It\u2019s a new week, which means Netflix\u2019s <\/a>top 10 refreshes based on what everyone was gravitating towards over the weekend, and that usually means newer releases. This is what makes the trending list so useful, because if you missed something new dropping on the service, it\u2019s most likely to show up in the popular section. So, if you\u2019re looking for something to watch this week, the trending list is a great place to start.<\/p>\n

But just because there\u2019s a top 10 doesn\u2019t always make it easy to decide what to watch, especially since these rankings can often include a few duds. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve picked out three shows currently in Netflix\u2019s top 10 that are actually worth watching. This week, that includes the new season of a hit romantic drama, an intriguing comedy-drama that originally aired on Fox, and a British series based on a shocking true story. If you want to see what else is trending, you\u2019ll find the full Netflix top 10 below.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re in the era of seriously messy love triangles. That\u2019s not to say they\u2019ve never been prominent in TV before, because you could argue \u201cThe Vampire Diaries\u201d really kicked things off, but the past couple of years have been packed with messy romantic drama. \u201cMy Life with the Walter Boys\u201d is certainly one of them, with the ending of season 2 only fueling its central love triangle. Now that season 3 is streaming, things have somehow gotten even messier (and more frustrating). But hey, if you\u2019re looking for a series where you can pick a side, \u201cMy Life with the Walter Boys\u201d is perfect.<\/p>\n

Season 3 picks up after Jackie (Nikki Rodriguez) and Cole (Noah LaLonde) confess their feelings for each other, only for Alex (Ashby Gentry) to overhear them before George is rushed to hospital. As the Walter family deals with the aftermath, Jackie focuses on developing a community space in Silver Falls while trying to work out where she belongs. Alex joins a new rodeo team, while Cole discovers a new opportunity behind the wheel after a race car driver spots his potential. Jackie\u2019s childhood friend also arrives from New York, bringing a connection to the life she left behind.<\/p>\n
