New on Netflix Australia: Top Picks of May 2024

Blue Mountain State

Yes, all three seasons of the cult hit sports sitcom are finally returning to Netflix’s Aussie streaming catalogue.

For the uninitiated: at face value, it seems as though Blue Mountain State is nothing more than dumb frat bro fodder: think Animal House, Van Wilder, and American Pie meets Friday Night Lights. And don’t get me wrong — a good chunk of the storylines/punchlines involve the holy trinity of campus life (sex, drugs, partying).

But stick around a little longer and it reveals Community-esque levels of writing that both subtly and not-so-subtly takes the mickey out of familiar film and TV tropes, in addition to the iconic flicks you’ve likely come across throughout the years. We’re talking parodies of everything from Silence of the Lambs to Training Day in digestible, and at times surprisingly high-brow, half-hour bites.

Blue Mountain State follows the red-hot exploits of the eponymous college’s football team, the Mountain Goats, as they stumble through their tertiary education doing the absolute bare minimum — there’s an entire episode where the nerds who do the player’s homework attempt to unionise — while simultaneously pushing everything else to the absolute limits (see: season 1 episode 6 — ‘Drug Olympics’).

The cast is led by Darin Brooks as the Mountain Goats’ reserve quarterback, Alex Moran, who’s your classic charming, laconic, and low-effort archetype; alongside Alan Ritchson as team captain and linebacker, Thad Castle, who is perhaps one of the effortlessly funniest television characters of the 21st century (a potent combination of dull, high-maintenance, with just a dash of heart).

Bonus: the feature-length movie Rise of Thadland is also scheduled to return. Perhaps this answers our questions about where the sequel series will soon land…

Tires

Fresh off his well-received Netflix comedy special and hosting Saturday Night Live as the ultimate act of revenge, Shane Gillis now has a Netflix comedy series.

Based on his web series pilot of the same name — see: above — Tires follows Will (Steve Gerben), the anxious and seemingly unqualified heir of an auto repair chain, as he attempts to turn his dad’s business around despite constant torture from his cousin and now employee: Shane (Shane Gillis).

How bloody good.

The Gentlemen (Film)

Mickey Pearson (Matthew McConaughey) is an American expatriate who became rich by building a highly profitable marijuana empire in London. When word gets out that he’s looking to cash out of the business, it soon triggers an array of plots and schemes — including bribery and blackmail — from shady characters who want to steal his domain.

Now that you’ve binged through the series, revisit the movie that inspired it all.

How Are Things Looking For Netflix Australia In May 2024?

The crimson N finished 2023 strong with both original and licensed content, i.e. Bradley Cooper’s Maestro, The Crown season 6 (Part 2) | Everything Everywhere All At Once, Top Gun: Maverick.

Now, they’re easing into 2024 with a quality > quantity mindset.

In May 2024, Netflix Australia is delivering the goods with a whole lot of highly bingable licensed content.

Suffice it to say, there’s plenty on the streaming service to help justify that Netflix subscription price. Especially now that the company has started cracking down on password sharing.
