hacks
If you fancy something lighter, “Hacks” might be for you. The HBO comedy series stars Jean Smart, as the main diva comedian (Deborah Vance) trying to break into the comedy industry.
Deborah travels the country to try out her comedy act. In doing so, she teams up with her up-and-coming comedy writer Ava Daniels played by Hannah Einbinder.
But will they be able to navigate under the tutelage of Deborah’s tour manager, Alice (Laurie Metcalf)? The first season received 15 Emmy nominations, and if the second season is half as good, you don’t want to miss it.
Release date: May 12, 2022
FC Las Bravas
If you are looking for a moving story, the “Las Bravas FC” series will not disappoint. The show explores the meteoric rise of a women’s soccer team in Mexico. The team is desperate to progress and possibly win the regional championships.
But to do that, they need an elite-level coach: Advance Roberto Casas, played by Alfonso Herrera. After seeing his playing career disrupted by heart disease, can Casas reinvent himself while overcoming the stigma he carries towards women’s football?

“Spring Awakening: Those You’ve Known”
The Tony Award-winning musical Spring Awakening returns to reunite the cast 15 years after the musical first appeared on stage.
After reuniting in November 2021, the cast came together to hold an exclusive concert to raise money for “The Actors Fund,” a charity that aims to support artists.
Fans can expect to see behind-the-scenes footage, as the cast reunites and reminisces about the journey that made the musical such a hit. Lea Michele, John Gallagher Jr, Lauren Pritchard and Jonathan Groff are just a few of the names that will pop up.
Release date: May 3, 2022
George Carlin’s American Dream
Named after the late comedian George Carlin, the documentary series will explore the life and struggles of the comic great. Once dubbed the second best comedian of all time by rolling stone magazine, with only Richard Pryor in front of him, Carlin’s tendency to ridicule global affairs is still relevant, if not more so.
Many actors have been inspired by his work, including Bette Midler, Jon Stewart and Jerry Seinfield. Still, in an acting career that spanned five decades, reaching the top wasn’t easy.
Addiction issues took a toll on his health, while the death of his father when he was just 8 years old also shaped his outlook on life.
Release date: May 20, 2022
Catwoman: Hunted
If animation is something you like, this might be for you. Catwomen (Elizabeth Gillies) manages to force their way into a party attended by Gotham’s most dangerous gangster, Black Mask (Jonathan Banks).
The latter intends to join the largest criminal syndicate “Leviathan”, led by Barbara Minerva (the host of the evening). To participate in the party, Mask donates a precious emerald.
Catwoman steps in to steal the jewel but is stopped short by Batwoman (Stephanie Beatriz). Minerva’s entourage recovers the gem but has now chosen Catwoman for revenge.
