Every month, all the major streaming services add a host of newly acquired (or just plain new) shows, movies, and documentaries into their ever-rotating libraries. So what’s a dedicated reader to watch? Well, whatever you want, of course, but the name of this website is Literary Hub, so we sort of have an angle. To that end, here’s a selection of the best (and most enjoyably bad) literary film and TV coming to streaming services this month. Have fun.

By Daniel Clowes Fantagraphics. 106 pp. $30 - - - Many years ago, I was having dinner with a well-known writer and his then-12-year-old daughter when the subject turned to the poet Philip Larkin.
