Streaming Picks: July 2023

Programming Note: Paramount+ has merged with the Showtime app, but subscribers don’t automatically get access to all Showtime programming without paying an additional fee. So while the app will henceforth be known (clunkily) as Paramount+ with Showtime, I’m only using that name for titles only available on that higher tier.

FILMS
Top Pick
Knock at the Cabin – Prime Video 7/25
M. Night Shyamalan’s latest mind-bender opened a little softer and to more mixed reviews than 2021’s knockout Old. But this claustrophobic thriller about the (dangerous) power of faith is another win for the director who has continued to bet on himself after several high-profile failures.

NEW SHOWS & SPECIALS
Top Pick
What We Do in the Shadows (Season 5) – Hulu 7/14
At this point, it doesn’t matter how long this saga of four vampires (and their increasingly impatient familiar) runs or what shenanigans they get up to. It’s firmly cemented itself as one of the funniest comedies of the decade.
