We\u2019re somehow already flying through May, and while that\u2019s slightly terrifying, it also means the list of new shows keeps getting bigger every single week. Between Netflix<\/a>, Prime Video, HBO Max and the rest of the streaming world constantly dropping fresh content, keeping up feels almost impossible. Still, Netflix remains the comfort streaming service for a lot of us (myself included), mostly because there\u2019s always something new landing on the platform.<\/p>\n

To stop you from getting overwhelmed, I\u2019ve picked out three new shows worth adding to your Netflix watchlist. This includes a new crime drama that follows a relentless detective locked in a tense cat-and-mouse chase, season 2 of a comedy about a group of friends attempting to rebuild their lives, and a new season of an animated action series where a demon hunter-for-hire is forced back into battle.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re spending the weekend binge-watching a bunch of shows, these are the three new Netflix series worth checking out.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the biggest show released on Netflix this week is \u201cNemesis,\u201d a crime drama that marks the first major project from showrunner Courtney A. Kemp (the mind behind the massive \u201cPower\u201d universe) under her new creative partnership with the streaming giant. The series feels like a modern, high-gloss love letter to classic Los Angeles heist films like \u201cHeat.\u201d At its core though, it\u2019s a battle of wits between a detective and a master thief whose personal lives begin to mirror each other in increasingly dangerous ways.<\/p>\n

\u201cNemesis\u201d follows Isaiah Stiles (Matthew Law), a relentless LAPD detective obsessed with bringing down Coltrane Wilder (Y’lan Noel), a charismatic businessman secretly leading a sophisticated crew of thieves in Los Angeles. As Coltrane plans increasingly dangerous heists while trying to maintain his family life, Isaiah\u2019s pursuit becomes deeply personal, pushing both men toward a violent collision. Both sides are soon forced to make impossible choices.<\/p>\n

\u201cRoosters\u201d is a Dutch comedy-drama that recently dropped its second season. After the first season became a surprise international hit for its awkward take on modern masculinity, the new installment doubles down on the \u201cmid-life crisis\u201d chaos. It\u2019s slightly more cringe-comedy this time around though, as the humor stems from the characters trying to use the emotional tools they learned in season 1 (like self-awareness and open communication) in situations where they clearly don’t know how to apply them.<\/p>\n

Season 2 picks up with Mike (Jeroen Spitzenberger), Danny (Waldemar Torenstra), Ivo (Benja Bruijning) and Greg (Andr\u00e9 Dongelmans) trying to rebuild their lives after completing the \u201cRoosters\u201d course that pushed them to rethink their behavior and relationships. Convinced they\u2019ve changed, the four friends attempt to become better partners, fathers and coworkers. However, Mike struggles with unemployment and a crumbling relationship, Danny tries to win back his ex while opening a new restaurant, Ivo questions his marriage, and Greg faces growing tension at home.<\/p>\n

\u2018Devil May Cry\u2019<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cDevil May Cry\u201d didn\u2019t waste time jumping into Netflix\u2019s top 10 after the release of its second season this week. In fact, it\u2019s skipped by \u201cMan on Fire\u201d and \u201cRunning Point\u201d to sit in the No. 3 spot. Following the show\u2019s debut in 2025, this new season seems to deepen the lore while cranking up the stylistic action that fans expect from the Capcom franchise. The consensus for this season is that it\u2019s bigger, louder, and more emotional, telling a more cohesive, character-driven epic.<\/p>\n

The new season begins with Dante (Johnny Yong Bosch) trapped in cryogenic stasis after DARKCOM\u2019s betrayal while a full-scale war erupts between Earth and Hell. As the U.S. government launches a dangerous invasion into the demon realm, Dante is pulled back into battle alongside Lady (Scout Taylor-Compton), who is searching for a powerful artifact tied to her family\u2019s past. At the same time, Dante\u2019s long-lost twin brother Vergil (Robbie Daymond) resurfaces as a servant of the demon king Mundus.<\/p>\n
