Even in May the new releases of Prime Video will force you to make difficult choices, so here we are to help you with streaming advice for this week. First of all, we point out the new upcoming episodes of The Boys 5 and The House of Spirits, and then for those looking for a compelling TV series, we remind you of the (somewhat modest) release of Citadel 2, with the return of the spies from the first season (below you will find the link to the summary of last season’s finale). If instead you want to see a film, the Italian romantic comedy It’s Not a Country for Singles arrives on Friday 8th. Finally, as always, we have chosen some films not to be missed in the expiring titles section: the choice is yours, happy viewing and have a good week.

Adaptation of the bestseller of the same name by record-breaking author Felicia Kingsley set in the idyllic Belvedere in Chianti, a Tuscan town where everyone is in a couple or looking for a soul mate, except Elisa (Matilde Gioli), a single mother who raises her teenage daughter (Margherita Rebeggiani) and manages the Le Giuggiole estate with her sister Giada (Amanda Campana) and mother Mariana (Cecilia Dazzi). The return to the village of Michele (Cristiano Caccamo), a childhood friend whom he had lost sight of for years, turns his life upside down and awakens new and unexpected feelings. But Michele, a successful financial consultant with a life made of professional and sentimental conquests, has not returned by chance: when his uncle, owner of Le Giuggiole, suddenly dies, leaving it as an inheritance to him and his brother Carlo (Sebastiano Pigazzi), the opportunity presents itself to sell and obtain the coveted promotion. Elisa, on the other hand, would like to transform the estate into the farm she has always dreamed of, but Michele could put everything at risk.
