New on Netflix

"Galavant" Seasons 1­2
Oh, "Galavant," we super believed in you! It's a shame ABC didn't sign on for a Season 3, but now you can stream both seasons of this witty, irreverent, worthy heir to Monty Python when they arrive on Netflix September 7. Joshua Sasse is brilliant (and handsome) as Sir Gary Galavant, with worthy backup from Vinnie Jones as Gareth, Mallory Jansen as Queen Madalena, Karen David as Princess Isabella, and Luke Youngblood as Sid. *But* the real star of the series is Timothy Omundson as King Richard. Watch for the dragon king -- and the many comedy guest stars.

"Extremis" (Netflix Original)
This Netflix original documentary, directed by Oscar and Emmy-nominated filmmaker Dan Krauss, follows "the wrenching emotions that accompany end-of-life decisions as doctors, patients, and families in a hospital ICU face harrowing choices." The verité doc was made with extraordinary access to the intensive care unit of Highland Hospital in Oakland, CA, and you can witness the powerful results starting September 10.

"The Finest Hours"
Chris Pine, Casey Affleck, Ben Foster, Holliday Grainger, John Ortiz, and Eric Bana star in this historical thriller following the true 1952 U.S. Coast Guard rescue of the SS Pendleton during a nor'easter off the New England coast. The film was released in theaters this past January and it's available on Netflix September 6.


TV Worth Watching

"Masters of Sex" Season 4 (Sunday on Showtime at 10 p.m.)
It takes a long time to truly master sex, so get ready for another round when Season 4 premieres September 11. Follow human sexuality pioneers Dr. William Masters (Michael Sheen) and Virginia Johnson (Lizzy Caplan) as their Season 4 story starts in 1968 and continues into the 1970s. Episode 1, called "Freefall," picks up in the wake of Masters and Johnson's fallout. They will "search for purpose in a world without one another and look to work as their personal lives crash down around them." In addition, "Libby finds herself alone for the first time since her marriage and discovers some unexpected allies."

"Better Things" Season 1 (Thursday on FX at 10 p.m.)
This new comedy series, created by Louis C.K. and Pamela Adlon, stars Adlon in a semi-autobiographical role as a divorced actress who raises her three daughters on her own. The 10-episode first season premieres September 8 in a pilot directed by Louis C.K.

Check out the Season 1 promo:

"Bachelor in Paradise" Season 3 (Monday & Tuesday on ABC at 8 p.m.)
Monday is Labor Day, but there's no rest for the wicked (crazy) "Bachelor" beach bums. The two-night Season 3 finale starts Monday from 8 to 10 p.m., and concludes with multiple proposals from 8 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, followed by what will surely be some "what were you thinking?" analysis on "Bachelor in Paradise: After Paradise" Tuesday from 9 to 10 p.m. At the very least, we know Nick and Jen break up, since Nick was just revealed as the new Bachelor. But we're expecting a lot more to go down, including these spoilers.
