Looking for something new to stream on Netflix ? The streamer is always gaining new shows and movies; it's one of the big reasons we still rate it as one of the best streaming services out there. A huge content library can be a big boon, but it can also make deciding what to watch quite a challenge.
Naturally, you might be tempted to look at the Netflix Top 10 Shows list for fresh show recommendations. Here at Tom's Guide, we frequently look through this list and pull out the three best things that you shouldn't skip.
If you don't like the sound of any of these recommendations, 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 . Otherwise, here's some more info about those three great TV shows that you can stream right now on Netflix.
'American Murder: Laci Peterson'
Netflix has become one of the biggest streaming platforms for true crime stories and the truly shocking "American Murder: Laci Peterson" has become its latest hit.
The three-part series dropped on August 14 and has continued to hold onto a spot in the Netflix Top 10 Shows List ever since (and has frequently been the streamer's No. 1 show). Our UK Entertainment Editor Rory Mellon recently crowned it " the best true crime show of the year ."
If you're unfamiliar with the case, the series reinvestigates the 2002 murder of Laci Peterson who was eight months pregnant at the time), who went missing from her Californian home on Christmas Eve. Her body was eventually located in the San Francisco Bay area, and her husband, Scott Peterson, was identified as the prime suspect, though he maintained his innocence throughout the trial.
Director Skye Borgman's miniseries looks back at the case and includes interviews with plenty of people connected to it, including law enforcement figures, Laci's mother, and Amber Frey, the woman Scott was secretly seeing and who later testified against him.
AMC still has a strong hold on the Netflix Top 10, with "Dark Winds" being one of three separate shows in the list. If you haven't seen it yet, "Dark Winds" is a 1970s-set crime thriller that takes us to the American Southwest. It introduces us to Navajo police officers Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon) and Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon) and follows as the pair investigate a string of crimes across the Navajo reservation.
The show comes highly recommended; fellow Tom's Guide writer Alix Blackburn praised it as "a must-watch for any thriller fan," pointing to the show's gripping storytelling and unpredictable twists in particular. Both seasons also hold perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, which means we're not the only ones telling you to watch it, either.
"Kaos" is a difficult series to sum up. 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.
Here, Zeus (played by Jeff Goldblum) is living it up as the King of the Gods... but when he discovers a new wrinkle on his forehead, he begins to suspect his downfall is coming. As he spots more signs, he grows more and more paranoid... and as we soon learn, his suspicions are well-founded.
His fellow gods each have problems of their own, but that's not the big issue. A small group of mortals, each from an entirely different walk of life, but they're all cosmically connected to the impending battle with the King of the Gods, and each could be the one destined to topple him.
