Every week, Netflix drops a ton of new content for viewers to stream from studios all over the world. Some of it’s good, some of it’s… not for us. Watching all of it would take you a ton of time, so we’ve decided to start our Friday by recommending three top picks for the week to come. Schedule your viewing around these shows and movies and we’ll be watching along with you. This week: more Love, Death and Robots, an expose on the notorious Liver King, and more. For more, the full list of new Netflix content is below.
PCMag’s Picks: What We’re Streaming This Week on Netflix
Untold: The Liver King (May 13)
Influencers aren’t just bad for your mental health, they’re bad for your body. A new documentary, Untold: The Liver King, traces the rise and fall of the grotesquely vascular supplement seller who made his fortune by chowing down on slabs of raw organ meat on Instagram, YouTube, and other platforms. His “Ancestral Lifestyle” promised men that they could have the body of their dreams with 11 simple rules, but when it was revealed that the Liver King spent $11,000 a month on anabolic steroids, it all came crashing down.
American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden (May 14)
The attack on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, will go down in history as a pivotal moment in American history, and the architect of that terrorism as one of history’s greatest villains. American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden is a new three-part docuseries that has never-before-seen footage of the efforts to track down the Al-Qaeda leader and bring him to a watery grave.
Love, Death and Robots: Volume 4 (May 15)
Created by director Tim Miller, Love, Death and Robots is one of the most dependably great anthology series on Netflix, bringing top-flight talent to gorgeous tales of science fiction, inspired by the 1981 classic Heavy Metal. The first episode of the new season stars the Red Hot Chili Peppers in an episode directed by David Fincher, and later installments feature John Boyega, Chris Parnell, Bai Ling and… Mr. Beast???
