There is an abundance of new TV shows and films to watch on Netflix this weekend, including The One, Bombay Rose, Deadly Illusions, Operation Varsity Blues, and the unmissable Pagglait.
March is well and truly in full swing, now, but there’s still a wealth of new films and TV shows coming to Netflix this month.
The One, a TV adaptation of John Marrs’ unputdownable psychological thriller, is still trending (in fact, it’s been stuck in the number one spot of Netflix’s Top 10 since its debut!), and the wait is finally over for the The Irregulars, a supernatural twist on the classic Sherlock Holmes story that’s guaranteed to intrigue armchair detectives everywhere.
Jennifer Garner’s Yes Day, a sugar-sweet family comedy, has been nicely tempered by the release of Deadly Illusions, a steamy thriller starring Sex And The City’s Kristin Davis as a novelist who finds herself slowly becoming obsessed with her children’s attractive new nanny.
