A new teen sci-fi series is flying up the charts
We blinked, so we missed another Netflix series that seemingly came out of nowhere to storm the Netflix Top 10 Shows list. The Imperfects, a Canadian sci-fi series about teens imbued with monstrous superpowers, was released yesterday and debuts on the top 10 today. It wasn't enough to dethrone Emily Deschanel's The Devil in Ohio, but it was enough to keep Dated and Related at third. On the Netflix Top 10 Movies list, it's all about Me. Despicable Me 2 rose to No. 2, Me Time is at No. 3, and Despicable Me is No. 6.
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.
