March 2023 is bringing with it a host of exciting new additions to Prime Video, including the highly anticipated TV series adaptation of Daisy Jones and the Six. Just like these shows, there's a lot to look forward to on Prime Video, and the shows that are mentioned below are some of the most anticipated shows of the year.
1) The Pimp – No F***ing Fairytale (March 3)
"The Pimp - No F***ing Fairytale", a German production initially called "Luden", delves into the harrowing reality of the sex industry and the mistreatment of women by their male customers. It's important to mention that this series is not for the faint of heart, and viewer discretion is advised. This show does not aim to sugarcoat or downplay the severity of the issues at hand. While the show's intense themes may be too much for some viewers to handle, for those who can get past the language barrier, it offers a unique perspective into a profession that is fraught with danger and tragedy. Moreover, this show highlights the social stigma surrounding sex work that exacerbates the problem and leaves numerous victims in its wake each year.
2) Daisy Jones & The Six (March 3)
On March 3rd, Prime Video will release a miniseries comprising ten episodes entitled "Daisy Jones & The Six." Based on the book of the same title by Taylor Jenkins Reid, the series chronicles the rise and fall of the band during the 1970s. While the show delves into the creation of music, it also explores the human cost of success. In today's music industry, and most industries, art is no longer created purely for the sake of creation; rather, it is a means to generate revenue and gain power. As viewers, we witness the band's downfall following their meteoric rise, with fake interviews from band members reflecting on their experiences. The series offers a poignant commentary on the price of fame and the consequences of sacrificing art for commercial gain.
3) Class of ‘07 (March 17)
When a group of former female students reunites at their all-girls high school, they are thrust into a dangerous fight for survival in the enthralling drama Class of '07. Stranded on their school campus-turned-island in the aftermath of an apocalyptic tidal wave, the classmates must work together to endure the challenges that lay ahead. The leading cast, including Emily Browning, Megan Smart, and Caitlin Stacey, promises an exciting and gripping performance, with Browning's return to the screen adding to the anticipation among fans. Browning, known for her earlier roles in movies like Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events and Sucker Punch, is set to dazzle in this thrilling new part.
As they battle against the odds, the women will need to utilize their skills and strengths to survive. Amidst their struggle, they will uncover hidden secrets and rediscover their shared history.
4) Swarm (March 17)
Donald Glover's latest creation, Swarm, features a one-of-a-kind plotline. The show's focus is on Dre (played by Dominique Fishback), an ardent fan of a particular singer. Viewers will accompany Dre on her journey as she explores new and occasionally unsettling ways of expressing her admiration for the artist.

7) The Power (March 31)
The Power based on the book by Naomi Alderman, published in 2016, presents a science fiction narrative that introduces a world where teenage girls suddenly possess the astonishing ability to electrocute anyone with a single touch of their hands, inflicting excruciating pain. This shift in power dynamics results in a radical transformation of the world, as victims gain the ability to free themselves from their oppressors. However, as some girls become inebriated with their newfound power, they recklessly wield it without regard for the agony they inflict. To protect their sons from harm, parents resort to dressing them in women's clothing. Although the struggle between genders shifts, the struggle between social classes persists. This newly transformed world eerily resembles the old one, revealing that while the power balance may shift, fundamental societal issues remain ingrained.
Let's see whether these shows coming out in March can live up to their hype.
