One of the key reasons why Netflix remains the No. 1 streamer is that it carefully curates its programming to include original series and older shows that were originally shown on cable or broadcast networks. Earlier this year, Netflix added Dexter to its lineup, followed by Lost in July. Now, Prison Break has come to the streamer, and it’s our pick for the one Netflix show that you need to stream this August.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Netflix is extra busy when it comes to the release of new documentaries and docuseries this month, with (by my count, at least) four worth watching as opposed to the normal one or two we get over the same time period.
In a typical month, it feels like the streamer doesn’t tend to give us very many that I’d categorize as must-watch. Some that do fit that bill which have been released this year include titles like What Jennifer Did, Simone Biles: Rising, and The Greatest Night in Pop. The new docs that Netflix subscribers can enjoy starting this month, meanwhile,...
