The sun is shining! It's been above freezing for multiple days now! Could this be it? Can we collectively burn our parkas and rest our frozen resting b*tch faces?! In many parts of this primo country, we've waited for too long for winter to flee. In other parts, well, we're all potentially moving to Vancouver.
To celebrate the long-awaited arrival of spring, Netflix would like to regale you with some exciting new offerings by way of a number of new series including a few staring some of our faves. Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong play two uh, bird-women in the animated series "Tuca & Bertie"; and for some more hilarious-per-usual Wong, check out "Always Be My Maybe," with Daniel Dae Kim and Canada's own Keanu Reeves. The Harpo-produced Netflix original mini-series, "When They See Us," based on a true story, will also be out in May. And Spike Lee's "She's Gotta Have It" is back for a second season!
