The #1 Show on Netflix Has Me SMDH

Need recommendations for what to stream? There's always PureWow's list of what to watch this weekend (curated by our entertainment editors). But for the Netflix-only crowd, the streaming service updates its lists of top movies and top shows, based on who's watching what, on a daily basis.

On Netflix's top ten shows list right now? We've got some super solid content. I'm talking an intense and brutal new show at number five, season two of The Recruit sitting at number four and the ever-popular The Night Agent at number three. There's an okay-looking doc about O.J. at number two, but the top piece of content at the moment? Oof, it has me confused. How is the top series on Netflix...Raw, the live wrestling show?!

Every Monday at 8pm ET, a new live episode of Raw hits Netflix, showing two-plus hours of inside-the-ring-action. Is this type of show for me? Clearly not. Is someone watching it? If it's the number one show, that means a whole lot of someones are watching it.

And while this wrestling show isn't my cup of tea, the same thing happened last week when a new episode dropped. So I suppose I have to resign myself to the fact that Raw will probably peak every Tuesday morning following the previous night's installment. Sigh.

However, I can at least feel heartened about the other content in the top ten...

Formerly at the number one spot, American Primeval now rests comfortably at number five. The brutal show is inspired by a real-life massacre that took place during the Utah War in 1857, where Native Americans, the Mormon militia and the federal government went head-to-head in a terrible battle. This particular series focuses on a mother-son duo as they embark on a journey that puts them right in the middle of the chaos.

Right above that is season two of The Recruit, starring Noah Centineo. The young star plays Owen Hendricks, who, in season one, was a naive 24-year-old lawyer who had just gotten a new job with the CIA. In true “new job fashion,” Hendricks was quickly thrown into the fire when a former CIA operative began making threats to expose the organization. Now he's back for a sophomore season in this action-packed series.
