New on Netflix

This week includes the start of a new month, and you know what that means: A heap of new titles will be added to Netflix as of Friday, Sept. 1, and several more will be leaving.

"Narcos" Season 3 (Netflix Original)The king is dead. Long live the new kingpins. DEA Agent Javier Pena (Pedro Pascal) will pursue the Cali Cartel, who operate very differently from Pablo Escobar, in "Narcos" Season 3. (Boyd Holbrook's Steve Murphy will not be returning.) It's time for the rise of a new empire, so see how that goes down this Friday.

"Resurface" (Netflix Original)This Netflix documentary, streaming September 1, follows veterans who find like-minded souls in Operation Surf, a surfing program that helps military vets suffering from physical and mental trauma.

"Little Evil" (Netflix Original)Adam Scott and Evangeline Lilly star in this horror-comedy from Eli Craig. "Meet Gary. He just married Samantha, the woman of his dreams. There's one problem, his stepson is the antichrist." Hate when that happens! Owen Atlas, Clancy Brown, Tyler Labine, Donald Faison, Chris D'Elia, and Bridget Everett co-star in the Netflix original movie, arriving September 1.

  • "Jaws" (1975)
  • "Jaws 2" (1978)
  • "Jaws 3" (1983)
  • "Jaws: The Revenge" (1987)

Summer is almost ending, but you have just enough time to binge four "Jaws" movies, which all arrive on Netflix starting September 1.

Two Disney movies will also be available as of Sept. 1. Stream 'em while they're hot, 'cause it's not clear what Disney plans to do when its new streaming service is up:

TV Worth Watching

"Twin Peaks: The Return" (Sunday on Showtime at 8 p.m.)
Love it, hate it, or just confused by it, the limited series return of "Twin Peaks" is ending this Sunday, Sept. 3, with both Episode 17 and Episode 18 airing back-to-back on Showtime.

"Power" Season 4 (Sunday on Starz at 9 p.m.)
It's also finale night for "Power," with Season 4, Episode 10 titled "You Can't Fix This." Here's the synopsis: "Ghost and Tommy seek retribution after tragedy befalls the St. Patrick family; Tasha tries to keep things together at home; Angela attempts to figure out what Ghost is hiding." If there's any kind of cliffhanger, don't worry: Starz already renewed the Omari Hardwick series for Season 5.

"American Experience: Walt Disney" (Tuesday on PBS at 8 p.m.)
There are a few other season finales this week, before the start of the Fall 2017-2018 TV season, but that's not the only thing worth watching. There are also specials like this, which actually first aired in 2015. PBS is bringing it back August 29, sharing the life and legacy of Walt Disney, from his creation of Mickey Mouse through the making of his first full-length animated film, "Snow White." The two-hour doc (which you can actually stream right now, if you're ready) airs Tuesday night, right before "Frontline" re-airs its own special, "League of Denial: The NFL's Concussion Crisis."
