Streaming Scorecard: May 29, 2026

Two titles are worth your attention this week — one is a genuine comeback, the other a cautionary tale about gender-swap comedies.

Genre: Animated Comedy / Action / Adventure Premiered: May 24, 2026 — new episode weekly (Ep. 2 airs May 31) RT Critics: 100% (9 reviews) · Audience: 89%

The show went through a rough patch after Justin Roiland's departure. Season 9 is critics' unanimous "it's back" moment — reviewers call it "the best the series has been in a while" and praise writing and animation that continue to feel inventive episode to episode. Audience reaction to Ep. 1 is more split: some fans hate the new animation style, others say it's peak fiction. Worth catching up if you dropped off.

Verdict: MUST-WATCH — Check back in on Max.

Genre: Comedy (gender-swap satire) Available since: May 22, 2026 | R · 1h 33m RT Critics: 25% (36 reviews) · Audience: 65%

Sacha Baron Cohen plays an ad exec who wakes up in a world run by women. Rosamund Pike is his foil. The premise borrows from a French original (I Am Not an Easy Man), and critics say the English-language remake doesn't sharpen what was already shaky: "broad stereotypes and rudimentary gender satire." Audiences are softer — some find the role-reversal premise at least useful for starting a conversation, even if the comedy misfires.

Verdict: SKIP — The French original does it better.

Other confirmed new drops on the platform this week include The Rhythm of Revenge S1 (Thai action-drama, ongoing), Reborn S1, and Love Is Blind: Poland S1 — RT scores for these were not yet available at time of publication.
