Last weekend's list held up. This one got an upgrade. The Duffer Brothers dropped their first post-Stranger Things project Thursday night, a horror limited series that's already sitting at 83% on Rotten Tomatoes. Anaconda — the Paul Rudd/Jack Black meta-comedy creature feature — hit Netflix Tuesday and went straight to number one. And Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man is still there for anyone who hasn't gotten to it yet.
Here are ten things on Netflix right now worth your time.
Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen
Netflix Series | Dropped March 26
Duffer Brothers' first project after wrapping Stranger Things is a horror limited series created by Haley Z. Boston (Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities). Camila Morrone plays a woman who can't shake the feeling that her upcoming wedding is headed somewhere dark, and the eight episodes follow the week leading up to it. Baby Reindeer director Weronika Tofilska helmed two episodes. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds an , with the consensus calling it atmospheric horror that "ably transports newlywed jitters to the surrealist realm of binge-worthy TV." It dropped yesterday, which means you're not behind yet.
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man
Film | Dropped March 20
Four years after the series finale, Tommy Shelby is back. It's WWII now, which means the stakes got considerably higher than Birmingham gang turf wars. Cillian Murphy, fresh off his Oscar for Oppenheimer, returns to the role that made him a household name. Creator Steven Knight wrote the film specifically as a cinematic continuation, not a cash-grab epilogue. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a (at the time of writing). It dropped last week, which means someone has probably already spoiled it for you. Watch it anyway.
ONE PIECE Season 2
Series | Dropped March 10
In its first four days, the show pulled 16.8 million views, reaching number one in 43 countries. Critics handed it a , a major jump from Season 1's 84%, and on Metacritic, it sits at 80/100, on par with prestige titles like The White Lotus. Season 2 picks up with Luffy and the Straw Hats heading into more dangerous waters, and critics are calling it bigger and better than the first. If you haven't started Season 1 yet, that's good news: you have a whole weekend's worth of TV ahead of you.
Anaconda
Netflix Film | Dropped March 25
Jack Black and Paul Rudd play childhood friends who travel to the Amazon to remake their favorite movie — the original 1997 Anaconda — and then a real giant anaconda shows up. It made $135 million at the box office on a $45 million budget, critics gave it , and audiences gave it a 75%. It hit Netflix on Tuesday and went straight to number one. The math is obvious: critics didn't love it, and nobody cared.
Vladimir
Limited Series | Dropped March 5
Rachel Weisz plays a college professor who becomes dangerously fixated on a younger colleague, and the whole thing unravels from there. Based on Julia May Jonas's acclaimed novel, it's sharp, uncomfortable, and intentionally provocative. The kind of limited series that exists specifically to make you argue about it afterward. Weisz is essentially a one-woman reason to watch anything she touches.
Anatomy of a Fall
Film | New to Netflix
If you skipped this during its Oscar run, you made a mistake, and now you can correct it. On Rotten Tomatoes, , with an average rating of 8.5/10, and the consensus calls it "a smart, solidly crafted procedural anchored in family drama, with star Sandra Hüller and director Justine Triet operating at peak power." One of the best films of the decade so far, now finally streamable.
Jo Nesbø's Detective Hole
Series | New Episodes Weekly
For the Scandi-crime crowd, this is the adaptation they've been waiting for. Harry Hole is one of crime fiction's great antiheroes, a brilliant, tormented homicide detective going head-to-head with a corrupt colleague while hunting a serial killer. If The Snowman left a bad taste (it did, for everyone), this is the version of Jo Nesbø done right.
Virgin River Season 7
Series | Dropped March 12
It's Netflix's longest-running original series now. Season 7 debuted at No. 2 on the US chart and No. 3 globally, with Mel and Jack navigating newlywed life while the mystery of Charmaine's disappearance pulls the town back into chaos. Not every weekend needs prestige cinema. Sometimes it needs 10 episodes of small-town drama in a place that looks like it was designed by someone who really loves rain and flannel.
The Dinosaurs
Limited Documentary Series | Dropped March 6
Executive produced by Steven Spielberg, made by the Our Planet team, covering 150 million years of prehistoric life. It functions as ambient television that occasionally stops you mid-scroll to actually watch. Good for Sunday morning.
The Plastic Detox
Documentary | Dropped March 16
This documentary follows six couples who embark on a plastic detox within their homes, examining what microplastics are doing to our health — from hormone disruption to increasing rates of cancer, early heart attack, and stroke. Directed by Louie Psihoyos, the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind The Cove. You will look at a water bottle differently by the time it's over.
