There's just one new title on Netflix's top 10 TV shows and movies lists on Thursday, Nov. 17 (the TV list is in exactly the same order as it was yesterday): The Wonder, a period mystery drama starring Florence Pugh as a British nurse investigating an apparent medical miracle in rural Ireland in 1862. It's at No. 2 on the movies list today, behind Where the Crawdads Sing, which has been No. 1 all week.
