Full Netflix top 10

There are many reasons Netflix has continued to be one of the best streaming services on the market, including the fact that it's always serving up new shows and movies to users. Of course, the streamer's huge content library also means deciding what to watch can be a nightmare.

Even if you rely solely on what's trending on Netflix, you can't necessarily trust that the series in the Netflix top 10 list will be winners. That's where I come in. Every week, I highlight my personal three picks from within the streamer's most-watched list, so you've always got a ready-made set of Netflix recommendations to turn to next time you're between shows.

Best shows in the Netflix top 10

'Black Rabbit'

Watch On

If you're looking to get sucked into a gritty crime thriller (or you liked "Ozark"), then "Black Rabbit" might be your next Netflix must-watch. This recently-released Netflix series stars Jude Law and Jason Bateman as two brothers pushed to their very limits in New York City's nightlife scene. Jake (Law) is the charismatic owner of the titular Black Rabbit, a restaurant and VIP lounge on the cusp of being a major hotspot in town. But when Vince (Bateman) unexpectedly arrives in town, trouble soon follows.

'House of Guinness'

Watch On

As a long-time "Peaky Blinders" fan, I was practically hard-wired to enjoy "House of Guinness," which is the latest period piece from the creator of "Peaky Blinders," Steven Knight, but in my eyes, this is another compelling, based-on-history tale, about another fascinating family.

This time, we're heading back in time to 1860s Dublin, wherein the Guinness family (yes, that Guinness) are at a crossroads: family patriarch Sir Benjamin Guinness has passed away, and his four children, Arthur (Anthony Boyle), Edward (Louise Partridge, Anne (Emily Fairn), and Ben (Fionn O'Shea) are left reeling and facing allies and enemies alike as they fight for the family brewing business, and their own personal interests.

'Wayward'

Watch On

Mae Martin's "Wayward" also just landed, and this psychological thriller promises to whisk viewers away to Tall Pines, a setting billed by Tudum as "a bucolic town where nothing is what it seems." It's a twisted watch, and not what you might expect to come from the "Feel Good" star.

As anyone who tunes in will know, Tall Pines holds some sinister secrets. Shortly after officer Alex Dempsey (Martin) and his pregnant wife Laura (Gadon) moves into their new home, Dempsey connects with two students fleeing the local school for "troubled teens". As Dempsey continues his investigation, he begins to suspect that school leader Evelyn (Toni Collette) could well be the center of all the stranger goings-on...
