Dahmer might be one of Netflix's biggest shows ever
In spite of a lack of advance promotion, bad press from victim's families, and a baffling title, limited series Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story had the fourth-biggest opening week on Netflix ever, behind only Stranger Things Seasons 3 and 4 and Bridgerton Season 2, according to What's On Netflix's Kasey Moore (though with the caveat that it was released on a Wednesday, not a Friday, so it had a couple more days to gather viewers). A true crime drama about one of America's most infamous serial killers from superstar writer-producer Ryan Murphy seems like a slam dunk on paper, and it turns out it is in practice, too. After years of projects that didn't catch on, Murphy has finally delivered a hit for Netflix by giving the people what they want.
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.
