Best Netflix top 10 shows — top 3 series you need to binge-watch this week (April 28-May 4)
Based on Netflix's U.S. top 10 list as of April 28, 2026, three standout series are recommended for viewers: 'Running Point' Season 2, the British psychological thriller 'Unchosen,' and the animated 'Stranger Things: Tales from ‘85.' While popularity doesn’t always indicate quality, these shows combine strong viewership with engaging storytelling. 'Running Point' offers uplifting sports drama, 'Unchosen' explores escape from a cult, and 'Tales from ‘85' provides a lighter take on the 'Stranger Things' universe. All three are currently trending and available to stream on Netflix.
- ▪'Running Point' Season 2, starring Kate Hudson, is currently the top-watched show on Netflix in the U.S., following a woman managing a basketball team amid family and professional challenges.
- ▪'Unchosen,' a U.K.-produced psychological thriller, centers on a woman in a conservative Christian cult who begins seeking independence after a chance encounter.
- ▪The animated spin-off 'Stranger Things: Tales from ‘85' is set between Seasons 2 and 3 of the main series and features the original characters voiced by new actors.
- ▪'Unchosen' stars Asa Butterfield and Molly Windsor, and is described as a creepy, character-driven cult drama gaining steady viewership.
- ▪The recommendations are based on the Netflix U.S. top 10 list as of April 28, 2026, and reflect shows that are both popular and critically worthwhile.
