2016-08-02T21:11:24-07:00New on Netflix for August: Fast, Furious and Louis Ck
Netflix has cued up an impressive list of movies to add to its streaming catalog for August, including a couple of installments from one of the hottest film franchises around and a new special from one of the hottest comics working today. The list of the month's new TV content is less impressive, but that's to be expected ahead of the deluge of content that will no doubt hit the service once the fall TV season begins.
The month's new movies are headlined by a pair of Fast and Furious movies. The new titles include the franchise's first film, 2001's The Fast and the Furious, and its third, 2006's The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Both films became available for streaming on August 1.

1. “The Get Down” Season 1, Part 1 (available August 12)
Why Should I Watch It? Baz Luhrmann brings his wild style to the small screen in a story inspired by the creation of hip-hop. I know, I know — you’re already in, but there’s so much more! Made from a carefully curated combination of experienced minds — including Grandmaster Flash, Nas and Nelson George — “The Get Down” chronicles how kids in Queens during the late ’70s blended disco and soul music to create what’s currently the most popular pop music genre. Oh, and did we mention it’s a love story? A handful of newcomers join respected actors like Jimmy Smits and Giancarlo Esposito for the 12-hour first season, but we’re only getting six episodes to start with. It can’t all be perfect.
