Summer may be winding down, but Netflix is really ramping up. August sees the return of some awesome shows and a bunch of great new movies to watch.

There's almost no better way to end out the summer than with the return of the campy demonic crime dramedy that is Lucifer. The fifth season returns on Aug. 21 and I've already started whispering, "Detective" seductively under my breath. 

If you've already watched all of Avatar: The Last Airbender (which is easily one of the greatest children's television programs ever created) then you'll be excited to hear that Netflix is getting its sequel series The Legend of Korra on Aug. 14. On the young adult front, the popular post-apocalyptic series The Rain returns to Aug. 6 for a third season. 

On the film front, there are so many great marathon options. Netflix is getting the first three Jurassic Parks on Aug. 1. If you're looking for something a little less toothy and a little more kid-friendly, you could also watch the first two NeverEnding Story films.
