Netflix Top 10 Shows and Movies: New Releases and Trending Today, December 8

Aubrey Plaza is killing it (maybe literally? We'll have to wait and see) right now on Season 2 of The White Lotus, but she also starred in a smart thriller called Emily the Criminal earlier this year. It was added to Netflix yesterday, and it's nice to see it shoot right to the No. 3 spot on the Top 10 Movies list. Over on the TV list, the only new addition today is the just-released fourth season of the dumb and addictive reality dating show Too Hot to Handle. 

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.
