Luckily, the streaming service has a ton of movies and shows to choose from in its top-rated section, which ranks popular titles based on what’s trending. The best part? The list is updated daily, making it an ideal place for me to find new suggestions (like XO, Kitty).
From Raw to American Primeval, keep reading for the top ten Netflix series, and my personal editor’s pick of the week.
Editor’s Pick of the Week: Missing You
Based on Harlan Coben’s namesake book, the thriller revolves around an NYPD detective, who is forced to reopen a case involving her dad’s murder. It all starts when she joins a dating app and matches with her ex-fiancé, who disappeared years before.
1. Raw
Calling all wrestling fans! WWE Raw has made its way to Netflix, bringing unforgettable drama and live action to the ring every single week.
2. XO, Kitty
The romantic dramedy series focuses on, you guessed it, Kitty Song Covey, AKA the younger sister of Lara Jean from the To All the Boys film series. This time, the young matchmaker learns a few things about her own love life. (FYI, season two just hit Netflix on January 16.)
3. American Primeval
The drama series offers a dramatized look at the Old West, focusing on the historic confrontation between settlers, Native Americans and the Mormon militia—and the brutal aftermath that followed.
4. Squid Game
The popular series has been rising on the charts ever since season two debuted in December. The new installment follows Player 456 as he re-enters the game in the hope of ending the madness once and for all.
5. Sakamoto Days
The Japanese manga series follows a retired hitman named Taro Sakamoto. He left his dark career behind him to start a family—well, until his past comes back to haunt him.
6. Younger
Liza is a single mom who’s trying to re-enter the workforce at age 40. When she realizes that her age could impact her opportunities, she pretends to be 26 and gets hired as an assistant, where she works alongside other 20-something colleagues who could blow her cover at any moment.
7. The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live
The popular spin-off explores the romantic relationship between Rick Grimes and Michonne in the post-apocalyptic world. The events in The Ones Who Live take place after the conclusion of the original Walking Dead series.
8. Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action

9. Castlevania: Nocturne
Don’t be fooled by the animation, because Castlevania: Nocturne is a dark adult horror series. The story takes place in France and follows a young Vampire hunter as he battles against an evil leader.
10. The Breakthrough
The true-crime drama follows detective John Sudin as he tries to solve a cold case that’s been haunting a small town for 16 years. At the time of the double homicide, DNA testing wasn’t as reliable as it is today. So, John teams up with a genealogist to conduct brand-new research.
