After the first week of May in which no less than 100 releases were brought together, all the VOD platforms slow down their rate of releases a bit this second week of the month -normal, with everything that is pending to be seen. But that does not mean that there are no new movies and series to watch. On the contrary: there are premieres and very interesting ones:
On Netflix we have the premiere of Lincoln’s Lawyer. Season 1 – Friday the 13th – After an accident, famed Los Angeles attorney Mickey Haller restarts his career (and his branded car) when he takes on a murder case. Y The empire of ostentation. Season 1 – Some (really) rich and partying Asian and Asian-American friends from Los Angeles take the parties, glamor and drama to maximum power in this reality show.
And HBO Max conversations between friends, series based on the homonymous novel written by Sally Rooney, and that focuses on the life of Frances and her best friend, Bobbi. Their relationship begins to crack little by little when they begin to get closer to the writer Melissa and her husband Nick.
In Amazon Prime Video we have Lola Indigo. The girl: Lola Indigo has one of the most important appointments of her career ahead of her. For any artist, without a doubt, a concert that would be the definitive step in achieving a dream: to be a music star. But Lola Indigo is not just any artist. Behind that mass idol figure hides Mimi, a woman determined to leave her mark since she was a child and who likes to face her career in a different way, giving importance to the things that truly deserve it.
One of the most outstanding premieres of the week is Disney+ with how i met your father, a spin off / sequel derived from the popular series that tells the story of how Sophie (Hilary Duff) met the father of her child. Keeping the same proposal although changing the point of view, only time will tell if it has the same success and duration as the original.
Y Sneakerella: Cenicienta en Zapatillas, a twist to the concept of Cinderella, only reversing the roles a bit and updating it to a current environment in which mobile phones, social networks and MET-type galas are the background of the story.
