few new arrivals—a new season of vacation with Tina Fey, Will Forte et al, a quirky Korean superhero series, and a stand-up comic's second round of disturbing vignettes.

The Four Seasons

Tina Fey's friend group is back, minus one

Getting older isn't easy. It can be a time of existential crises, restlessness, and back pain. But if Tina Fey has anything to say about it, it's damn funny. The former SNL legend and genius behind 30 Rock, returns with her sharp-witted ensemble dramedy, The Four Seasons, for a second season of more mid-life-crisis head-shaking.

The Critically-acclaimed series about a group of longtime besties who meet up for four seasonal trips a year, reunites Kate and Jack (Fey and Will Forte), Danny and Claude (Emmy-nominee Colman Domingo and Marco Calvani), Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver), and Ginny (Erika Henningsen), as they pick up the pieces following the gut-punch of an ending to season one.

Season two sees the group head to Italy and, um, the Jersey Shore, where the passive-aggressive jabs, inside jokes, and petty grievances that only old friends can endure flow like wine. Season one has a 78% critics' rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Wonderfools

A Korean superhero squad that's not very super

Not since Ben Stiller's superhero satireMystery Men have we really seen a squad of semi-supers with deeply inconvenient powers quite like the ragtag crew in the Korean limited series The Wonderfools. The whimsically dry series set in the paranoia-driven days leading up to Y2K, centers around the small city of Haeseong, where a sinister government experiment and a mysterious waste site full of gross, toxic goo, has turned a handful of folks into "defective superhumans."

Chief among them are Eun Chae-ni (Park Eun-bin), a young woman who can teleport, but can't control where she goes, and Kang Ro-bin (Im Seong-jae), Chae-ni's childhood friend, whose super strength only activates when his feelings have been hurt. They're led by Lee Woon-jeong (Cha Eun-woo), a city employee from Seoul with telekinetic abilities who is trying to get to the bottom of the devious plot. The Wonderfoolsis wild, fast-paced, and wonderfully funny, earning it a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Bad Thoughts

Comedian Tom Segura's bizarre vignette show returns

Comedian Tom Segura's Bad Thoughts is a sketch comedy show like nothing you've ever seen before. Season one's six episodes of wacky vignettes where the comedian plays dozens of characters himself, was nominated for an Emmy (Outstanding Performer in a Short Form Comedy for Segura himself). With loose themes like "Jobs," "Success," "Family," and "Health," each 20-minute episode stitches together a series of off-the-wall short mini scenes from Segura's twisted mind that play like little movies—in one, he's a Bourne-like assassin, in another he's a country singer mining people's trauma for song ideas.

In season two, Segura brings dozens more characters to six more episodes, but this time he's bringing some of his friends to help out, including Luke Wilson, Busy Philipps, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Lily Sullivan and Martha Kelly. Critics were divisive about season one, but the writing's creativity and Segura's commitment to the characters is commendable—and the Academy obviously thought so, too.

There's still life left in May

As we get down to the bottom of the barrel for May (sometimes the best bits are down there) and await all the things coming in June, hopefully these three picks will get you through not just the weekend, but the last days of the month. If not, we've got all kinds of other roundups of shows and movies you can stream.
