Top 10 Most-Watched List of the Month

May was another month where viewers really got to see Netflix’s commitment to film this year play out. Among the movies that subscribers got to watch on the streamer were the new Zack Snyder splatterfest Army of the Dead, as well as two films that were originally scheduled to go to theaters, The Mitchells vs. The Machines and The Woman in the Window. Those films all made the top 10 most-watched list of the month, as did fellow Netflix originals Oxygen and Things Heard & Seen.

Top 10 most-watched movies on Netflix in May 2021 10. Home (2015) Though Home was originally released in cinemas six years ago, the Dreamworks movie has got a second life on Netflix after the streamer released spin-off series Home: Adventures with Tip & Oh. This has kept the kid’s sci-fi film about the friendship between a young girl and a fugitive from a alien race that has invaded Earth high on parents’ Netflix queues as kids move from show to movie and back again.

Oxygen (2021) Netflix has been surprisingly good at opening up world cinema for viewers, allowing them to get over what Bong Joon-ho once called the one inch barrier of subtitles–though to be fair, we do not know exactly how many people are watching the dubbed versions of Netflix hits like 365 Dni. I Am All Girls (2021) South Africa also had a Netflix hit on its hands in 2021 with I Am All Girls, a story that features two staples of gritty crime dramas: a child sex trafficking ring and a serial killer. The latter is leaving clues to help brings down the former, and a Johannesburg detective has to crack both cases.

Either those worldwide viewers are giving the movie a rewatch, or American families who had penguin fatigue after Happy Feet are discovering it for the first time. Netflix originals like Deadly Illusions and the aforementioned 365 Dni have had big success on the streamer for this reason, and now a more famous erotic thriller is getting in on the action. Two of the top three this month fit this bill.

The Machines (2021) The Woman in The Window, however, had to look on as The Mitchells vs. The Machines took the top spot. Though there is more than a little irony in a film about how we are all obsessed with modern technology being a huge hit among people using Netflix on their many devices, clearly that has not got in the way of people enjoying the move.

What Is Castlevania’S Final Season?

Castlevania and Special are both delivering their final seasons, while Love, Death + Robots, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, and Lucifer, and Who Killed Sara? all return with a new season in May. As for the brand-spankin-new offerings, superhero fans should check out Jupiter’s Legacy, TV Foodies and history enthusiasts will want to add High on the Hog to their watchlist, and anybody who loves a splashy A-list biopic will want to make note of the deliciously extravagant limited series Halston. For me, I’m pretty dang fatigued on superhero deconstruction specifically, at this point, and Jupiter’s Legacy isn’t much of a success in that regard.

I just wish the series spent more time there. A lot of superhero entertainment is either blithely indifferent to superheroes who kill or entirely pessimistic in the assessment of why they do – for me, Jupiter’s Legacy gets back to the root of the dilemma without taking cynicism for granted. And I dug it.

The season kicks off with a short, sweet, highly entertaining bang with Automated Customer Service, a high-action, distinctly stylized survival thriller about a woman in a retirement community served by robots who unexpectedly finds herself fighting for her life against a vaccu-bot gone rogue. From there, the episodes get stranger and more dense, with some deep and dark, some intense tableaus of action, but each is a distinct taste of singular sci-fi storytelling, and while it’ll be fun to debate the best and worst of the bunch, I’d say none of them is an all-out miss.

Whatever gets packed into these episodes will end up playing some role in Season 6, which is said to be the show’s last — but then again, we’ve heard that before (and been happy to be proven wrong about it).
