Netflix Top 10 Shows and Movies: New and Trending Today, August 30

The popularity of Netflix shows and movies is easy to measure — just look at the lists of the top 10 movies and shows on Netflix below — but impossible to predict. Who would have known that the Netflix original rom-com That's Amor would rocket up to No. 2 on the Netflix Top 10 Movies list? Not even Netflix knew, otherwise it would have had promotional pictures for the film on its press site, but instead there's nothing. Nothing! That is NOT amor, Netflix. It's by far the biggest mover of the day, as Echoes stays firmly atop the Top 10 Shows list and Me Time lords over the Top 10 Movies list. 

But popular doesn't necessarily mean good. Below, we list 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.
