The Netflix top 5 is an ever-changing ranking of the shows that are currently generating the most interest on the streaming service and a great place to start when looking for some of the best Netflix shows and you might even find a new favorite series in the process.
However, a show finding its way into the streamer’s most-watched list is no firm guarantee of its quality. Even claiming the coveted No.1 doesn’t necessarily mean a show is worth your time. Plenty of mediocre, or downright disappointing, shows have made the list over the years.

(Note, this article is based on the Netflix most-watched list as of Tuesday, August 22 at 7 a.m. E.T.).
