March is serving up a stacked lineup of must-watch TV. A bleak and brilliant new thriller, Adolescence, is already the internet’s latest obsession, while Severance finally returns after three years to unravel (or complicate) its biggest mysteries. The White Lotus jets off to Thailand for more twisted luxury, and Drive to Survive hits Netflix just as F1 fever takes over Melbourne. Over on Amazon, For the Win: NWSL dives into the high-stakes world of women’s football, while gritty crime drama Long Bright River somehow gave us Amanda Seyfried performing Joni Mitchell covers on late night talk shows... yeah, we're not sure either.
Whether you're craving pulse-pounding tension, social satire, or pure sports drama, here's everything you should be streaming this month:
1. Adolescence (Netflix)
Perhaps March's breakout show, Stephen Graham's new four-part Netflix series Adolescence has taken the internet my storm. Centring on a 13-year-old boy arrested for the murder of a young girl, it's a poignant and heartbreaking story that comments on the rise of incel culture. And if 15-year-old star and acting newcomer Owen Cooper's performance is not enough to wow you, each episode is one single, continuous shot filmed in one take.
2. Severance (Apple TV+)
After three long years, Severance fans finally have some answers... kind of. Season 2 of AppleTV+'s hit show from 2021 has, in a word, boomed, this year, with a 126% increase in new sign-ups, and the series quickly rising to become the streaming platform's #1 show. Will we find out about the goats? What Lumon really does? Or what Cold Harbour means? To have your Severance theories answered, we'd suggest tuning in.
3. The White Lotus (Binge)
Fans of set jetting and watching rich people be truly awful human beings are very happy right now, as S3 of Mike White's acclaimed and Emmy-award winning The White Lotus is back on screens via Binge. This season, set in Thailand, is already proving to be another fan favourite, with plenty of dark secrets and twisted truths and sharp social satire we've grown to know and love from the last two seasons. We're only missing Jen Coolidge of course.
4. Drive to Survive (Netflix)

Formula 1 fans will stoked that, alongside the F1 returning to the streets of Melbourne last night, that the event's drama-fuelled pairing Drive to Survive will be returning to Netflix this month for its seventh season. For fans new and old of the motorsport, this is an opportunity to once again peek inside the garages of every team on the track – and inside the lives of their competitive and kooky caravanserai of drivers around the world.
5. For the Win: NWSL (Amazon)
If you are someone who also fell victim to the Matildas-World-Cup-supporter-to-global-womens-football-fanatic pipeline, then this one's for you. Amazon Prime's new immersive docuseries For the Wine: NWSL will follow US National Women's Soccer League players like Alex Morgan and Trinity Rodman during the 2024 playoffs.
6. Long Bright River (Stan)
If you too are still wondering 'Why was Amanda Seyfried singing Joni Mitchell songs on the Tonight Show?', this is why. Seyfried has been out promoting her new crime drama miniseries Long Bright River (available to stream on Stan in Australia). Seyfried plays a Philadelphia cop investigates a string of murders while also searching for her own missing sister.
