Though it has some stiff competition, August is going to sneak up on Netflix subscribers this summer as one of the best months for new content in 2018. Whether you prefer classic movies and TV shows or like to plow through Netflix original series, there’s something for you to watch just about every other day in August, from massive blockbusters like Batman Begins and No Country for Old Men to returning shows like Ozark.
Every month has a healthy heaping of duds, but the ratio of quality content to filler is surprising balanced in the weeks to come. July may have been somewhat of an off month for the streaming service, but as we alternate between rain storms and scorching heat, there’s no better time to stay inside and binge.
