Netflix next month (August 2024) plans to add 103 TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup. Here’s the three most interesting, in my humble opinion:

Emily in Paris – Season 4: Part 1 (Netflix Original)
Lily Collins is back as Emily Cooper, the American ingenue who moves to Paris to teach a Parisian marketing firm a few things about American ingenuity. Or so she thinks. Along the way, she encounters irresistible Parisian men, confounding language barriers and other obstacles that only Emily could find. The Netflix original comedy is a feel-good delight with Collins a revelation in the title role; her performance is a throwback to those classic comedic turns from the 1970s (Mary Tyler Moore in The Mary Tyler Moore Show; Marlo Thomas in That Girl, etc.) In season four, part one, Collins’ Emily will set her sights on Gabriel now that he’s single while making a side trip to another confusing land. Five episodes of season four debuts August 15. The second half of season four will premiere on September 12.

The Union (Netflix Original Film)
Mark Wahlberg stars as a New Jersey construction worker when a former girlfriend and now government agent (Halle Berry) inexplicably asks him to participate in a dangerous covert operation. The plot is predictable (not to mention a bit farfetched, even by movie trope standards) but it’s an action and comedy film and Wahlberg and Berry are well trained to handle those genres. Should be fun if you don’t take it too seriously. Debuts August 16.

Joe Rogan: Burn the Boats — Netflix Comedy Special
This host of the hugely popular podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, returns to stand-up comedy with a live performance streamed exclusively on Netflix. Rogan, who often espouses conspiratorial and conservative views, is sure to alienate some here but there’s no doubt he’s a funny guy. And if you’re looking for some post-performance laughs, head over to X where you can read the comments from the alienated crowd. Debuts Saturday, August 3, at 10 p.m. ET.
