There is a LOT to be excited about in May TV and streaming, including the Hulu miniseries “Catch-22” which stars mr George freakin Clooney. And Netflix has a new animated show (Tuca & Bertie) as well as “Dead to Me” which I’m delighted to say brings Christina Applegate back into my life, thank you very much.
And god help me, all you “Bachelorette” maniacs can finally rest easy. Your fix arrives promptly at 8:00 on May 13th.
