9 must-stream premieres in August

August is the final month of meteorological summer (the warmest three months of the year).  It often brings mixed emotions as well as mixed weather.  There are usually hot and humid spells, and a few days where you can almost sense autumn.  Sunlight conditions certainly change with the sun getting a bit lower in the sky, shadows lengthening, and night getting longer.  Plants in the yard and forest often have reached their peak of glory and start to brown or shrivel a bit by month’s end.   

The luxury of all summer's sweet sensation is finishing strong with these new TV show premieres. While the majority of these shows are returning favorites, there are a couple can’t-miss freshman series too. Fresh off the cast’s buzz worthy Comic-Con appearance, Marvel’s The Defenders premieres on 8/18 and the new Jessica Biel drama, The Sinner kicks off 8/2.
