This isn’t just the biggest streaming launch of August for Amazon – it’s one of the most consequential ever. The first season ofThe Rings of Powerunderwhelmed many viewers despite lavish production values, and its second season feels like a really important one.

It’ll see Sauron making more malevolent moves to build up his power while Galadriel and her allies attempt to counterbalance things, and we know that there will be bigger battles than anything we saw in the first season.

A new sci-fi action comedy starring John Cena and Awkwafina,Jackpot!looks like a barrel of laughs and a great bit of fun. The movie imagines a near future where everyone in California can win a huge lottery – but whoever gets the winning ticket has to survive the day to claim their prize.

Awkwafina plays Katie Kim, who just so happens to find that winning ticket, and John Cena plays a bumbling but strong protection agent called Noel Cassidy who makes it his mission to help her survive. It might not be high art, but this could be a lovely movie night choice.

Sometimes you just need a good rags-to-riches story, and if it can have a little extreme sport mixed in, then so much the better. That’s just whatOne Fast Movelooks like.

It’ll tell the story of a young man trying to reconnect with his father and make it as a pro biker. Expect a classic story of obsession and odds being overcome, with what should hopefully be some nail-biting high-speed race scenes to blend in, too.

We’re not saying there’s a shortage of really good detective shows out there right now – actually, wait, yes we are. If you’re on the hunt for a fun mystery series that doesn’t take itself too seriously,The Mallorca Filescould be right up your street – and fill that detective-shaped void.

Its third season arrives on Prime Video this month and looks like it’ll bring more sun-drenched fun, complete with a new set of crimes for Miranda Blake and Max Winter to get to the bottom of in their laid-back, barbed style. If you’ve missed the first two seasons then it’s well worth catching up too.
