Flicking through the Netflix Top 10 and trying to decide what to watch next? Let us help.
One of the main reasons we still rate Netflix as one of the very best streaming services around is the streamer's huge content library. Here at Tom's Guide, we frequently pull our favorite three options out of the list to help you commit to a new show.
As of 10 a.m. ET on Tuesday, September 10, the three Netflix shows we'd recommend above everything else in the Netflix Top 10 are a brand new mystery thriller that's gone right to the No. 1 spot, a fantastic mythological Netflix Original. and the latest installment of a hit Netflix reality series.
If none of those sound like solid choices for you, be sure to check out our guide to the best shows on Netflix or our round-up of everything that's new to Netflix in September 2024 for even more streaming recommendations. Otherwise, you can find more info about our three picks (and the full Netflix Top 10 list) below.
'Kaos'
"Kaos" is a difficult series to sum up, but it's also... brilliant. It's the latest project from Charlie Covell ("The End of the F***ing World") and shows us a version of our modern world where the Greek Gods are alive and well.
At the top of the food chain is Zeus (played by Jeff Goldblum). Our King of the Gods has been living it large for some time... but a newly discovered forehead wrinkle turns his world upside down as he sincerely believes it heralds his downfall. As he spots more signs, he grows more and more paranoid... and as we soon learn, his suspicions are well-founded.
While his fellow gods deal with their own changing attitudes and issues, a small group of mere mortals — each from an entirely different walk of life — are working towards their destinies: a cosmic battle with Zeus. Any one of them could well be the one destined to topple him. Will he manage to maintain the status quo?

'Selling Sunset'
Netflix's hit reality/property show is taking us back to Los Angeles to show us around a fresh batch of luxury homes... and to dish up plenty more drama from the Oppenheim Group office.
During shooting, the luxury real estate market was in crisis, and the cast was under even more pressure to make some sales to stay on top. And in season 8, that same high-pressure environment gives rise to professional and personal challenges for our team of realtors... especially seeing as some fresh faces like Alanna Gold were dead-set on making a big impact at the office.

'The Perfect Couple'
"The Perfect Couple" is a new Netflix mystery thriller that rocketed straight to the No. 1 spot in the Netflix Top 10 immediately after release... and it's continued to cling onto that ranking ever since.
Based on a bestselling 2018 novel from Elin Hilderbrand, "The Perfect Couple" is a murder mystery that takes us to beautiful Nantucket, amid prep for what's sure to be the wedding of the season between Amelia Sacks (Eve Hewson) and Benji Winbury (Billy Howle). The Winbury family is one of the wealthiest families in the region, and, despite matriarch Greer's (Kidman) disapproval, Amelia is about to become part of the dynasty.
Greer and her husband Tag (Liev Schreiber) have spared no expense, and everything's going swimmingly... until a body is found on the beach. Cue a whodunnit where secrets are just waiting to be spilled. It's just six episodes long, and begging to be binged.
