It’s the summer of series with Netflix bringing us an amazing variety of content including originals and other licensed shows and movies. Here are some of the best movies and shows coming straight to your smart devices this May.

Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile

  • IMDb rating: 7.4/10
  • Release date: May 3

The movie revolves around Ted Bundy, a notorious sociopath and serial killer from the 1970s portrayed by Zac Efron. This movie is based on real events and is shown from the perspective of  Elizabeth Kloepfer, Bundy’s longtime girlfriend.

Efron definitely has his plate full with this character being his Netflix Debut. The very real portrayal of Bundy who appears confident and carefree through the movie despite having tortured and killed more than 30 women is an ode to Efron’s brilliant acting. Currently, the movie is expected to see a theatrical release in the US since it’s Netflix’s submission for award nominations. Hopefully, this movie will be available to stream soon.

Inbar Levi joins the cast of Lucifer and is playing the role of Eve, yes as in Adam and Eve. She’s bored with Adam and has decided to show interest in the devil himself. Vinessa Vidotto also joins the cast as an angel Remiel and is the little sister of Amenadiel.
