New on Netflix in May

There is a host of good TV to look forward to this May including the return of the ladies in "Dead To Me" and a brand new series from the man who brought us Glee.

First up is brand new series "HOLLYWOOD" which drops tomorrow (Friday).

A new limited series from Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, HOLLYWOOD follows a group of aspiring actors and filmmakers in post-World War II Hollywood as they try to make it in Tinseltown — no matter the cost. Each character offers a unique glimpse behind the gilded curtain of Hollywood's Golden Age, spotlighting the unfair systems and biases across race, gender and sexuality that continue to this day. Provocative and incisive, HOLLYWOOD exposes and examines decades-old power dynamics, and what the entertainment landscape might look like if they had been dismantled.
