Netflix New Releases for May 2017

It's finally happened. Fly the flags at half-mast. Scrubs is coming off of Netflix. Try another letter-writing campaign if you you but this least seems fairly definitive. Scrubs seasons 1-9 will be departing on May 2. It was a good run, Sacred Heart.

Thankfully, Netflix has a pretty astonishing array of other movies and TV shows coming in May to balance things out. New seasons of Netflix original TV shows like House of Cards, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Master of None all debut in May. And then there are some shockingly great recent movie classics like Forrest Gump and Inglourious Basterds. Hopefully all that is enough to make up for the loss of Dr. John Dorian and friends.

Before we get into the Netflix new releases for April, we have streaming suggestions for you:
