Netflix Top 10 Shows and Movies: New Releases and Trending Today, October 31

Happy Halloween! Netflix is celebrating the spookiest holiday with fright-filled Top 10 TV shows and movies lists on Oct. 31. The No. 1 movie is suspenseful drama The Good Nurse, which is based on a true story about a nurse who murdered his patients. It’s not a horror movie, but it’s plenty horrifying. On the TV list, the No. 1 show is From Scratch, Zoe Saldaña’s romantic drama limited series, which isn’t scary at all, to be honest. But there’s still plenty of Halloween-friendly stuff on the list, like horror anthology Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities at No. 2 and gory YA fantasy drama The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself at No. 9.

But as we all know, popular doesn’t necessarily mean good. Below, we list the top 10 movies and shows on Netflix and give our quick take on whether they’re actually worth watching or not. We’ve also added what’s new on Netflix today so you can find out what will be on the Top 10 list tomorrow.
