How do you top season 2 of House of the Dragon? Turns out, you don’t, at least according to HBO and Max, which just released their lackluster August 2024 programming schedule. There’s not a lot of compelling new content to watch this month unless you’re a big fan of Maine Cabin Masters.
Among the highlights are the season 3 premiere of Industry, the series that takes a dramatic look at the lives of London financial workers, and Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Chicago Bears. Older movies returning to the service include the classic Julia Roberts rom-com Pretty Woman and the Liam Neeson action movie Taken.

You can now enjoy Substack on a TV, if that’s your idea of fun times
The app, which has just rolled out for Apple TV and Google TV, basically takes the video content and livestreams from the creators you already subscribe to and splashes them onto the biggest screen in your house. It is a smart, calculated move toward what the tech industry calls a "lean-back" experience. Instead of hunching over a laptop or squinting at a smartphone screen to watch a forty-minute interview or a deep-dive lecture, you can now throw it on the TV while you cook dinner, fold laundry, or just relax on the couch.
