On the hunt for your next Netflix show? We've got some suggestions on what to stream next.
Every week, Netflix adds fresh movies and TV shows to its already impressive content library, making an already difficult choice — deciding what to watch on the streaming service next — even harder.
You can always turn to the Netflix Top 10 for some help cutting through the noise, but you can't always guarantee the most popular shows are always worth watching. That's exactly where we come in.
We keep a close eye on the Netflix charts and highlight three shows that are definitely worth watching. Right now, those shows are a new drama based on a shocking real-life story, the final episodes of "Cobra Kai", and a chilling sci-fi German limited series.
This article was recently updated and is now based on what was in the Netflix U.S. Top 10 list as of 1 p.m. ET on Friday, Feb. 14, 2025.
Best shows in the Netflix top 10
'Apple Cider Vinegar'
"Apple Cider Vinegar" is a very binge-able new Australian crime drama based on a shocking true story. In other words, it's practically designed to be a big hit on the streamer. You only need to look back at the success of "Inventing Anna" for proof.
The series is based on disgraced wellness influencer, Belle Gibson (played here by Kaitlyn Dever"). The series takes us back to the early days of social media, and charts Belle's story. She built an influencer empire based on a fabricated story about besting brain cancer through clean eating and alternative remedies).
The show also tracks the path of three other women, all of whom have some sort of connection to Belle.

'Cassandra'
"Cassandra" is a creepy, six-episode German-language sci-fi Netflix series that's proven a popular new addition to the streaming service.
The show sees a family tangle with a retro AI assistant that reawakens when they move into the oldest smart home in the country, decades after the original owner passed away under mysterious circumstances.
Cassandra, as it turns out, is determined never to be alone again, and exhibits increasingly sinister behavior as the ever-present assistant grows more attached to her new family.

'Cobra Kai'
The final episodes of "Cobra Kai" have arrived, and (unsurprisingly), the "Karate Kid" spinoff has shot straight to the top of the Netflix chart upon its return.
This final batch of episodes brings the show to a close. After the shock at the Sekai Taikai tournament, this final batch of episodes puts a bow on everything that's come before, delivering more action and more drama before ending "in a way that has all those '80s movie feels and cheers and tears", as Ralph Macchio said.
