Netflix is home to a massive, ever-changing selection of movies and shows, which means the Netflix Top 10 is always changing.
However, anyone who has signed up for Netflix (or any of the best streaming services, for that matter) will know that the most popular stuff isn't always necessarily worth watching. That's why we keep such a close eye on the Top 10 and regularly highlight the three best shows that you should be keeping an eye on.
Right now, that selection includes a delightful recent comedy from "The Good Place" creator, Mike Schur, a new edge-of-your-seat crime thriller, and a brand-new spy thriller that's shot straight to the top spot in the Netflix charts.

Best shows in the Netflix Top 10
'Black Doves'
"Black Doves" has laid claim to the No. 1 spot in the Netflix Top 10, and, frankly, it's easy to see why: it's an explosive thriller that's a perfect pre-Christmas binge.
"Black Doves" takes viewers to London for an action-packed story following Helen Webb (Kiera Knightley), a professional spy who has been passing on her politician husband's secrets to her secretive, titular organization for the last 10 years. Trouble finally finds Helen when her illicit lover is murdered, and she — along with her old friend Sam (Ben Whishaw) — sets out to find out who killed him, and why, drawing the pair into a deadly conspiracy.

His mission: go undercover as a resident inside the Pacific View Retirement Home in San Francisco and dig around for any clues to aid Julie's investigation into a stolen family heirloom.
