In between Netflix shows, and in need of a new recommendation? You've come to the right place. As one of the biggest and best streaming services in the business, Netflix is constantly adding new shows and movies to the platform. More choice sounds like a good thing, but it can also make settling on your next show a bit of a headache.

If you can't abide scrolling endlessly through genres and categories, it's tempting to turn to the Netflix top 10 shows list for help, though you can't always guarantee what's trending will be worth watching... and that's where I come in.

Best shows in the Netflix top 10

'Bridgerton'

Watch On

Shondaland's enchanting period romance needs no introduction by now, as "Bridgerton" has been one of Netflix's most-watched shows since it debuted back in 2020. Across four seasons, millions of us have streamed the show and followed several of the Bridgerton siblings as they find their perfect partners, and now it's Benedict's (Luke Thompson) turn in the spotlight.

If you're not up to speed, "Bridgerton" season 4 part 1 turns the focus on Violet's bohemian second son. While his elder and younger brothers are both now happily married, Benedict doesn't feel quite ready to settle down... but a chance meeting at the Bridgerton masquerade ball with a Lady in Silver (whom we know to be Sophie Baek, played by Yerin Ha) leaves him awestruck and determined to uncover her identity. Already binged it? Part 2 will bring this Cinderella-style love story to a close in a couple of weeks, on Feb. 26, 2026 — giving you plenty of time to binge-watch the first chapter at least one more time.

Watch On

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 faces his toughest case yet. Clearly, everyone needed to see it, too, as the show's overtaken "Bridgerton" as Netflix's top watch.

This latest installment is based on the sixth of Michael Connelly's 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 Haller stands accused of a murder he didn't commit, he and his team 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.

Interested in getting drawn into a new spy thriller? Netflix's new German original "Unfamiliar" might be the show for you — and as it's shot to third place in the Netflix top 10, so clearly Netflix subscribers have an appetite for espionage. And at just six episodes in length, it's an easy binge to cram into your week.

"Unfamiliar" introduces us to Simon (Felix Kramer) and Meret Schäfer (Susanne Wolff), a married couple who used to work for Germany's foreign intelligence, but who now operate a clandestine safe house called "The Nest." During their daughter's 16th birthday, an injured stranger shows up in search of help. This triggers a chain of escalating events with ties to the Schäfers' past, pulling them back into their old life and throwing them up against assassins, Russian operatives, and even members of their former agency.
