Top Netflix Movies for the Week

We've somehow rolled right on into March, and things are starting to heat up on Netflix. A ton of great new shows and movies are new on Netflix this week, including the gritty "Damsel," starring Millie Bobby Brown.

"Damsel" puts Brown in the role of jilted princess Elodie, who finds herself betrayed and left for dead by Prime Charming, as she realizes there's no one coming to save her. If she wants to live, she's going to have to do it all herself.


There's also "The Gentlemen," a new series spinoff of Guy Ritchie's 2020 film that's set in the heart of London's East End. It introduces the Duke of Halstead, Eddie Horniman, who finds himself embroiled in one of London's biggest crime networks.

But there's even more where that came from. Now that we're deep in March, there's plenty to sink your teeth into on the streaming platform. To see the rest of what's coming to the service, be sure to check out our complete day-by-day rundown of what's new on Netflix this week below.
