Netflix: The best dramas, documentaries and entertainment shows streaming in March

Spring is just around the corner and, with new green shoots appearing the garden, so too are some exciting new programmes popping up on Netflix.

March heralds some great TV.

From true crime and mystery to comedy and romance, they are all ready to drop on the streaming platform to see us through what is sure to be the last big push towards spring.

Highlights coming this March include Toni Collette’s new thriller Pieces of Her and what's being billed as the new Fyre Festival - a true-crime docu-series called Bad Vegan, which looks like it'll be the trending show on top of everyone's list this month.

Plus, there are some brilliant Netflix Original movies coming to the small screen - Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester stars in new psychological thriller The Weekend Away which looks brilliant (and scary).

The main event though has to be period drama Bridgerton, back for Season 2 and sure to set all our hearts a flutter.

Bookmark this page for reference and get ready for some seriously good TV kicking off with Worst Roommate Ever.

Worst Roommate Ever - March 1

If you're currently feeling a bit fed up with your roommate - maybe they've used a bit of your oat milk or left the TV on when they've gone out - then this new show on Netflix will make you welcome them home with open arms.

The five-part docu-series tells true and harrowing stories where seemingly harmless roommates turned out to be total nightmares.

Sometimes violent, the stories are unsettling and make stealing a bit of milk, or not buying the loo roll, seem actually not that bad after all.

Surviving Paradise: A Family Tale - March 3

Fans of nature documentaries have big cause to celebrate this month. In this beautifully shot new wildlife drama, a worsening dry season in the Kalahari Desert leaves prides, packs and herds to rely on the power of family to survive.

The Weekend Away - March 3

If you've always fancied a holiday to Croatia, then allow Netflix to ruin it for you with new film, The Weekend Away.

Things goes awry when a woman (Leighton Meester) is accused of killing her best friend (Christina Wolfe) and her efforts to get to the truth uncover a painful secret.

The holiday actually starts really well - a weekend away from the kids, sparkly dresses, nights out in the clurrrb etc.

But soon, there's a murder.

Prepare to be gripped by this mysterious and heart-stopping thriller from start to finish.

Pieces of Her - March 4

What if everything you thought you knew about your life was a lie?

Based on the New York Times Bestseller by Karin Slaughter, and from the Producers of Big Little Lies and The Undoing, Toni Collette and Bella Heathcote star in the new edge-of-your-seat thriller series and we cannot wait.

In a sleepy Georgia town, a random act of violence sets off an unexpected chain of events for 30-year-old Andy Oliver and her mother Laura.

Desperate for answers, Andy embarks on a dangerous journey across America, drawing her towards the dark, hidden heart of her family.

Queer Eye Germany - March 9

This is the very first international version of hit US show, Queer Eye.

It's subtitled, of course, so if you don't speak German you'll need your reading glasses.

Watch experts Leni Bolt, David Jakobs, Jan-Henrik Scheper-Stuke, Aljosha Muttardi and Ayan Yuruk guide their mentees towards opening the door to a new and better chapter in life.

With five episodes to binge starting March 9, the Fab Five provide inspiration for positive change to the stories of their five every day heroes – including a young soccer coach’s coming out, a single father’s way back into dating, and a shaken young woman’s journey to finally enjoying life.

The Adam Project - March 11

Time travel anyone?

Right now, we must admit that feels like an appealing idea.

In this new release, a time-traveling pilot teams up with his younger self and his late father, to come to terms with his past while saving the future.

Sounds cosmic.

Life After Death with Tyler Henry - March 11

And in keeping with the slightly cosmic vibes, released on March 11 is Life After Death with Tyler Henry.

Tyler is a world-renowned celebrity medium (that means he talks to dead people) and has more than 300,000 people on his waiting list.

After years of being Hollywood’s go-to medium, Tyler heads out across the country to offer readings to as many of the people on his waiting list as he can, bringing them the hope, healing and closure they are seeking.

Will this series show us proof that our loved ones never really leave us?

While researching this new Netflix show we went down the Youtube rabbit hole of Tyler Henry and it's certainly very convincing when you watch him do one of his "readings".

We'll be watching this show with interest, and also if there are any ghosts listening... please don't send us a sign that you're there, OK? Not today.

Bad Vegan. Fame. Fraud. Fugitives - March 16

This is one of the real jewels in Netflix crown for this March.

Bad Vegan is brought to us by the Producer of Tiger King and the director of Fyre Festival.

So it's basically the documentary-series we've been craving since watching those epic titles.

The story goes: A celebrity restaurateur, once hailed as the queen of vegan cuisine, becomes a fugitive when she goes on the run with a man who cons her out of a fortune by convincing her that he holds the key to making her every dream (and her dreams include making her beloved pitbull immortal) a reality.

Full of twists and turns, we're already hooked.

Bridgerton: Season 2 - March 25

And finally, the follow up we've all been waiting for, March will finally see the release of Bridgerton Season 2.

Bridgerton is a romantic, scandalous, and quick-witted series that celebrates the timelessness of enduring friendships, families finding their way, and the search for a love that conquers all.

It follows Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor), the eldest daughter of the powerful Bridgerton family as she makes her debut onto Regency London’s competitive marriage market.

We're already feeling a little faint.
