Godzilla Minus One recently hit Netflix after months of wondering if and when the movie would actually be available in the U.S. after its theatrical run, but now the streamer is also getting its hands the Minus Color version. It’s pretty explanatory. It’s the same film in black and white, but it’s also a great opportunity for a rewatch. (Streaming August 1.)

➽ The Umbrella Academy, season 4 — The action series adapted from My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way’s string of comics, The Umbrella Academy is saving the world one last time. (Streaming August 8.)

➽ Emily in Paris, season 4, part 1 — A show you either love or hate, Emily in Paris is taking on some new European landscapes this season. If only, it wasn’t split into two parts, ugh. (Streaming August 15.)

➽ Interview with the Vampire, season 1 — One of AMC’s best shows, Interview with the Vampire on Netflix is hopefully a chance for the show to get all the eyeballs it deserves. (Streaming August 19.)

How We Write This List

New movies and shows pop up on Netflix every month — a staggered waterfall of dozens upon dozens of titles, many of them good, not all of them great. On the last day of every month and once a week, we’ll update this list with recommendations for what to watch that’s new on Netflix. To help you sort through the noise without relying on Netflix’s algorithm, we’ll recommend a critic’s pick and add some emojis (with very scientific categories!) to the noteworthy movies and shows below. 😇
