GET READY TO BINGE: The top five TV series coming to streaming services this August.

If you didn't know already, this month will most likely be spent watching more television.

With the increased numbers of COVID cases in Victoria forcing us all to be a little smarter about where we go and what we do, the safest place for us to be right now is in our homes watching something on TV (we know, you've heard that before).

Here are things you probably (definitely) say while binge watching TV. Post continues below.

But the good news is that this August, there is so much great content dropping on streaming services. From TV series to movies, we honestly can't keep up with everything that's coming out on all the different platforms.

Luckily for you, we've picked out the top five TV series that are dropping this month on Stan, Netflix and Binge. 

Mark them in your calendars, because you're going to want to watch them all.
