What's Coming And Going From Netflix Canada In March 2021

Yes, Michelle Obama's co-stars are a pair of puppets.

It’s truly mind-blowing that it’s been almost a full year since we all binged “Tiger King.” There are so many examples of how time is meaningless now, but the fact the documentary series dropped on Netflix last March is hard to comprehend.

This March, we’re looking forward to the documentaries. There are documentaries about murder in the Mormon community, about Biggie Smalls, about Blockbuster and about the college admissions scandal. Even without Joe Exotic, it’s looking like a pretty exciting month.
