How is The Gray Man doing?
Yesterday Netflix released its Global Top 10 lists of the most popular shows and movies on the streaming service for the week of July 25-31, and action flick The Gray Man was the No. 1 movie for the second week in a row. Its two-week total for hours watched stands at just over 185 million. That number means it's unlikely to overtake Red Notice (364 million hours) and Don't Look Up (360 million hours) on Netlfix's list of all-time most-watched movies in their first 28 days of release, but it might be good enough for third place, where Bird Box currently sits with 282 million hours watched. The Gray Man isn't the No. 1 movie on Netflix's daily Top 10 movies chart today; military romance Purple Hearts is. The No. 1 show is survival drama Keep Breathing.
But who said that popular was the same as good? Below we list off the Top 10 movies and shows on Netflix, and give our quick take on whether they're actually worth watching or not. We've also added what's new on Netflix today so you can find out what will be on the Top 10 list tomorrow. If you're looking for more Netflix recommendations, we've compiled the best movies on Netflix and the best TV shows on Netflix.
