These 7 Netflix Treats Are Worth Watching In March

March means we’re one step closer to Spring and one step closer to knowing who will take home the biggest prize the cinematic landscape has to offer: the Oscar for Best Picture. Awards season so far has been filled with a variety of standout moments, with Demi Moore winning her first ever Golden Globe for her haunting performance in The Substance, while Mikey Madison took home the Best Actress title at the BAFTAs for her breakout performance in Sean Baker’s Anora.

While we don’t know who will be taking home the golden statues just yet, we imagine that Netflix will continue its winning streak with Jessica Gunning taking home a Golden Globe and SAG Award for Baby Reindeer while Zoe Saldaña is likely a frontrunner having already won at the Globes, SAG Awards, and BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Emilia Pérez.

Though we might be watching awards season reach its climax from the sofa rather than the red carpet, that means we have plenty of spare time to be browsing all the other wonderful shows and movies heading to our screens this March. From a new reality TV show featuring one of the world’s most famous women to potentially the biggest blockbuster in Netflix’s history, look through the list ahead to discover all the best bits coming to streaming this month.

If there’s one thing we love, it’s the Shonda Rhimes cinematic universe. While we wait on the edge of our seats for Bridgerton Season 4, we thankfully have something else to keep us satisfied in the form of a whodunnit thriller starring Orange Is The New Black's Uzo Aduba. The new series follows Aduba’s eccentric detective Cordelia Cupp as she determines who has killed a State Dinner guest at none other than the most highly secured place on Earth: the White House. 

Similar to a Knives Out-style mansion killing, there are 132 rooms to search and 157 suspects, with every staff member and invited guest (including other world leaders) being treated as a possible perpetrator. Written by Scandal’s Paul William Davies and inspired by Kate Andersen Brower's New York Times bestselling book The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House, the series is set to get audiences talking, not least because it includes former US Senator Al Franken as a politician leading a congressional hearing about the case and a cameo from none other than Australian pop superstar Kylie Minogue. Co-starring This Is Us’ Susan Kelechi Watson, Always Be My Maybe’s Randall Park, and Breaking Bad’s Giancarlo Esposito, the cast is chock full of talented actors bringing this wacky murder mystery to life (no pun intended).

If you want your film to say big budget, it makes sense that you would cast the star of one of Netflix’s most streamed shows and an actual Guardian of the galaxy. 

Directed by the masterminds behind Avengers: Endgame, The Electric State brings the popular graphic novel of the same name to life. Taking place in an alternative 1990s universe, we learn that after a failed uprising by robots, sentient machines are now living in exile despite once being loyal friends to humans. Michelle (Millie Bobby Brown) is a teenager trying to navigate this sci-fi society, all while dealing with the loss of her parents and a missing brother. Deciding to head out across the country to find her only remaining family, she picks up a ragtag crew along the way, including a surfer blonde drifter (Chris Pratt) and a cartoonish robot. Plus, the blockbuster also stars cocktail extraordinaire Stanley Tucci and superstar sweetheart Ke Huy Quan, so really there’s no going wrong here.

Yes, the long awaited return of A24-produced comedy Survival Of The Thickest has finally arrived. The Michelle Buteau-fronted series is back and this time, she's heading to Europe.

Following plus-size stylist Mavis Beaumont (Buteau), the series examines singledom in the eye of a shitstorm after Mavis discovers her boyfriend/colleague of five years is cheating on her (with a model no less).

The Manson Family, whose cult members committed murders across California in the late 60’s and 70’s, have been a pop culture fixation for over half a decade. From big budget movies like Once Upon A Time In Hollywood to indie films like Manson Family Vacation, the criminal gang have been a long time focus for true crime obsessives. Now, Netflix is re-examining the famed case once again, with a new documentary based on the 2019 book CHAOS: Charles Manson, The CIA, And The Secret History Of The Sixties. Adding to Netflix’s extensive real life crime catalog, the doc speaks about the cult leader’s connection to official government bodies, LSD, the JFK assassination, and more.
