10 of the best TV shows to watch this May

From the new comedy of Tina Fey’s relationship to a drama of action of Lost’s creator and the return of Sarah Jessica Parker and company in the third season of the sequel to Sex and The City.

Tine Fey stars in and co-co-created this comedy about three couples, friends for a long time with sufficient income available to vacation together four times a year through different seasons. As in the 1981 film on which it is based, everyone is shaken when a couple is directed for divorce. Fey and Will Forte play one of the couples. Colman Domingo and Marco Calvani are another, a turn of the same sex that is the most obvious update of ’81. And Steve Carell plays a man who leaves his wife (Kerri Kenney-Silver) for a younger woman (Erika Henningen), a timeless part of the plot. Fey has called the program “A love letter to long -term relations, both Platonic and romantic”, adding: “I hope the public feels that they are inside a great sweater with us and also have a dinner with us.” So, if you like dinners in thick sweaters, this is the show for you.

Retro television is having a moment with the face of the poker and this action drama set in 1972 in the southwest of the United States. JJ Abrams is an executive producer and, together with Latoya Morgan, wrote the first two episodes of the series, starring Josh Holloway, even better known as Abrams’s Sawyer of Abrams’s Lost, as an Enlave driver union. Rachel Hilson plays the first agent of the Black FBI, who pursues him, with Keith David as head of the union. In addition to the history of cat and mouse crime and possible vacilating loyalties, Duster has fights with knives, turned cars and dust everywhere. Abrams told The Hollywood Reporter that the series arose because “he had this image of a telephone cabin in the middle of the desert and a car he was driving, and a guy got on the phone to find where he was Meeean to go next.” That became a program that calls “a crazy story” with humor, absurd and many plot turns.

Duster premieres May 15 in Max in the US.

Television is full of science fiction series, but it has a comic touch and Alexander Skarsgård, like a robot that manages to hack its own system and become rogue. “I am a security unit,” he announces in his cheerful voice off. “I was built to protect and obey humans. And humans are idiots.” Chris and Paul Weitz (on a child) created the program, based on Martha Wells’s book series, The Murderbot Diaries, and have given him a style of mirror mirror Runner-Mets-Black-Black. Althegh, the robot title, calls Itelf Murderbot, does not really want to kill anyone. He prefers to sit in his favorite show, The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon, a series of series with John Cho and Jack McBrayer playing the protagonists. When he lands on a new planet, his social discomfort creates a very human problem, what he does, Skarsgård told Empire Magazine: “More relatable than most of the characters I have played.” Of course, he has played Tarzan and a vampire, so related is something relative.

The new season puts it where the last one ended, in a new apartment and testing a long -distance relationship with Aiden (John Corbett).

Fizzle.
