3 Must-Watch Netflix Shows Leaving in May 2024 Before They’re Gone

Netflix’s May 2024 Exodus: 3 Shows You Need to Watch Before They’re Gone

Netflix is preparing to remove several notable titles from its library in May 2024. Among them are a sharp comedy co-created by former Saturday Night Live stars, a true crime drama from Bravo, and a short-lived but powerful drama starring Bryan Cranston. Here are the three shows you should binge before they leave the platform.

1. ‘Documentary Now!’ (2015) – Leaves May 9

All four seasons of IFC’s ‘Documentary Now!’ will depart Netflix on May 9, 2024. Created by Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, Seth Meyers, and Rhys Thomas, the series parodies iconic documentaries in each episode, hosted by Helen Mirren. The show blends sharp satire, celebrity cameos, and stylistic homages to deliver a uniquely hilarious and niche comedy experience.

The series thrives on its deep cuts and absurdity, making it equally enjoyable for viewers familiar with the parodied documentaries and those discovering them for the first time. Its departure marks the end of a decade-defining comedy.

2. ‘Dirty John’ (2018) – Leaves May 31

Bravo’s ‘Dirty John’, a true crime anthology, will leave Netflix on May 31, 2024. The first season, starring Connie Britton, Eric Bana, Juno Temple, Julia Garner, and Jean Smart, tells the true story of con man John Meehan. The second season features Amanda Peet, Christian Slater, and Rachel Keller in the infamous case of Betty Broderick’s murders.

With only two seasons, the show is a perfect binge for true crime enthusiasts. Its gripping storytelling and strong performances make it a must-watch before it vanishes.

3. ‘Your Honor’ (2020) – Leaves May 31

Showtime’s ‘Your Honor’, based on an Israeli series, will also leave Netflix on May 31, 2024. The drama stars Bryan Cranston as a respected New Orleans judge whose life unravels after his son is involved in a fatal car accident. Cranston’s performance anchors this tense, morally complex narrative.

Despite its short run, the series delivers a powerful drama that deserves attention before it’s removed from the platform.

Don’t miss your chance to watch these three standout shows before they’re gone from Netflix in May 2024.
