Netflix Top 10 Shows and Movies: New and Trending Today, October 19

It's no mystery why people like watching Unsolved Mysteries: The stories make you go "Wow, that's crazy." Netflix's revival of the true crime OG just returned for a new season almost exactly two years after the previous season ended. It's in the No. 3 spot on Netflix's Top 10 TV shows ranking on Wednesday, Oct. 19. Impressively, it managed to reach that high spot with just three episodes — the rest of the season is being released in chunks on Oct. 25 and Nov. 1. Only The Watcher and Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story are ahead of it. The Curse of Bridge Hollow is the No. 1 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.
