‘Acute Misfortune,’ is based on Erik Jensen’s account of his complicated journalistic and personal relationship with the late artist Adam Cullen. It will stream on Stan in August. Image via Arenamedia.

This month in streaming we see stark contrasts in new offerings: Stan and SBS On Demand go highbrow, adding some incredible local and international films to their rosters. Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, on the other hand, are going for drama, with Netflix streaming finales to some of its favourite series, and Prime focussing fully on action silliness, Finally, Foxtel’s new streaming service Binge graces our column for the first time, bringing exactly the kind of wonderful trash that is sure to be someone’s treasure.
