Roku Picks for August

This month, for our Streaming Picks series, we are focusing the spotlight on the Roku app since they have a nice mixture of television series and films available this July/August. 

In addition to some rarer British series well worth checking out (such as the intriguing The Gentle Touch with the talented Jill Gascoigne) there are also a few obscure American series not usually available on the streaming apps. Code 3 is a really rare series from 1957 about "real-life cases from the Los Angeles sheriff's office" and Steve Canyon (1957-1958) is a hardly-ever-talked-about action series that also features real-life cases... this time from the files of the United States Air Force. Also worth checking out is The Lawless Years (1959-1961) starring James Gregory as a New York cop fighting crime during the Roaring 20s.
