Netflix Top 10 Shows and Movies: New Releases and Trending Today, December 14

Wednesday's reign atop Netflix's daily Top 10 TV shows chart continues on Wednesday, Dec. 14. Yesterday Netflix announced that the teen horror comedy crossed the billion hours watched line and moved into the No. 2 spot on Netflix's most popular English-language shows of all time list three weeks after its release. It won't overtake Stranger Things 4 for the No. 1 spot, but it's still an exceptional performance. It's the third-most popular Netflix show overall, behind Squid Game and Stranger Things. The No. 1 movie for the third day in a row is Denis Villeneuve's crime drama Prisoners.

But as we all know, 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.
