'American Gods' has been deemed unfilmable. Starz stood up to the challenge and have created an eight-episode adaption. Any good? We think so.

#Bingewatch: Your #TV #show guide for March 4th-10th

Hey bingewatcher. Hope you had a weekend jam-packed with cramming in all your favorite shows. Plus, if you haven’t already, make sure you hop on the hype train for our #SaveSaturdays rewatch challenge happening every weekend, as part of our campaign to renew tragically cancelled shows such as Shadowhunters, Dark Matter, and Timeless. Right now, we’re gearing up for the oncoming storm of hot takes for the MCU’s first of three blockbuster extravaganzas, Captain Marvel, released this Friday, but until then we’ve still got time to showcase the latest Netflix originals and returning shows hitting your screens this week. We’re still a little shook by Stephanie Beatriz’s stunning directing debut for pretty much the best episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine this season, but some rival comedies are stepping up to the plate this week. Now Apocalypse looks like a wild trip, and the complete opposite of Ricky Gervais’ new dark comedy After Life, but both unique shows have every chance of taking the comedy crown for us this month. If you’re more into prestige drama, this week sees the highly anticipated return of American Gods, the sprawling adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s epic novel. The first season, headed by the peerless Bryan Fuller (Hannibal), has to be up there with one of the most impressive first seasons of a show we’ve seen in recent years, so we’ve been all but drooling at the mouth in anticipation for what the next slot of episodes could have in store. Check out all the releases below, and get bingewatching!

Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 6 Context

Stephanie Beatriz made her directorial debut with season 6’s “The Tattler,” an episode that aired on March 7, 2019, and quickly earned praise for balancing sharp character work with the show’s signature ensemble energy. The season as a whole leaned into deeper storylines for Rosa and Jake while keeping the precinct’s chaotic rhythm intact, and Beatriz’s episode stood out as a fan favorite that showcased her growing behind-the-camera skills. Viewers who bingewatch the full season now can see how that episode fits into the larger arc that carried the series through its later NBC and Peacock years.

MCU Captain Marvel Release Tie-In

Captain Marvel hit theaters on March 8, 2019, marking the first MCU solo film centered on a female lead and giving fans a new cosmic hero to follow. The movie’s March timing overlapped with a busy week of television premieres, and many viewers used the film as a break between catching up on returning shows or starting new ones. Its box-office performance and post-credits setup fueled ongoing conversations about how the MCU would connect to future TV projects, a thread that kept running through the year’s release slate.

#SaveSaturdays Rewatch Campaign Update

The #SaveSaturdays initiative pushed fans to revisit canceled series like Shadowhunters, Dark Matter, and Timeless every weekend in early 2019, hoping renewed attention might spark revival interest. While the campaign generated strong social-media engagement, none of the three shows returned for new seasons. The effort still highlighted how dedicated viewers could keep titles alive in the streaming conversation long after their original networks moved on.

Starz Sunday Block Overview

Starz loaded its March 10 lineup with three distinct titles that gave subscribers plenty of variety in one evening. American Gods brought back its mythic scope, Now Apocalypse delivered surreal LA comedy, and Tricky Dick arrived on CNN as a four-part documentary that later shifted to March 17. The network’s decision to cluster these releases created a de-facto Sunday block that rewarded bingewatchers willing to hop between fantasy, satire, and historical nonfiction in a single night.

Secret City (Netflix)

Original air date June 5th, 2016 Season 2 available on Netflix from Mar. 6th, 2019 Australian series adapting Chris Uhlmann and Steve Lewis’ thrilling series of political novels following press gallery journalist Harriet Dunkley (Fringe’s Anna Torv) as she investigates a thread of conspiracies amid broiling tensions between America and China. As she probes deeper, she starts to uncover a secret plot that threatens her career and the freedom of every Australian citizen. Season 2 will depart from the structure of the original books, though the writers serve as story consultants for a season filled with twists as Dunkley uncovers a secret military operation that calls the Australian Prime Minister’s authority into question. The two-season run concluded without further installments, and the series left the platform in March 2026.

A.P. Bio (NBC)

When he literally crashes into a high school job as a replacement biology teacher he refuses to teach the kids anything they should be learning, instead manipulating them to get back at his nemesis.

The Order (Netflix)

Available on Netflix from Mar. 7th, 2019 A sexy college freshman is thrown into a world of magic and mayhem after uncovering a hidden war between supernatural creatures. Sound familiar?

The season aired amid ongoing renewal talks that kept the show on NBC for another year.

After Life (Netflix)

Available on Netflix from Mar. 8th, 2019 Ricky Gervais stars as a man on the verge of suicide when his wife unexpectedly dies. Rather than following a bleak pattern of depression, Tony instead sets out on a mission to live as long as possible in order to punish the world for what it took away from him. He begins by saying and doing what he wants, when he wants – but soon it sends his relationships spiralling out of control when his family and colleagues try to make him a better person. After his recent standup special, we’re not quite back on board the Ricky Gervais hype train, but his track record with dark sitcoms is strong enough to give his latest effort a try. The series ultimately ran for three seasons through 2022.

Tin Star (Amazon)

As a tempestuous war between the Old and New Gods begins boiling under America’s surface, Shadow struggles to define his place in an unfamiliar world. Season 2 marked the point where Fuller and Michael Green stepped away from the showrunner role, and the series finished after three seasons total.

The Case Against Adnan Syed (HBO)

Airs Sundays from Mar. 10th, 2019 True crime documentary series lifted from 2014’s wildly popular Serial, an audio series that set both the podcasting and crime worlds ablaze. Convicted almost 20 years ago for the murder of Hae Min Lee, Adnan Syed has remained staunchly opposed to his sentence since he was jailed in 2000. Many are still convinced that Adnan was falsely convicted, and this documentary picks up where the podcast left off by exploring the circumstances around his right to a new trial, which has yet to materialise. If you were enthralled yet unsatisfied by Serial’s ambiguous ending, make sure to tune in to this one, as it promises brand new evidence and interviews that aim to get further to the truth than we’ve ever seen before. A fifth episode arrived in September 2025 that revisited later developments in the case.
