Another month means another bumper crop of new Netflix movies and shows – including the eagerly anticipated epic finale to the fourth season of Stranger Things.
But the sci-fi blockbuster isn't the only thing the streaming platform has to offer, with more fab films, documentaries, stand-up shows and TV series than you can shake a very big stick at.
For starters there's four thrilling instalments of the dark fantasy Underworld horror franchise, where Kate Beckinsale and chums are caught up in a thrilling war between vampires and werewolves.
And speaking of blood, prepare to see plenty of it in Cult of Chucky, as the titular demonic doll wreaks his unpleasant revenge on a horde of old enemies.
If that's a little unpalatable then Italian romance movie Under the Amalfi Sun could be more your style, whisking you away to a truly gorgeous part of the country.
Elswhere there's The Most Hated Man on the Internet, about one mum's crusade against a self-proclaimed “professional life ruiner” - and mastermind behind a notorious ‘revenge porn’ hub. Or there's thought-provoking drama The Father, which sees Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman star in this touching tale about an older man struggling to deal with his advancing years.
Throw in a load of comedy gold such as the latest from American stand-up Bill Burr , fun kids' shows like Barbie and a whole raft of intriguing documentaries from space flight to surfing and July's Netflix offering is as hot as the weather!
