If you’re one of the (many) millions of Netflix subscribers around the world, you’ll know that the streaming service’s content library is practically stuffed with movies and shows.
With so many options to work with, it can be incredibly difficult to choose your next watch. The Netflix Top 10 might be an easy place to start, but you can’t always guarantee what’s popular or trending is always going to be worth streaming. That’s where we come on.
Here at Tom’s Guide, we keep a close eye on the Netflix Top 10 and highlight three shows worth streaming. Right now, those recommendations are a popular spy thriller featuring Keira Knightley, a dark comedy about a dream house, and a comforting, small-town romantic drama.
This article is based on what was in the Netflix Top 10 shows list as of Tuesday, December 24 at 11 a.m. ET.
