We're seeing quite a few documentaries this week including two about marine creatures, good news for people who like the natural world. Later in the week there are more dramas though.
So let's find you something new to watch on streaming services this week...
The Eternaut — Netflix
- Netflix Argentine sci-fi arrives on Wednesday, April 30
Starting off the week is a Netflix sci-fi thriller coming from Argentina, and based on a series of comic books. In true Netflix style, all episodes of The Eternaut land on the same day: Wednesday, April 30.
The Eternaut is set in a post-apocalyptic world after a mysterious toxic snowfall kills most of the people on Earth. The survivors learn that this is just the beginning, as it was the advance attack from an invading species, and their only hope to stop the offensive is by banding together.
Careme — Apple TV Plus
- Apple TV Plus historical drama debuts on Wednesday, April 30
The latest Apple TV Plus historical drama takes us to France (like the last few of them, in fact) to meet Antonin Careme, who Apple calls "the world's first celebrity chef". The series debuts on Wednesday, April 30 with two episodes, before new ones are released to the streamer weekly.
Careme follows the life and times of Antonin, who in 19th Century Paris dreamed of being a star in the cooking world. However the politicians of the time have other plans, and Apple's synopsis mentions revenge, love and an escape from poverty as various motivations for the man and his quest.
Suspect: The Shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes — Disney Plus
- Disney Plus real-life drama arrives on Friday, April 2
Another historical drama based on a true story now (albeit one from the mid-noughties), Suspect: The Shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes comes to Disney Plus on Wednesday, April 30. For now, it's only coming to the streamer in the UK, but hopefully we'll hear it coming to the US soon too.
The show tells the story of a terror attack in 2005 in London and the manhunt that followed, which resulted in the death of Jean Charles de Menezes, a totally innocent man who had nothing to do with the attack. We see the events and then the family's attempts to get justice, while the police faces turmoil as a result of the shooting.
100 Foot Wave season 3
- Max surfing documentary returns from Thursday, May 1
Our sole documentary for the month is 100 Foot Wave which enjoys its third season this week. Episodes arrive weekly on Max (as well as HBO) from Thursday, May 1 for five weeks. No word on a UK release.
100 Foot Wave is about American surfer Garrett McNamara and his quest to surf a 100-foot wave at the Nazaré beach in Portugal. Along the way he surfs at some of the biggest and best spots in the world, alongside other top surfers, and tries to increase the profile of Nazaré along the way.
The Four Seasons — Netflix
- Netflix romantic drama releases on Thursday, May 1
Netflix's latest star-studded TV show is The Four Seasons, which comes out on Thursday, April 1. It counts Steve Carell, Tina Fey, Colman Domingo and Will Forte amongst its cast, and is a remake of a 1981 movie of the same name.
Set across four seasons, and specifically a holiday during each one, the show follows three long-term couples as one of them breaks up. Over a year we see how the group takes this news over the short and long term, and how it affects the couples and individuals as a result.
