Thank God for Netflix in March. The streaming giant is releasing new seasons of seven original series, one feature film, a documentary and a stand-up special, including the highly anticipated new installments of Daredevil and House of Cards, as well as a plethora of other stellar shows and films to cover your viewing needs. With so much eminently watchable entertainment, Netflix may be the only content provider you need as you start settling into spring.
Here’s a few of our must-stream movies and shows coming to Netflix in March, and don’t forget to check out the complete list of new additions below.
House of Cards, Season 4 (March 4)
Okay, so season three didn’t quite reach the heights of the first two installments of Frank Underwood’s Machiavellian rise to power. However, we retain high hopes for season four, which will see President Underwood fight for reelection. How will Francis handle the scrutiny of a national election? Furthermore, it will be interesting to see how Beau Willimon and co. parallel their fictional election with our own. New additions Neve Campbell and Joel Kinnaman will freshen up the proceedings as leads Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright are sure to keep us enthralled with their continued examination of the relationship between Washington’s ultimate power couple.
Louie, Season 5 (March 4)
If you haven’t seen comedian Louis C.K.’s sublime FX series yet, drop everything and binge watch the previous four seasons immediately. Louie is a Woody Allen-esque look at the day to day life and struggles of a comedian and single father. Each episode feels like a short film that explores beauty, humor and heartbreak in the often overlooked moments in life. Highlights of season four include “Cop Story,” where Louie spends a miserable night out on the town with an emotionally unstable old friend, and “Road Story,” the double episode season finale that gives the viewer an inside look at the depressing life of a comedian on the road.
Jimmy Carr: Funny Business (March 18)
Britain’s reigning king of the caustic one-liner comes to Netflix with his first stand-up special. Carr’s blend of dark humor and intellectualism makes for hilarious and thought provoking comedy. He is at times gleefully offensive, which makes experiencing the audience’s reaction just as enjoyable as watching his set. If nothing else, check it out just hear Jimmy’s distinctive chuckle. His rising staccato expression of joy is easily the best laugh in comedy.
Marvel’s Daredevil, Season 2 (March 18)
Season One of Marvel’s Daredevil marked Netflix’s foray into the comic book realm and damn did they do it well. The first season blended action and humor seamlessly while featuring knockout performances from Vincent D’Onofrio and Charlie Cox. D’Onofrio in particular offered one of the most nuanced portrayals of an out and out villain TV has ever seen. The series is couched in the gritty tradition of the crime drama genre, which is nicely complimented by the heightened reality of a world inhabited by super powered individuals. If the recently released trailers are any indication, the introductions of Elektra and Punisher will drive the series into a harrowing place that will push Matt Murdock to the edge.
Trailer Park Boys, Season 10 (March 25)
One of the best comedies of the twenty first century, Trailer Park Boys follows three Nova Scotian trailer park residents, Ricky, Julian and Bubbles and their harebrained moneymaking schemes. Shot in a mockumentary style, Trailer Park Boys treats its deeply flawed characters with compassion as the audience inexplicably begins to sympathize with the angry, selfish Ricky and the cruel, perma drunk trailer park Supervisor Jim Lahey. Season 10 promises to give us more alcohol soaked, weed fueled laughs from our favorite undereducated, over-armed criminals.
