At this stage, it's pretty much impossible to keep up with the stream load of shows and movies added to Netflix each month, but dammit, we're going to try.
Here's what you should check out this week...
The Ranch
That '70s Show stars Aston Kutcher and Danny Masterson reunite for this new Netflix original sitcom which was just released last Friday. Kelso and Hyde (as they'll always be known to us) are playing brothers Colt and 'Rooster', while their parents are played by Sam Elliott and Debra Winger (An Officer and a Gentleman), and former 24 star Elisha Cuthbert also pops up.
Colt returns home a failed semi-pro football player to run the family ranching business with his bro and his dad, whom he hasn’t seen in 15 years.
Queue, overly-scripted jokes and a laugh track and we've got ourselves a sitcom, not necessarily a good sitcom, but we'll leave that for you to decide.
Read our review here.
Jane the Virgin
This award winning American comedy series makes its way onto Netflix. Jane Villanueva is a religious 23-year-old teacher who is determined she won't end up like her mother who was just a teenager when she had her. However, the best laid plans and all that. In a bit of a bizarre twist, she is accidentally artificially inseminated. Yep. It all makes for pretty entertaining TV though with Gina Rodriguez even winning a Golden Globe for her role as Jane.
The Grand Budapest Hotel
This movie is about as off-beat and quirky as you'd expect from director Wes Anderson, but once you know that's what you are signing up for, it's difficult not to enjoy this Oscar nominated flick, starring pretty much EVERYONE. It follows the goings of The Grand Budapest Hotel, a popular European ski resort, presided over by concierge Gustave H. (Ralph Fiennes). Gustave prides himself on providing a first-class service to the hotel's guests, but when one dies under mysterious circumstances, he finds himself the recipient of a priceless painting and the chief suspect in her murder.
Grace and Frankie
The trailer for season two of this Netflix original series dropped today and will premiere on May 6th. So you can use that time to catch up on season one of this comedy starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin as two long-time rivals brought together when their husbands (Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston) go and fall in love with each other on them.
Scrotal Recall
Catchy name for a show wha'? It really sticks, must have taken balls to name it that. It's a hard one to forget.. and yeah okay, we'll stop now. This new comedy features a bloke called Dylan who has been diagnosed with an STD and now must go tell every girl he has ever been with about it. Join him on his awkward journey alongside his mates Eve and Luke as he alphabetically goes through the girls on the list, with the first lucky contestant being Abigail, whom he met at a wedding three years ago. Flashbacks galore and even a bit of romance too as Dylan realises the love of his life may actually just be right under his nose.
