Best shows in the Netflix top 10
'Black Mirror'
Impressively, "Black Mirror" is still clinging to a spot within the Netflix top 10 shows list, even though "Black Mirror" season 7 arrived almost a month ago.
The latest instalment of Charlie Brooker's twisted sci-fi anthology tackles everything from predatory subscription services and another episode connected to eccentric game developer Colin Ritman (Will Poulter) to a full-blown sequel to "USS Callister" and an ep dealing with as gaslighting and the Mandela effect.

'The Four Seasons'
"The Four Seasons" is Netflix's latest comedy from Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield — and it's rocketed straight to the No. 1 spot within days of release.
The series is a fresh adaptation of the 1981 movie of the same name and revolves around a collection of six old friends (played by a stacked cast featuring Tina Fey, Will Forte, Steve Carell, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Colman Domingo, and Marco Calvani) who head off on a relaxing weekend getaway.
Their world is upended when one of the three couples reveals they're about to split up. Across a year, we follow the friends on four separate vacations and see how this affects their new dynamic.
