Starts streaming:<\/strong> May 15<\/p>\nThe comedian and social media content creator Benito Skinner both created and stars in this raunchy campus comedy, about freshmen trying desperately to fit in with their peers \u2014 while hiding their actual personalities and desires. Skinner plays Benny, a former high school athlete who does not want his family or his classmates (or maybe even himself) to realize he\u2019s gay. On the first day of college, Benny meets Carmen (Wally Baram), who is recovering \u2014 poorly \u2014 from a bad breakup. The two bond immediately, but while Carmen thinks she just met her next boyfriend, Benny thinks he has found someone who can pretend to be his girlfriend. \u201cOvercompensating\u201d is set in a broadly comic version of university life, where everyone is sex- and status-obsessed. But Skinner also sincerely explores what it\u2019s like for young people to use a new environment to reinvent themselves.<\/p>\n
\u2018The Better Sister\u2019<\/strong>
Starts streaming:<\/strong> May 29<\/p>\nThis twisty mini-series stars Jessica Biel as Chloe, a rich and successful New York City media mogul who calls the cops from her family\u2019s summer house after her husband, Adam (Corey Stoll), is found murdered. While the homicide detectives Nancy (Kim Dickens) and Matt (Bobby Naderi) investigate the crime, Chloe seems unusually interested in keeping them from learning about certain aspects of her life \u2014 like her strained relationship with her sister Nicky (Elizabeth Banks). Nicky, a reckless free spirit, is also Adam\u2019s ex and the biological mother of Adam and Chloe\u2019s teenage son, Ethan (Maxwell Acee Donovan). Cocreated by Olivia Milch and Regina Corrado, \u201cThe Better Sister\u201d (based on an Alafair Burke novel) is both a mystery with lots of red herrings and the study of a sad sibling rivalry.<\/p>\n

\u2018Deaf President Now!\u2019<\/strong>
Starts streaming:<\/strong> May 16<\/p>\nBack in 1988, Gallaudet University\u2019s students drew international headlines when they shut the college down for a week, angrily rejecting the appointment of yet another hearing president \u2014 at a time when the institution had never had a deaf one. For the documentary \u201cDeaf President Now!,\u201d the Oscar-winning filmmaker Davis Guggenheim (\u201cAn Inconvenient Truth\u201d) and co-director Nyle DiMarco (a Gallaudet alum) have collected rarely seen student-shot footage of those protests, and combined them with news clips, re-creations and fiery new interviews with the campus leaders. The film delivers a fascinating look back at a pivotal moment in civil rights history that doubles as a gripping political thriller, piecing together the details of the demonstration and how, day by day, these courageous young adults turned the tide of public opinion.<\/p>\n
\u2018Murderbot\u2019 Season 1<\/strong>
Starts streaming:<\/strong> May 16<\/p>\nBased on Martha Wells\u2019s \u201cThe Murderbot Diaries\u201d series, this science-fiction comedy stars Alexander Skarsgard as a cyborg who figures out a way to override its programming. This unit \u2014 which secretly names itself Murderbot \u2014 initially plans to kill all humans in the vicinity and flee to freedom. But when it\u2019s assigned to work security for a hippie-dippy scientific commune, the new bosses seem so helpless and harmless that Murderbot figures it\u2019s easier just to do the job and use the copious downtime to indulge in its favorite pastime: binge-watching television. The TV series\u2019 creators, the brothers Chris and Paul Weitz, retain the surprise-filled plotting and futuristic action that have made Wells\u2019s books such a favorite of genre fans. They have also retained the unique personality of the hero, who finds human emotions confusing.<\/p>\n

Starts streaming: <\/strong>May 19<\/p>\nThe actor Stanley Tucci added \u201cpopular travel show host\u201d to his r\u00e9sum\u00e9 in 2021, when CNN debuted \u201cStanley Tucci: Searching for Italy.\u201d After two seasons of that show, Tucci has now taken his act to National Geographic for the similar \u201cTucci in Italy\u201d (which is also available on Disney+ and Hulu).

\u2018Summer of 69\u2019<\/strong>
Starts streaming:<\/strong> May 9<\/p>\nIn this sweet, sexually frank high school comedy, Abby Flores plays a socially awkward senior determined to hook up with her longtime crush, Max (Matt Cornett), before graduation. Completely inexperienced in the art of love, she hires a savvy stripper named Santa Monica (Chloe Fineman) to teach her how to become more confident. Before long, the two become friends, moving beyond the silly superficialities of their business deal and helping each other realize some deeper truths. The \u201cSummer of 69\u201d director Jillian Bell steers a cast of skilled comedians (including Paula Pell, Nicole Byer, Natalie Morales and Charlie Day) through a heartfelt and funny homage to sexy \u201980s movies.<\/p>\n
\u2018Adults\u2019 Season 1<\/strong>
Starts streaming:<\/strong> May 29<\/p>\nThis sitcom follows the well-trod path of shows like \u201cFriends\u201d and \u201cGirls,\u201d following a group of young people living and working in New York, and \u2014 in many ways \u2014 struggling to grow up. The core cast (Malik Elassal, Lucy Freyer, Jack Innanen, Amita Rao and Owen Thiele) is made up of relative unknowns, which is not unusual for this kind of project, where part of the point is to introduce a new generation of future stars. The \u201cAdults\u201d co-creators Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw \u2014 writing partners who have worked on \u201cThe Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon\u201d \u2014 offer lightly absurdists riffs on common 20-something problems like getting ahead at the office, becoming popular on social media and navigating everyday adult responsibilities.<\/p>\n

\u2018Duster\u2019 Season 1<\/strong>
Starts streaming:<\/strong> May 15<\/p>\nSet mostly in Arizona in 1972, this high-energy crime drama stars Josh Holloway as Jim Ellis, a skilled driver who runs errands for one of the most powerful criminal organizations in the American southwest. Rachel Hilson plays Nina Hayes, a rookie F.B.I. agent and the first Black woman in the bureau, who has a personal grudge against the mob\u2019s boss, Ezra Saxton (Keith David). When Nina gets some leverage over Jim, she pressures him into becoming an informant. Soon they are both in danger \u2014 not just from gangsters, but from the bigoted boy\u2019s club that is the F.B.I. Cocreated by LaToya Morgan and J. J. Abrams, \u201cDuster\u201d (named for Jim\u2019s cherry red muscle car) has the retro feel of a \u201970s detective show, but with an HBO level of adult content.<\/p>\n
\u2018Pee-wee as Himself\u2019<\/strong>
Starts streaming:<\/strong> May 23<\/p>\nBefore Paul Reubens died in 2023, the performance artist and comedian, best-known to the world as the antic children\u2019s show host \u201cPee-wee Herman\u201d sat for over 40 hours of interviews with the documentary filmmaker Matt Wolf. Always a private person, Reubens spoke at length for the first time about his childhood, his early years in show business, his reaction to becoming an internationally known star, and the scandal that derailed his career. Throughout the two-part, nearly four-hour \u201cPee-wee as Himself,\u201d Reubens often rebels against the whole idea of revealing himself so openly in a documentary \u2014 but always with a puckish smile, never making it clear whether he is truly upset or just playacting at being difficult. The result is a riveting celebrity profile, where the subject\u2019s competing agendas \u2014 to control what people know about him and to be completely honest \u2014 produce an entertaining tension.<\/p>\n
