In the absence of widely attractive new films and television series (no Oscar nominees this month, I’m afraid), it looks like Netflix is looking at the podcast market to find out how to keep its huge number of subscribers happy. His new offerings in March include a number of documentary and special series that he would fully listen to, if they were podcasts. Will I see it? Well, Jo it will not. (I haven’t even seen it Ted Lasso still.) But it is possible.
Operation: Varsity Blues (March 17) is sure to attract eyeballs, fascinated like everyone else by the college entrance scandal that toppled culture titans like Felicity Huffman, Aunt Becky of Full up, and the fashion mogul who once designed a paper towel rack that I bought at Target. Everyone is still upset by the way they had already manipulated a system that already had their favor to get their children to be in “good” schools and with a good cause. The documentary comes from some of the same team that produced it early on pandemic sensation Tiger king.
Murder among Mormons (March 3) is the kind of really light-hearted crime story that looks like it was already a podcast you subscribed to last year but forgot to listen to. It delves into an eruption of bombings that terrorized Salt Lake City in the mid-1980s.
And an inspiring story of perseverance in the Hoop Dreams mold, Last chance U: basketball (March 10) is a derivative of the long Netflix series Last chance U. It changes the focus from football to collegiate basketball players who have struggled in their lives and studies and who have to play in junior college if they hope to play in the division again.
If you prefer a little more fiction to your TV viewing diet, I’m personally excited to see if as well Pacific Rim movie series translate to anime in Pacific Rim: The Black, launching on March 4 (giant robots in anime? It might work!). The Irregulars (March 26) has it very well Buffy / Sabrina potential: a series about young paranormal crime fighters based on Sherlock Holmes’ famous “Baker Street Irregulars.” Moxie (March 3), a dramatic film about a girl who launches a ‘zine to expose sexism in high school, which sounds quite culturally relevant and is also the debut in the direction of an Amy Poehler.
Here’s all the rest of Netflix’s entry and exit in March 2021.
