Tired of staring at Netflix and trying to decide what to watch next? Here at Tom's Guide, we regularly take a look at the Netflix Top 10 shows list and pull out some recommendations to help narrow down your choices.
One of the reasons we still rate Netflix as one of the very best streaming services you can pick up is because it offers a huge content library. While that's obviously a big boon, it can sometimes make choosing your next watch a big choice.
If you're tempted to turn to the most popular shows on Netflix for a guide on what everyone's watching, we've already done the hard work and pulled out three of the very best things currently on offer.
As of 2.30 p.m. ET on Monday, August 19. the three shows in the Netflix Top 10 shows list we'd recommend you check out are the latest season of a Netflix rom-com, the final season of a Netflix science fiction show, and a network show that's continued to hold onto its spot in the Netflix Top 10 shows list.
If you don't like the sound of any of these short summaries, be sure to check out both our list of everything new on Netflix in August, the Netflix top 10 movies, and our complete guide to the best Netflix shows you can find on the service right now. Otherwise, read on to find out more about those three recommended shows.
'Emily in Paris'
Whether you regard it as a secret guilty pleasure or you just straight-up champion "Emily in Paris" as your favorite show, there's no denying that it's one of Netflix's big hits. The first batch of "Emily in Paris" season 4 episodes landed just a few days ago, and since then, the show's been right up near the top of the list.
The last time we saw her, Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) was rocked by all the fallout from Camille and Gabriel's almost wedding. Not only did the couple split up, but it was revealed that Camille was pregnant with his child. Going forward, that's sure to present some issues for Gabriel and Emily's romance, but she's going to be distracted by adventures out to the French Alps and a sojourn off to Italy, too. C'est magnifique!

'Fire Country'
CBS' "Fire Country" landed on Netflix in early August, but its continued to prove popular with Netflix viewers.
The series follows convict Bode Donovan (Max Thieriot), a man who's currently serving time for armed robbery. While he's unable to appeal his sentence, Bode's offered an alternative path: join the local prison release program, working alongside firefighters to combat wildfires.
He takes the offer, in the hopes of getting early release... but he didn't plan on being sent back to his hometown: Edgewater, California. There, he grapples with his past, forges new friendships, tackles blazes and all kinds of trouble, and, ultimately, seeks redemption.

'The Umbrella Academy'
"Umbrella Academy" season 4 is our final adventure with the Hargreeves siblings. The series arrived about a week ago, but fans of the sci-fi show have continued to keep the show in the top 10 ever since it debuted.
Based on the comic book series written by My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way, "The Umbrella Academy" revolves around a dysfunctional group of superpowered adoptive siblings who are turned into a superhero team by their super-rich adoptive father.
Over the years, the siblings have already put a stop to a number of apocalyptic events. De-powered, they split up at the end of the previous season, but here, they're forced to reunite one last time and put the newly-developed, alternative powers to use to thwart yet another calamity known as "The Cleanse."
