Netflix Top 10 Shows and Movies: New and Trending Today, August 31
I Am a Killer
Netflix
Who is a killer? I Am a Killer. Season 3 of Netflix’s declarative true crime series debuts at No. 2 on the streaming service’s Daily Top 10 TV shows list for Wednesday, Aug. 31. Netflix knows the rules of supply and demand; there’s demand for interviews with death row inmates, so it supplies them. The No. 1 show is still Echoes, the Michelle Monaghan-led limited series that has surprisingly strong staying power — it’s been in the top spot for almost two weeks — while the No. 1 movie is the Kevin Hart-Mark Wahlberg buddy comedy Me Time. Meanwhile, The Gray Man has slid off the chart for the first time since it was released in late July.
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.
