Let's be honest here: Amazon Prime Video doesn't have a lot going on this month. The list of new releases on Prime Video and Freevee is light on both the movies and TV shows front, and we have only two highlights: the Freevee original comedy Primo, from writer Shea Serrano, and a Prime Video stand-up comedy special from funny guy Jimmy O. Yang. 

Below, you'll find our picks for the best shows and movies to watch on Amazon Prime Video in May, as well as the full list of everything coming to Prime Video and Freevee, the free service that's accessible through Prime Video but doesn't require Prime membership.

Jimmy O. Yang: Guess How Much? (May 2, Prime Video)

Actor/comedian Jimmy O. Yang (Silicon Valley, Love Hard) gets back on stage to tell some jokes, this time taking aim at his loser friends, "love languages," and Asian parents. Prime Video is getting into the comedy game pretty hard, with three standup specials this month from Yang, Tommy Little (May 5), and Zarna Garg (May 16). [Trailer]

Primo (May 19, Freevee)

Writer Shea Serrano gets his own show to wrestle with his childhood in this coming-of-age comedy following a teenager who was raised by his mother and five uncles in San Antonio. [Trailer]
