May preview: 4 TV shows you need to watch this month
Each month we look at the most-anticipated televison shows. Scroll down to learn more.
Master of None (May 12, Netflix)
Master of None's first season was a confident, succinct and hilarious story of a man looking for love, and the best tacos, in New York City. And just when we thought he had succeeded in doing so, the finale finds Aziz Ansari's Dev and Noël Wells' Rachel heading in separate directions, literally, as the latter heads to Japan and the former ends up on a flight to Italy. Season 2, as we've seen from many of Ansari's Instagram posts, finds Dev living it up in Italy, eating the finest pastas, enjoying picturesque pool parties and, yes, going on many dates. But is Dev happy with his decision to choose Italy over Rachel? Only way to find out is tune in. — Melody Lau
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (May 19, Netflix)
Last season on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Kimmy discovered that she's legally married to her captor, Rev. Richard Wayne Gary Wayne (Jon Hamm). This season, she not only has to deal with trying to file for divorce but she's also going to college. Kimmy may still be catching up on the life experiences she missed out on when she was trapped in a bunker, but this whip-smart comedy moves fast with its jokes and plot lines. Elsewhere on the show, Lillian deals with a tough breakup, Jacqueline continues to fight for her socialite status in New York and Titus confronts a cheating boyfriend in the most logical way possible: by dressing up as Beyoncé in Lemonade and smashing the man's car window. — Melody Lau
Twin Peaks, (May 21, Showtime)
"I'll see you again in 25 years" was Laura Palmer's line in the final episode of the first iteration of Twin Peaks in 1991 and while it's slightly off by a year, the reboot of possibly the weirdest show ever to be broadcast on network television, created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, finally comes back later this month. Little is known about the new series except that it features many of the show's original cast with a heap of eyebrow-raising names like Canadians Michael Cera and Hugh Dillon and A-list movie stars like Naomi Watts. Showtime will begin airing the first of 18 new episodes, all directed by Lynch, on May 21. — Del Cowie
Tracy Morgan: Staying Alive (May 16, Netflix)
This Staying Alive concert special marks Tracy Morgan's return to comedy after a car crash nearly claimed his life in 2014. In the interim, a reminder of Morgan's comic gift was served up in a brief scene-stealing appearance in Chris Rock's Top Five, filmed before the crash. For this Netflix special, and as the title implies, Morgan focuses on the long road to recovery from his accident. And while it's destined to have its share of sobering moments, there's no way, given Morgan's track record, that we won't be laughing, too. — Del Cowie
