Netflix Top 10 Shows and Movies: New Releases and Trending Today, November 29

Johnny Lee famously sang, "Looking for love in all the wrong places," but if you're looking for Love Island, there's really only right places. The American version (specifically, the CBS edition) of the show is climbing Netflix's Top 10 Shows list since its Netflix debut just before Thanksgiving, but the series is also streaming on Paramount+ and on Peacock, which picked it up for an exclusive fourth season after CBS canceled it. And the superior U.K. version is still wildly popular on Hulu. Successful reality television is like a well-run, popular food cart with one item on the menu: low overhead, high demand. For Tuesday, Nov. 29, Wednesday and 1899 remain tops on the shows list, and The Noel Diary is Netflix's most popular movie.

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.

New Netflix Shows and Movies Today

• Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields: True crime series about several murders that happened along a Texas highway.
