Most Popular on Netflix: A Look at Today's Top 10
Netflix has been notoriously stingy with its data. Even directors and showrunners have had a hard time gauging if what they’d put out into the world was reaching its intended audience. With the recent advent of the Netflix Top 10, though, we can now get at least one little peek behind the curtain. The list of Netflix’s daily Top 10 Most Popular indicates an omnivorous appetite among the Netflix faithful, from low-budget thrillers to blockbusters, animated kids movies to docu-series of every stripe. Here are the entries for July 27 (only some of which we can recommend) of the most popular TV shows and movies on Netflix.

I am not the target market for Netflix’s teen rom-com The Kissing Booth. Neither, apparently, were critics. But that doesn’t really matter because its target demo liked the original enough to shoot its college-bound sequel straight to the top of today’s most popular on Netflix. And this time, they nearly doubled the Rotten Tomatoes score to a whopping 30%. At this pace, The Kissing Booth 3, already scheduled for 2021, might reach 47%.
