Streaming Guide May 12 – May 18
Highlights
Master of None: Season 2 (Netflix, May 12)
The second season of Master of None picks up three months after the first season finale. Dev (Aziz Ansari) is in Modena, Italy finishing his pasta making apprenticeship, and returns to New York at the end of episode 2. The second season takes Dev through the question of religion, getting back into the New York dating scene, and trying to find the next perfect meal. Do not watch on an empty stomach
I Love Dick (Amazon Prime Video, May 12)
Adapted from the cult classic, I Love Dick is set in a colourful intellectual community in Marfa, Texas. Chris (Kathryn Hahn, Transparent) and Sylvere (Griffin Dunne, Dallas Buyers Club), arrive in Marfa when Sylvere is offered a fellowship to finish a book he’s been writing on the Holocaust. When they meet Dick (Kevin Bacon), he taunts their imaginations and upends their preconceptions about love and monogamy. An exploration of the female gaze and how we tell stories about love and desire, I Love Dick charts the evolution of a marriage, the awakening of an artist and the deification of a writer named Dick.
This Isn’t Funny (Stan, May 15)
Eliot (Katie Page) and Jamie (Paul Ashton) are experts in self-sabotage. After they meet, their chemistry is undeniable, so the only sensible response seems to be running in the opposite direction. But sometimes meeting the right person at the wrong time can be the best thing that ever happened to you.
Fargo: Season 3, Episode 1 (SBS On Demand, Available Now)
Oh yah, the third season premiere of Fargo is available on SBS OnDemand ahead of its television premiere next week. In 2010, a petty rivalry between two brothers (both played by Ewan McGregor) escalates and brings chaos to a small Minnesotan community.
