Each month, Netflix fills its service with its own original content. However, sometimes it’s very difficult to pick which of the many ‘Netflix Originals’ to watch — especially if you don’t know anything about them or if you don’t know whether they’re good or bad.
In an attempt to try and help everyone satisfy their viewing needs, here’s a list of the top-rated Netflix Originals shows and movies this May.
Note that Rotten Tomatoes has not rated quite a bit of these shows, so we’ve listed only the ones that have been rated.
