Round of applause for Netflix Canada, the real MVP of summer. We know that August is broiling hot, so what better way to cool down than with some absolutely fire TV shows and movies—perhaps paired with some AC? If that sounds like a tiny slice of summer heaven, then you’re in luck because Netflix Canada’s August selection is hot AF, including new offerings (GLOW and Dear White People are both back with their third seasons) and old faves that are on the way out (Back to the Future, how we’ll miss thee). So grab the rosé and load up that queue.

For Season 3, we pick back up with the students of Winchester as they start embracing new challenges (and romantic prospects). Sam (Logan Browning) is still grieving from the sudden death of her father and trying to figure out WTF is going on with the Order of X finale. Meanwhile, a charismatic new professor starts shaking up campus life. (Pro tip: As your watching, keep an eye out for a cameo from show creator Justin Simien.)

This is going to be the cutest beach watch of your summer. City girl Gabriela (Christina Milian) wins a trip to a rustic New Zealand inn, and she teams up with contractor Jake Taylor (Adam Demos) to fix it up and flip it—and let’s just say, the decrepit old building isn’t the only thing keeping these two occupied.
