Riverdale Season 6 is flying up the charts

Riverdale, Cole Sprouse, Erinn Westbrook

Netflix is losing a lot of its licensed content as other streaming services built by legacy studios reclaim their wares, but one thing Netflix still has a hold of is its CW shows, which is why Riverdale is in Netflix's top 5 shows after Season 6 arrived on the platform. Or maybe it's because Riverdale is a supernatural teen spectacle that just has to be watched to be believed. A couple movies also made big climbs up the Netflix Top 10. The 2019 crime thriller The Informant leapt all the way up to No. 3, and Denzel Washington's Flight took off to No. 5. Tom Holland's Uncharted is still very much charted at No. 1, and Neil Gaiman's The Sandman is still the top show. No surprise there.

But who said that popular was the same as good? Below, we list the top 10 movies and shows on Netflix and give our quick take on whether they're actually worth watching or not. We've also added what's new on Netflix today so you can find out what will be on the Top 10 list tomorrow. If you're looking for more Netflix recommendations, we've compiled the best movies on Netflix and the best TV shows on Netflix.
