Love, Death & Robots (March 15)
David Fincher and Tim Miller disembark on Netflix with this series of 18 episodes with animated stories consisting of science fiction, fantasy, horror and comedy. The idea is to surprise each episode since each story is independent and uses different animation methods.

From here, Eduard lives different realities depending on his decisions.
The OA (March 22)
We had not heard from The OA since it was surprisingly released on Netflix December 2016. It was a series that did not leave anyone indifferent with Prairie (Brit Marling), a woman who returned home after being kidnapped most of her life and who claimed to have powers. And, if the first season made you feel like you were going to lose your head, wait till you see this second season. The trailer points ways.
Dheli Crime (March 22)

The story centers on five ex-operatives from the special forces of the United States.

Netflix has had this musical biopic ready for 2019: the biopic of Mötley Crüe, the band born in the eighties.
