When it comes to deciding what to watch, it can get overwhelming. Fast. There are so many options out there. Even if you keep it to just the best streaming services, there are dozens of new shows and movies added every day. Lucky for you, it's my job to know exactly what's out there. So I've compiled a TV guide on what to watch tonight.
I've gone through everything from Netflix, Prime Video, Paramount+, etc. I've scoured the best free streaming services like Tubi. I've even added some movies you might have missed in theaters that are finally available to buy or rent to stream at home.
So let's dive into it. Here are all the new movies and shows (and live events) you can stream tonight (August 19), and where to watch them. For more picks, check out these three Prime Video shows worth binge-watching.

Top shows and movies to stream tonight
'Reacher' season 4 (Prime Video)
Genre: Crime thriller series
What's it about? Alan Ritchson is back for another Reacher adventure. This one kicks off with the titular former investigator witnessing a woman (Karen Kwong-Chip) die on a Philadelphia subway. Now, he, a Philadelphia cop (Tamara Green) and the woman's brother (Christopher Rodriguez Marquette) have teamed up why the woman took her own life. They just have to steer clear of the CIA.
Why you need to watch it: I reviewed the "Reacher" season 4 premiere for Tom's Guide, and I loved it. The show sticks to what made the past three seasons a success, and Ritchson has never been more perfectly cast as the hulking yet witty Jack Reacher.

'Love is Blind: UK' season 3 premiere (Netflix)
Genre: Reality dating series
What's it about? "Love is Blind: UK" is back. This British Isles variant of the now iconic Netflix dating show takes blind dating to a whole new level. 30 singles from England, Scotland, and Wales will enter the show's pods in season 3 to see if they can find the right person ... without ever actually seeing them.
Why you need to watch it: If you've liked "Love is Blind" in the past, then "Love is Blind" season 3 will likely be for you. Don't expect this show to reinvent itself; it will follow the same formula and produce the same addictive drama.

'Ted Lasso' season 4 (Apple TV)
Genre: Sports comedy-drama series
What it's about: Coach Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) stole our hearts and minds as the misfit coach of Premier League club AFC Richmond. Now, he's back, but he's coaching the club's women's team. There's just one problem: the women's team already has a coach.
Why you should watch it: I wasn't sure we needed a season 4 of "Ted Lasso." Things wrapped up relatively neatly at the end of season 3. But this latest chapter seems to have won over most viewers, according to Rotten Tomatoes. It certainly won us over in our "Ted Lasso" season 4 review.
