Somehow, we've made it into March, and Netflix is getting into the swing of things. This week on Netflix, we're treated to a slew of great new shows and movies, including the gritty "Damsel," starring Millie Bobby Brown.

In "Damsel," Brown plays Elodie, a princess betrayed and abandoned by her prime charmer. If she wants to live, she must do it all herself.

There is also a new series, "The Gentleman," a spin-off of Guy Ritchie's 2020 film set in London's East End. It features Eddie Horniman, Duke of Halstead, who becomes involved in London's largest crime network.

But there's more to come from there, and as we move into March, the streaming platform has plenty to get hooked on, so to see the rest of what's coming to Netflix, be sure to check out the following day-by-day recap of what's new on Netflix this week .
