Netflix is always adding new shows and movies to the platform every week — it's one of the reasons we still rate it as one of the best streaming services you can sign up for — and while that offers subscribers practically endless choice, it always makes choosing what to watch a pretty tall order.
The Netflix top 10 shows list can be a useful tool to avoid endless scrolling, but I'm sure we've all been burned by a trending show at least once before. "Trending" doesn't always mean "must-watch." That's where I come in.
Best shows in the Netflix top 10
'Bridgerton'
Fact is, seeing "Bridgerton" season 4 in Netflix's top 10 is no great surprise: Shondaland's period romance continues to be one of the streamer's most-watched shows of all time.
Millions of viewers have tuned in to watch the Bridgerton siblings fall in love so far, and it seems like season 4 has continued to draw in plenty of fans. And with "Bridgerton" season 4 part 2 on the horizon, I wouldn't expect it to slip out of the charts anytime soon.
"Bridgerton" season 4, if you're not caught up yet, sees Violet's bohemian second son, Benedict (Luke Thompson), taking the lead. His brothers might now be happily married, but Benedict doesn't seem ready to settle down just yet — though a chance encounter with a Lady in Silver (whom we know to be Sophie Baek, played by Yerin Ha) at a masquerade ball leaves him awestruck and determined to uncover her identity.

'Lead Children'
The latest addition to this list is Netflix's "Lead Children," a six-part drama miniseries that's based on a shocking true story. This Polish drama is set in 1970s Communist Poland and follows the dedicated young doctor, Jolanta Wadowska-Król (Joanna Kulig).
Jolanta works in a small industrial city dominated by a large smelting plant, and when local children start showing signs of serious illness and developmental issues, she begins to investigate the pattern of sicknesses.
She concludes that the children living near the steelworks are suffering owing to pollution from the plant, and must work against local resistance to try and get to the bottom of the growing crisis.
TG writer Alix Blackburn dubbed it "a powerful and worthwhile watch," and if you liked shows like last year's "Toxic Town," "Lead Children" could be worth adding to your watchlist.

'The Lincoln Lawyer'
Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia Rulfo) is back for a fourth season of the hit Netflix legal drama, and in "The Lincoln Lawyer" season 4, he's grappling with his toughest case yet: defending himself.
This fourth instalment adapts the sixth of Michael Connelly's "Lincoln Lawyer" books and sees Mickey and his team working tirelessly to prove Haller's innocence in the murder of a former client, Sam Scales.
To thwart Sam's last scam and prove that Haller didn't commit the murder he's accused of, Haller and co. go head-to-head with the DA's office, the FBI, and ghosts from Mickey's own past as they work to find and expose the real killer and save Mickey and his firm.
