From Netflix’s US Top 10, critics pick 3 binge‑worthy shows for this week

A U.S. tech and entertainment site has taken Netflix’s own Top 10 list for the week of September 29–October 5 and turned it into a more curated “what to binge now” guide. Drawing on viewing‑hours data that Netflix publishes for the U.S. market, the editors picked three standout series—from crime dramas to mystery‑driven originals—that they believe are the most rewarding for subscribers who want to settle in for a few solid evenings of streaming. All three shows are described as highly bingeable, the kind of series where you instinctively let the next episode auto‑play.

What makes the guide especially useful is its focus on entry points. For each pick, the article explains whether newcomers can safely jump in at the latest season, or if it’s better to start from episode one, and notes when a first season tells a fairly self‑contained story. While many of the titles in the U.S. Top 10 are also available on Netflix Japan, regional licensing and localization schedules can create gaps. Japanese viewers who see a show recommended in overseas coverage should search the title directly in their Netflix app to confirm availability, and check whether Japanese audio or subtitles have already been added.
