This Month’s Critic’s Picks
🎟️⭐ John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in L.A.
As part of the Netflix Is a Joke festival in Los Angeles, John Mulaney is hosting a six-night live show. Confirmed as part sketch, part variety, Mulaney’s Everybody’s in L.A. series will bring in comedians like Chris Rock, David Letterman, and more as he explores Los Angeles — and that’s about all we know. (Streaming May 3.)
More May highlights:
➽ Bridgerton, season 3, part 1 — It’s Lady Whistledown’s time to shine. In season three of the steamy series, the ton’s infamous and still anonymous (to the ton, not us) author, Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan), will take center stage as she decides to properly enter the marriage market with the help of her hot friend Colin Bridgerton. That’ll go well, we’re sure. (Streaming May 16.)
➽ Atlas — JLo is going from weddings to battling AI. In Atlas, she plays a data analyst who goes on a mission to save a robot that helps her understand that AI is good, apparently. Now, which tech billionaire funded this? (Streaming May 24.)
