Prime Video is the place to be for great crime stories this month. In March, they've added some new movies and shows, but three titles stood out to me above all else.

We've got some excellent new releases coming up, including a new Nicole Kidman series and a reality series about three dynamic judges. All three picks fall under the crime genre, but they're all very different.

Tribunal Justice season 3

When: March 2

Judge Judy herself is the creator behind Tribunal Justice, an addictive Prime Video reality series which centers on a panel of three legal professionals as collectively adjudicate and debate real cases in Los Angeles.

Tanya Acker, Patricia DiMango and Adam Levy are the team carefully examining each case and they don't often agree, so if you like all the drama of reality TV, you'll certainly find it here.

Scarpetta

Scarpetta is a new Prime Video original starring an ensemble cast. It's an adaptation of Patricia Cornwell's book series, and follows forensic pathologist Kay Scarpetta as she unravels mysteries and solve crimes across Florida, Virginia, and South Carolina.

Nicole Kidman leads the cast in the titular role and is joined by Jamie Lee Curtis as Scarpetta's older sister Dorothy, Ariana DeBose as Dorothy's daughter, and Bobby Cannavale as a former detective. I'm very excited to see these huge names adapting such a beloved series, and I have high hopes for this.

Deadloch season 2

Creators: Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan
Cast: Kate Box, Madeleine Sami, Alicia Gardiner, Nina Oyama
Episodes: 16

Deadloch returns for season 2 and if you haven't seen this excellent series, I highly recommend catching up. Set in the sleepy settlement of Deadloch, on Tasmania's coastline, we follow two female detectives, Dulcie Collins and Eddie Redcliffe, who reluctantly take on a case together.

Why reluctant, you might ask? Well, they couldn't be more different, often with hilarious results. If you like dark comedy with your crime drama, then Deadloch will be right up your alley. They'll be taking on a new case together in season 2, and I'm sure I'll be on the edge of my seat again.

She has written several reviews in her time, starting with a small self-ran blog called Lucy Goes to Hollywood before moving onto bigger websites such as What's on TV and What to Watch, with TechRadar being her most recent venture. Her interests primarily lie within horror and thriller, loving nothing more than a chilling story that keeps her thinking moments after the credits have rolled.

When she’s not scaring herself half to death with the various shows and movies she watches, she likes to unwind by playing video games on Easy Mode and has no shame in admitting she’s terrible at them. She also quotes The Simpsons religiously and has a Blinky the Fish tattoo, solidifying her position as a complete nerd.
