Which series and movies on Netflix are worth waiting for this month on the popular streaming platform. Finales of stories about Lucifer and the post-apocalypse due to rain, as well as a new film with Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Here are the most appealing and interesting Netflix projects worth watching in August.

The Rain

A Danish series on Netflix about a deadly virus contained in raindrops that wiped out almost the entire population of the Earth. An employee of the Appolo corporation, knowing about the impending disaster, managed to hide his children in a special bunker. Six years later, the bunker runs out of food, and the brother and sister decide to go to the surface.

At first, it might seem like a typical post-apocalyptic disaster series or movie. But by the end of the first episode, you'll notice significant differences. You'll definitely appreciate the beauty of Scandinavia and will be afraid of the rain. There won't be a ridiculous story about saving all of humanity by a group of teenagers. They only think about survival and finding their family.

The narrative here is dark, and the main goal is to find out who created the virus and for what purpose. Unexpectedly, fantastic elements will also appear in this story.

Work It

Quinn dreams of winning a dance competition to get into a prestigious college. Joining a team of the best dancers is out of the question, so the girl has no choice but to find other misfits and form her own team.

This is a dance comedy featuring rising stars from American YouTube and a star from the second film "To All the Boys I've Loved Before."

Project Power

A strange pill appears in New Orleans that can grant superpowers to anyone. A mysterious organization is behind the pill's appearance on the city streets. From the outside, their invention might seem like an incredible gift, but not everyone survives after gaining superpowers. It's impossible to predict what powers a person will get. A local cop, along with a former soldier and a girl who sold drugs, set out to track down the creators.

The project is appealing due to its cast: the main roles are played by Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Teenage Bounty Hunters

The story of sixteen-year-old twin sisters who accidentally plunge into a world of crime and murder after meeting a war veteran. They walk around with shotguns, pistols, and smash skulls with a cane. But at the same time, they still go to school and do typical teenage things.

Biohackers

Gifted biology student Mia meets a professor named Lorenz. They conduct strange and not entirely legal experiments – making a mouse emit green light in the dark, and turning plants into musical instruments. Mia is not just interested in the lab for no reason – the girl suspects that Lorenz is involved in the death of her relative.

The European series is appealing because it was directed by Christian Ditter, who created the comedies "Love, Rosie" and "How to Be Single."

Lucifer

The continuation and possibly the final season of the successful series that Netflix once bought and saved. Lucifer returns to Earth again and continues to solve murders. This is already the greatest irony that can be in a project about the devil. The show offers a new perspective on hell, heaven, demons, and angels. It also hooks you with the active involvement of strong female characters in the plot. But fans of the series are waiting for the finale because of the charming actor with a British accent.
