History fans have found lots to watch on Netflix recently, with some impressive series on the past, and Turning Point takes a look at a period of time that's a little more recent.
Turning Point: The Bomb and the Cold War has a pretty expansive remit. It looks at the progression of the Cold War, all the way from the end of the Second World War up until the modern day. With loads of interviews, it'll give you a glimpse into geopolitics over that time, which should explain a little about the weird current state of the world.
Bandidos
- Mexican adventure series sets sail on Wednesday, March 13
Bring in the summer a little early with Bandidos, as the new Mexican adventure series takes place across the sunny Caribbean.
Bandidos is about three friends who come across an ancient treasure map, that could help them find some long-lost treasure somewhere in the Maya Riviera. Various obstacles stand in their way as they try to complete this treasure hunt and claim the Snake King's lost loot.

Art of Love
- Turkish romance action movie arrives on Thursday, March 14
There's a new romantic action movie coming from Turkey that sounds a little like Netflix smash-hit Red Notice, but with a bit more romance in the mix.
The story centers on Alin, who works for the Art Crime Unit at Interpol. After spending years hunting for a mysterious art thief, she eventually discovers that it's actually a man she was one engaged to. Suddenly, her hunt for a thief becomes a lot more personal.
Chicken Nugget
- Korean comedy series arrives on Thursday, March 14
Netflix's weirdest new series in a while comes at us from South Korea, and it's all about a woman called Min-ah who's turned into food.
After Min-ah's father Sun-man makes a machine and accidentally turns his daughter into a chicken nugget with it, the man must team up with his intern Baek-joong to find a way to reverse this mistake of science.
As that description suggests, it's a strange new series, but that description has been the load-bearing part of Netflix's marketing around it.
Irish Wish
- Romance movie lands on Friday, March 15
Lindsay Lohan is back at it, with her most recent film transporting her to — you guessed it — Ireland as she hunts for love.
In Irish Wish, Lohan plays Maddie, who travels to Ireland to attend the wedding of her best friend and the man Maddie is in love with. When she makes a wish for true love, she wakes up to find her switched places with her best friend, and it all seems perfect... until she realizes that the perfect person for her might still be out
The Outreau Case: A French Nightmare
- French legal docuseries debuting on Friday, March 15
To most French, 'A French Nightmare' would simply refer to 'the British', but for a certain family from north France, it means a whole lot more.
The Outreau Case is about a French legal case of the same name, and the implications it had on the legal system of the country going forward. In early 2000s, in the town of Outreau, a family is accused of drastic acts against its children... and the media circus surrounding the events threaten to discredit the victims completely.
