Amazon next month (July 2023) plans to add 115 new TV shows and movies to its Prime Video streaming lineup. Here are the four most interesting in my humble opinion.
The Summer I Turned Pretty, Season Two
The first season of the teen romcom was a hit with a 91 percent approval rating at Rotten Tomatoes. In season two, Belly (Lola Tung) is still trying to decide which boy she really loves but her priorities should change when her friend’s Mom is diagnosed with cancer. Debuts July 14.
Good Omens, Season Two
The Amazon original comedy is back with Michael Sheen as the fussy angel and rare book dealer who befriends a demon, played by David Tennant. If that’s not enough for you, Jon Hamm (Mad Men) joins the fun this season as the Archangel Gabriel who shows up expectedly at the bookstore with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Debuts July 28.
80 For Brady
80 For Brady stars Jane Fonda, Sally Field, Rita Moreno and Lily Tomlin as four lifelong friends who set out on a journey to watch their favorite quarterback, Tom Brady, play in the Super Bowl. Before you run under the covers, or go into a Cover 3 defense, Rottentomatoes.com, which tracks critical reviews, gives the movie a score of 58, which means it can’t be too bad and perhaps even a decent diversion for a serious football fan. Debuts July 4.
Knock at the Cabin
Knock at the Cabin, the M. Night Shyamalan thriller that’s made more than $54 million worldwide, stars Dave Bautista (Dune, Guardians of the Galaxy franchise) as a mysterious stranger who kidnaps a family in the wild because he says visions have told him to. The intrigue escalates when he’s joined by three others who have experienced the same visions. If you love the weirdness of M. Night Shyamalan, you’ll love this movie. Debuts July 25.
