OPINION: August looks like a good month for streaming, writes mmmmurf -- Netflix may finally have quality to match its quantity, Hulu has intriguing new shows with Nicole Kidman and Steve Martin, and we get 'Ted Lasso' every week.
The end of summer is nigh, and with back-to-school and back-to-the-office costs rising, no one needs to be overpaying for too many streaming services.
Here’s a look at what’s coming to the various streaming services in August 2021, and what’s really worth the monthly subscription fee. div.youtube { height:0; position:relative; padding-bottom:56.25%; } div.youtube > iframe { position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; } For the younger crowd, there are “The Kissing Booth 3” , the third and final installment of the popular teen-romance movie series starring Joey King, and “He’s All That” , a gender-flipped reboot of the ’90s teen rom-com “She’s All That,” as a high school influencer is tasked with turning a loser into the prom king.
div.youtube { height:0; position:relative; padding-bottom:56.25%; } div.youtube > iframe { position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; } In a lighter vein, there’s “Only Murders in the Building” , a comedy/mystery series starring Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez as true-crime enthusiasts who find themselves wrapped up in a real-life whodunit as they try to solve a grisly murder in their ritzy Manhattan apartment building.
Play, pause or stop? Play. Hulu already has a strong TV library, and this month’s additions are top-notch, including many ABC, NBC and Fox fall premieres streaming the day after their air. Who’s Apple TV+ for? It offers a little something for everyone, but not necessarily enough for anyone. div.youtube { height:0; position:relative; padding-bottom:56.25%; } div.youtube > iframe { position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; } On the series side, it’s a bit light — relatively speaking. A new season of HBO’s annual NFL behind-the-scenes docuseries “Hard Knocks” kicks off Aug. 10, focusing on the Dallas Cowboys this year. Issa Rae is producing a new unscripted series, “Sweet Life: Los Angeles” , chronicling a circle of young, Black friends in L.A.
On the movie front, which Paramount+ has really bulked up this summer, there’s “Mission: Impossible — Fallout” and “Rogue Nation,” “As Good As It Gets,” “Shane,” “Thelma & Louise” and much more. It’s a fairly slow month for Disney+, with the biggest release being “Cruella” — the Emma Stone “101 Dalmations”-villainess origin story that premiered in May for an additional $30 fee will now be free for all subscribers.
Play, pause or stop? Stop. There’s some decent stuff on the way, so it’s not like your subscription money would be entirely wasted, but none of it is compelling enough to demand your dollars this month. They’ll be around to watch later. There are also fresh episodes every week of “Making the Cut,” the fashion competition hosted by Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum. While Season 2 has streamlined a bit, to its benefit, it still lacks the drama and fast pacing of “Project Runway.”Some good movies are coming too, such as “Jaws,” “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” and “Aliens” and “In Bruges” .

Fauci hopes U.S. regulators fully approve COVID-19 shots by mid-AugustTop U.S. infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci said on Friday he hopes U.S. regulators could as soon as the middle of next month start granting full approval for the use of COVID-19 vaccines, which already are authorized on an emergency basis. Formal approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration would give physicians the ability to prescribe a third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine to people with weakened immune systems on an off-label basis, Fauci said during an interview with Reuters. Pfizer Inc and BioNTech SE as well as Moderna Inc have filed with the FDA to ask for full approval for their two-dose vaccines.
