We might not be able to enjoy the May flowers at the moment, but we can partake of the month’s other bounty: TV premieres. The pandemic’s impact on productions means that streamers like Netflix, Apple TV+, Amazon, and Hulu—not to mention the soon-to-launch HBO Max—dominate the schedule, ready to deploy stories about Tinseltown, comedy specials from marquee names, and an ersatz Hamilton mini-reunion in animated form. But networks like TNT, HBO, The CW, and yes, even PBS still have plenty of appealing options. Let The A.V. Club’s monthly preview guide you from Hollywood to Central Park and, for the especially brave of heart (or just fans of Greg Daniels), the afterlife.
