Some of the shows fantastical elements (the musical number Sarah imagines as she tries to impress potential investors) work better than others (repeated cuts to Sarah and Addie fighting in a shadowy boxing ring), but Madam C.J. Walkers story is one that deserves to be told on a large platform.

Feel Good

Starts streaming: March 19

Given the recent trend for small-screen redemption arcs (hello BoJack Horseman and The Good Place), there is something reassuring about the slow progress being made by the characters in Feel Good. This is the debut show from the comedian Mae Martin, whom you may recognize from her very good set on Netflixs Comedians of the World. She plays Mae, who is also a comedian, also a Canadian living in London and also a recovering addict. Mae meets George (Charlotte Ritchie), whos never dated a woman before and looks like Englands rose, according to Mae. After only a few weeks, the pair are living together. But George resists coming out to her family and friends, Mae tries to hide her addiction, and it doesnt seem to be getting any easier. How toxic of a relationship is too toxic to endure? The same question is posed to Maes relationship with her mother, played by the scene-stealing Lisa Kudrow.

Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution

Starts streaming: March 25

Im always on the hunt for new documentaries that arent about murder, cults or murder and cults, so I was excited to see this Netflix production executive-produced by Barack and Michelle Obama. We meet the campers and counselors of Camp Jened, a camp in the Catskills for teenagers with disabilities, in the summer of 1971. With long hair and longer sideburns, the kids play sports and lounge around smoking cigarettes, playing guitar and flirting. But the normalcy of this teenage leisure time is quite radical when its available to people who live for the rest of the year in a world not built for them. We helped empower each other that the status quo is not what it needed to be, says Judy Heumann, a counselor who went on to found the advocacy group Disabled in Action. As 70s countercultural persuasions dovetailed with the civil rights movements of the era, Jened alumni started creating change on a national scale for people with disabilities.
