Netflix\u2019s <\/a>top 10 is packed with shows right now, but not everything making the list deserves a spot on your watchlist. If you\u2019re staring at the rankings wondering what\u2019s actually worth your time this week, I\u2019ve picked out three shows that I think are particularly binge-worthy.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a sweeping family drama spanning generations, a murder mystery set in a seemingly quiet Canadian town, and the fantasy adventure \u201cPercy Jackson\u201d that follows a teenager who discovers that the strange things happening around him may be connected to something far bigger. Whether you\u2019re in the mood for an emotional drama, a twisty crime mystery or a fun fantasy adventure, these are the three Netflix top 10 shows I\u2019d put at the top of your list this week.<\/p>\n

Netflix\u2019s latest No. 1 show is \u201cEast of Eden,\u201d a seven-part period drama created and written by Zoe Kazan. The series is based on John Steinbeck\u2019s classic 1952 novel, and there\u2019s a fascinating family connection behind this adaptation. Kazan\u2019s grandfather, legendary director Elia Kazan, directed the famous 1955 movie starring James Dean. That film only covered the final part of Steinbeck\u2019s story, while the new series has much more room to explore the novel in full and give its characters more time to develop. And, of course, Florence Pugh is a huge standout.<\/p>\n

Set in California in the early 1900s, \u201cEast of Eden\u201d follows Cathy Ames (Florence Pugh), a fiercely independent woman whose life becomes intertwined with the Trask family. After crossing paths with brothers Adam (Christopher Abbott) and Charles Trask (Mike Faist), Cathy becomes caught up in their complicated relationship and eventually builds a life with Adam. As the years pass, the story follows the Trask family across two generations, from Adam and Charles to Adam\u2019s sons, Cal and Aron. Along the way, Cathy\u2019s decisions have lasting consequences for the family.<\/p>\n

If you enjoy a good mystery and prefer shows that slowly reveal more with each episode, \u201cMurder in a Small Town\u201d is worth adding to your watchlist this week. This cozy crime drama is based on L.R. Wright\u2019s Edgar Award-winning Karl Alberg mystery novels and has a much more relaxed feel than some of the darker crime shows out there. It\u2019s not particularly graphic or violent, so you can easily settle in with a warm drink and enjoy the mystery without having to sit through anything too gruesome. Even better, Netflix has both seasons available, giving you 18 episodes to binge right now.<\/p>\n

Disney and Netflix recently struck a major licensing deal that has brought a selection of popular Disney+ titles to Netflix for a limited time, including \u201cPercy Jackson and the Olympians.\u201d The timing couldn\u2019t be better, with season 3 set to arrive in November. Based on Rick Riordan\u2019s hugely popular book series, the fantasy adventure follows a teenager who discovers that the Greek gods and monsters from mythology are very real. It\u2019s also a much more faithful adaptation of the books than the earlier movies, making the series a great choice for fans who were disappointed by those films.<\/p>\n

What to read next<\/p>\n

\u201cPercy Jackson and the Olympians\u201d centers around 12-year-old Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell), a boy who discovers that he is a demigod after being accused of stealing Zeus\u2019 powerful master bolt. With his friends Annabeth Chase (Leah Sava Jeffries) and Grover Underwood (Aryan Simhadri) by his side, Percy leaves Camp Half-Blood and sets out across the United States to find the missing weapon before the gods go to war. Along the way, the trio encounters monsters, gods and dangerous obstacles as they race against time to complete their quest.<\/p>\n
