Stalked (Neon, May 4)<\/p>\n
Fronted by mental health advocate and social media star Jazz Thornton, the powerful three-part local docuseries Stalked spotlights the experiences of Jazz, Zeni and Tessa, three women whose lives have been profoundly affected by stalking. Directed by the award-winning Justin Hawkes, the series will shine \u201can unflinching light on the early warning signs of stalking, the patterns of obsession and escalation, and the systemic failings that have left victims unprotected, often until violence erupts.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Brokenwood Mysteries (TVNZ+, May 10)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Get ready to return to the fictional town of Brokenwood, as\u00a0one of New Zealand\u2019s biggest television exports<\/a> is back for a 12th season. Neil Rea\u2019s detective senior sergeant Mike Shepherd and Fern Sutherland\u2019s detective Kristin Sims are back to investigate such lethal oddities as an attempted alien abduction and a surfing priest with a dark history, in the town that just can\u2019t stop hosting homicides. The curious cases at the heart of The Brokenwood Mysteries might not make sense, but it\u2019s still the most \u201ccomforting New Zealand show on television<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Marlon Williams: Ng\u0101 Ao E Rua \u2013 Two Worlds (M\u0100ORI+, May 4)<\/p>\n With NZ Music month in full swing, there\u2019s no better time to join Marlon Williams on his journey to write Te Whare T\u012bwekaweka, his award-winning album entirely in te reo M\u0101ori. Directed by Ursula Grace Williams, this deeply personal story of reconnection with whakapapa is also surprisingly funny and frank \u2013 just wait till you see The Toenail. \u201cBut don\u2019t be fooled by the light touch of the filmmaker, or Williams goofing around with a punching bag,\u201d I wrote last year<\/a>. \u201cThis is a brave, essential and joyous film that couldn\u2019t have arrived at a better time. Much more than another music documentary, it feels like quietly witnessing a piece of history.\u201d \/ Alex Casey<\/p>\n Legends (Netflix, May 7)<\/p>\n Created by Neil Forsyth, \u201cone of the UK\u2019s most gifted writers<\/a>,\u201d the arresting Legends follows a group of run-of-the-mill British Customs officers who are plucked from their mundane positions and given a top-secret mission. They\u2019re to embody their newly-created identities, infiltrate the country\u2019s most dangerous drug gangs, and take them down from the inside. With an ensemble cast that includes Tom Burke, Steve Coogan, and Hayley Squires, the Line of Duty-like Legends is one for lovers of binge-worthy British crime dramas.<\/p>\n Remarkably Bright Creatures (Netflix, May 8)<\/p>\n The heartwarming Remarkably Bright Creatures features Oscar-winning Sally Field as Tova, an elderly widow who forms an unlikely bond with a giant Pacific octopus and Lewis Pullman as Cameron, a wayward young man. Together, in the tight-knit coastal community of Deep Cove, they \u201cuncover a mystery that will lead them to a life-changing discovery and restore their sense of wonder<\/a>.\u201d Arriving just in time for Mother\u2019s Day, this life-affirming dramedy will warm the cockles of your heart.<\/p>\n The Terror: Devil in Silver (Neon, May 8)<\/p>\n In The Terror: Devil in Silver, Dan Stevens is Pepper, an outgoing man from Queens who is wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital, an institution that may be home to the Devil himself. Based on the Victor LaValle novel of the same name, the third instalment of the acclaimed horror anthology (and the first to be set in the modern day) is a \u2018\u2019true-blue psychological thriller<\/a>\u201d that is bound to make your blood run cold.<\/p>\n Pick of the Flicks: The Drama (AroVision, May 6)<\/p>\n Produced by Hereditary director Ari Aster and helmed by Norwegian provocateur Kristoffer Borgli, The Drama is a \u201crare star-driven film that is willing to tackle big ideas, ask big questions and cause big discomfort<\/a>.\u201d The premise of the daring film is best kept under wraps, but here\u2019s the short of it: Zendaya and Robert Pattinson play a soon-to-be-married couple whose blissful relationship starts to unravel when a shocking secret from the past comes to light. The Drama, a deliciously disquieting \u201cfilm with no right answers.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n The rest<\/p>\n Netflix<\/p>\n Dr. Seuss\u2019s Horton!
