What to watch on Netflix this week — May 3 through May 9

And so begins another week of (mostly) staying at home. It is what it is, of course. But the good news is that Netflix in May is a pretty busy month, and it all starts this week.

First up is the one and only Jerry Seinfeld, who's back on Tuesday with a new stand-up special. We'd tell you what it's about, but it's Seinfeld — you already know what it's about.

Then on Wednesday, it's the long-awaited documentary Becoming , from former First Lady Michelle Obama as it goes behind the scenes on her 34-city book tour. And Becoming gets you closer than ever before.

Also on Wednesday it's a completely different sort of badass group of women, with Season 4 of the Canadian import Workin' Moms . They're still so wrong, but also not that wrong.

And on Friday, tucked amid a sea of Netflix originals, comes Season 2 of the excellent Dead to Me with Christina Applegate, Linda Cardellini and James Marsden.

So, yeah. It's a busy week. Keep on reading for the full Netflix schedule May 3-9.
