Struggling to settle on a Netflix show to watch this week? Just like all the best streaming services, Netflix is constantly serving up new shows and movies to watch, and that means there's always something new to stream — but only a scant few manage to climb into the streamer's charts.
What's more, if you rely on what's trending in the Netflix top 10 shows list to steer you towards a new binge-watch, you'll know that the streamer's most popular shows aren't necessarily the best things that Netflix has to offer — and that's where I come in.
Best shows in the Netflix top 10
'11.22.63'
Looking for a sci-fi series to get stuck into this week? Netflix just became home to "11.22.63," an eight-part adaptation of Stephen King's time-travel tale of the same name. The series originally premiered on Hulu in 2016, but "11.22.63" has clearly found more fans now that it's on Netflix, as it has already jumped high in the charts.
The series follows Jake Epping (James Franco), a recently divorced high school English teacher from Maine, who is given the chance to change the course of U.S. history. His long-time pal Al Templeton (Chris Cooper) has discovered a time travel portal that transports users back to October 21, 1960, and wants Jake to go on a very important mission: to prevent the assassination of JFK on November 22, 1963.

'His & Hers'
"His & Hers" is Netflix's latest original mystery-thriller, and it's clearly grabbed the attention of countless subscribers, as it's continued to be the No. 1 watch in the days since its debut last week.
First marketed as a "seductive and twisty psychological thriller," William Oldroyd's six-part series is a gripping murder mystery that follows Anna Andrews ("Hedda" star, Tessa Thompson), a TV anchor living in seclusion after stepping back from her career and social life.
When she hears about a murder in Dahlonega, the quiet Georgia town she grew up in, she decides to investigate the case herself. That case is also being investigated by her estranged husband, Detective Jack Harper (Jon Bernthal), and Jack grows increasingly suspicious of her sudden interest in his latest case as part of the Dahlonega sheriff's office, complicating an already-tangled investigation...

'Run Away'
As is tradition at this point, Netflix kicked the year off with another binge-worthy Harlan Coben thriller to follow the likes of "Missing You" and "Fool Me Once," and it was only recently supplanted as the streamer's No. 1 watch by "His & Hers."
This year's drop was "Run Away," a new series that revolves around Simon (James Nesbitt), a man who seemingly leads a perfect life. However, when his eldest daughter runs away from home, his life is turned upside down — and it gets worse when he gets his chance to bring Paige home.
After finding her, vulnerable but not alone in a city park, an argument escalates into shocking violence, and Simon loses Paige all over again. And when he mounts a fresh search to find her, he ends up venturing into a dangerous underworld, tracking a killer, and on the precipice of revealing dark secrets that could tear the family apart forever...
