A: Not yet. VDO currently streams up to 1080p. However, a 4K Blu-ray box set has been rumored for late 2025.
The title “May Day” is a clever double entendre. On the surface, it refers to the international distress signal (from the French m’aider , meaning “help me”). But within the context of the episode, it also nods to the political turmoil erupting on the first of May — Labor Day — which the writers use as a backdrop for a city-wide blackout and prison break. Episode 4 picks up immediately after the cliffhanger of Episode 3, where Captain Arga (played by the magnetic Joe Taslim) discovers that the weapons smuggling ring they’ve been tracking is linked to a sitting government official. As the team closes in, the antagonist — a shadowy figure only known as “The Dentist” — triggers a coordinated attack on multiple police safe houses.
A: Yes. Character arcs and the main conspiracy build from Episode 1. “May Day” will be confusing as a standalone.
