While a majority of the world is currently in quarantine due to the Corona Virus, many are looking for new forms of entertainment. For many, these new forms of entertainment look to distract them from the harsh reality of everyday life. At the moment, Netflix, Hulu, TikTok, Disney Plus, and video games dominate the corona fueled entertainment. With binge-watching and eating on the rise, streaming services are rushing to put out new content. In April, Money Heist, Tiger King, Ozark, and The Outer Banks dominated Netflix. On the other hand, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Doom Eternal, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and Resident Evil 3 Remake dominated consoles. What will the May 2020 Netflix Releases be? Find out!
