Looking to skip the scrolling and dive right into streaming new on Netflix this week? If you turn to what’s trending on the streaming service, you might stumble onto another top watch, but you can’t always guarantee that what’s in Netflix’s top 10 shows list will necessarily be worth committing to.

Well, that’s what I’d usually say, at least, but right now, there’s a wealth of great shows in the streamer’s charts right now. That means the hardest part of putting together this week’s edition of our usual guide to Netflix’s most popular watches was actually choosing which ones not to include (I’ve taken out “The Night Agent” season 3 and “Bridgerton” season 4, but if you haven’t caught up yet, you should).

Netflix’s hit live-action manga/anime adaptation is back for even bigger and better adventures. Yes, after storming the streamer’s charts back in 2023, Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) and his Straw Hats are finally sailing the Going Merry “Into the Grand Line” in “One Piece” season 2. This second batch has earned a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, and fans have sent it straight back into the Netflix top 10.

Luffy, Nami (Emily Rudd), Zoro (Mackenyu), Usopp (Jacob Romero), and Sanji (Taz Skylar) have already faced villains like Buggy, Alvida, and Arlong, but this next leg sees them crossing into deadlier waters. The Grand Line is a legendary stretch of sea with danger at every turn, and as they sail through the realm on the hunt for Gold Roger’s ultimate treasure, they’ll meet new pals, dock at bizarre islands, and cross paths with a whole host of formidable foes.

Billed by Netflix as “an epic journey into a lost world” and boasting some major names — it’s executive produced by “Jurassic Park” director Steven Spielberg and narrated by none other than Morgan Freeman — “The Dinosaurs” is a must-watch documentary for dino lovers.

It’s the latest project from the award-winning “Our Planet” team and, across four episodes, charts the rise and fall of the dinosaurs across hundreds of millions of years. Evidently, plenty of Netflix’s subscriber base do love these prehistoric predators; the “Jurassic World” franchise currently occupies four of the ten spots in Netflix’s movie charts, and this four-part dino docuseries rocketed straight to the top spot following its release on March 6.

In her “Vladimir” review, TG’s Alix Blackburn pitched Netflix’s new dramedy as “a provocative, cheeky comedy-drama with electric chemistry and addictive 20-30 minute episodes,” and a series that’s both “packed with humor, sexual tension, and obsession” and “playful and compelling.” And if the new arrival’s fourth-place position in Netflix’s streaming charts is anything to go by, clearly, plenty of subscribers are hooked, too.

If you’re yet to dive in, “Vladimir” was adapted by Julia May Jonas from her own 2022 novel of the same name. In it, we follow “The Protagonist,” (Rachel Weisz), a middle-aged professor with a wayward husband and a messy daughter who becomes increasingly obsessed with Vladimir (Leo Woodall), a new young hire at her liberal arts college.
