'We're going to need a bigger TV': What's new on streaming in May
Just when you thought it was safe to go out and find a new hobby, the Australian streaming services have come through with the goods to keep you glued to your TV this month.
Let's hope May wasn't your month to start doing more outdoor activities.
Throwing a little nostalgia in the waters, Netflix has enough "Jaws" movies to keep you terrified until next summer's beach season. For kid-friendly chomp there's "The Adventures of Sharkboy & Lavagirl" -- or you could harpoon both those ideas and binge on the next season of "Arrow" (yes, we're pretty happy with that one).
Meanwhile Presto is dropping a load of titles in May. You can prep for "X-Men: Apocalypse" with three films from the Marvel film franchise, man up and watch both (count 'em, both) "Mulan" movies, or just lean in to your ever-dwindling grip on reality with a double header of "Fight Club" and "The Truman Show."
Finally, Stan is launching its heavily-anticipated original series "Wolf Creek." A spin-off of the film of the same name, the TV series is more revenge thriller than all-out slasher fest (but expect some good blood and scares) and a great example of what a streaming original can offer when it's made in Australia.
Enjoy getting acquainted with your sofa this month!
