"3%" Season 2 (Netflix Original Series)
Have you seen the first season of this Brazilian series? It's worth a binge. It's like a dystopian cousin to "The Hunger Games," set in a future where the Inland majority live in poverty while those in the Offshore live in virtual paradise. Only 3 percent of candidates -- at age 20 -- manage to pass a series of tests called The Process to get to the Offshore. In Season 2, available April 27, Process 105 approaches and the Offshore and the Cause are increasingly determined to destroy each other. Here's the Season 2 trailer, which is pretty spoilery for Season 1, if you aren't already caught up.
"Bobby Kennedy for President" (Netflix Original Documentary Series)
Netflix is unmatched for docuseries, and this one -- available April 27 -- looks at Bobby Kennedy's ill-fated, and very brief, run for president in 1968. The 42-year-old's campaign only lasted 83 days before he was assassinated on the night he won the California primary. He was killed less than five years after his older brother, JFK, and just two months after the killing of Martin Luther King, Jr. Here's the documentary series trailer.
"Candy Jar" (Netflix Film)
This comedy, streaming April 27, follows an introverted high school girl (Sami Gayle) from a working-class background who clashes with her wealthy, debate-team nemesis (Jacob Latimore). "But when they're forced to work together to compete in the state championship, they might discover opposites can attract." The stellar supporting cast includes Christina Hendricks, Uzo Aduba, Helen Hunt, and Tom Bergeron. Check out the movie's trailer.
