Even with Netflix’s recommendation algorithm steadily serving you new movies, new TV shows, and original programming tailored to your bingeing habits, the streaming service’s fire hose of content makes what’s coming and going difficult to parse.
That’s why we break down each month’s additions with a spotlight on what to keep on your radar. Netflix’s own “new releases” category is an info dump. Consider us a picture-in-picture talking head, screaming recommendations at the screen.
For whatever reason, March is a Netflix anime overload. Castlevania returns and Beastars, the anime that basically looks like Zootopia for adults, premieres alongside the Altered Carbon anime and the experimental Sol Levante. Also coming to the platform are He’s Just Not That Into You, my personal favorite bad romcom, a few of the Resident Evil sequels, and Space Jam, which everyone in general should watch before the sequel happens.

He’s Just Not That Into You
I will be the first to admit that the dialogue in this movie is absolutely horrendous (someone says “funeral” instead of “wedding” and we’re supposed to accept that it was a natural blunder??), but it is exactly my bucket of awful and it might be yours. Justin Long is also in it and I love Justin Long. It has the best use of Keane’s “Somewhere Only We Know” in it, except they loop the instrumental part obviously too long so the main couple can have a confession and it’s so bad it’s good.
