Finding your next watch on Netflix shouldn’t feel like endless scrolling. The trending section might offer some solid picks, but not everything sitting in the top 10 is guaranteed to be worth it. That’s exactly why we track the Netflix streaming charts. Each week, we cut the top 10 down to three worthy picks, making sure you’ve got an easy set of recommendations ready when you need something new.
This week, that includes the second season of a revenge-fueled comedy-drama, a chilling documentary centered around a cult, and a returning comedy with Kate Hudson. More details on each of the three picks can be found below, alongside a full look at everything in the Netflix top 10 shows list currently.
Note: This article was recently updated and is now based on the Netflix U.S. top 10 as it stands on Friday, April 24, 2026.
Best shows in the Netflix top 10
‘Beef’
After three years away, “Beef” makes its return on Netflix with a reworked anthology approach for season 2. Swapping in a fresh cast led by Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton, and Cailee Spaeny, the series drops them into a tightly wound scenario primed to unravel. Having seen all eight episodes myself, I can confirm the drama hits even harder this time around.
“Beef” season 2 follows two couples whose lives collide inside an exclusive country club. Newly engaged employees Ashley (Spaeny) and Austin (Melton) witness a violent argument between their boss, Josh (Isaac), and his wife, Lindsay (Mulligan). Ashley secretly records the fight and uses it to blackmail the couple for money and job opportunities. As Josh struggles with financial pressure and begins embezzling from the club, both couples find themselves locked in a growing cycle of deceit.

‘Trust Me: The False Prophet’
Netflix’s latest true crime obsession has arrived in the form of “Trust Me: The False Prophet.” The four-part docuseries broke into the top of the charts on Netflix just two days after premiering, and while it doesn’t reshape the genre, it examines a deeply unsettling manipulation case. It’s a chilling and disturbing experience that will leave you visibly unsettled.
“Trust Me: The False Prophet” follows cult expert Christine Marie and filmmaker Tolga Katas as they move into a remote Utah community tied to the Fundamentalist Latter-Day Saints. While documenting life inside the sect, they encounter Samuel Bateman, a former member who claims religious authority and begins building his own following. Embedding themselves deeper, Christine and Tolga secretly record conversations, gather evidence, and convince Bateman they are making a harmless documentary.

'Running Point'
"Running Point" season 2 just arrived, and evidently, everyone wants to see what Isla Gordon's (Kate Hudson) next move is going to be, as fans have sent the show straight to the top of the Netflix charts.
After proving that she's capable of leading the Los Angeles Waves last year, the family basketball franchise is finally rebounding, and Isla's out to prove she isn't just keeping the seat at the top of the table warm for her brother Cam (Justin Theroux)... but she doesn't know that Cam's quietly working to reclaim his post in the background. To survive, she's going to need to dream up a fresh game plan and juggle her personal life with the pressures of running a franchise.
