Normally, Netflix is unloading their extensive summer slate around this time, but Amazon’s proving there’s more than one streaming platform bringing us some of the best in TV and film this year. The online retail giant has slowly been building its entertainment library over the years, churning out original series and housing some of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters.
Come July, if you’re an Amazon Prime member (and really, who isn’t these days), there will be more titles than ever to keep you comfortably seated in front of your television set. From quality cable dramas to sci-fi rom-coms, terrifyingly silent horror films and a bunch of classics squeezed in for good measure, here are some of the best offerings from Amazon for the month of July:
The Americans: Season 6 (7/29)
The Americans follows Russian spies (Keri Russell and Mathew Rhys) posing as a married couple living in America, and while the missions are enjoyable, and the glimpse into the early 1980s is fascinating, the real pull in this show is the relationship drama, both between the married spies — who are often pulled between their love for one another and their love of country — an FBI agent (Noah Emmerich) who is pulled between his own relationship with his family and country, and the children of the Russian spies, pulled between their family and their love of America. Well-crafted, engrossing, and hypnotic, The Americans is one of best shows to exist on TV and it managed to pull off the impossible with its sixth and final season — giving fans a satisfying ending that more than lived up to expectations.
How To Talk To Girls At Parties (7/24)
This alien rom-com from Neil Gaiman and John Cameron Mitchell is poised to become a cult favorite amongst the sci-fi crowd. The film follows a young kid exploring the underground punk scene in 1970s London before meeting his alien crush, a girl named Zan (Elle Fanning) who takes him on an otherworldly adventure.
