You can tell a lot about us by what we binge. And this week, the Top 10 in Netflix US reads like a psychological profile. There is space for everyone: from a true crime junkie, emotionally exhausted romantic, and sports drama addict to a parent who has Ms Rachel on loop.

At the top is Untamed, a limited series that feels like if Virgin River and Bloodline had a morally messy baby. Small-town secrets, family drama, moody forests. It is the kind of show that tells you “maybe don’t trust your neighbour”, and we are clearly here for it. Not just in the US, but this show is also topping the charts on Netflix globally.

Right behind is Amy Bradley Is Missing, the new docuseries digging into a decades-old disappearance aboard a cruise ship. It is part mystery, part emotional gut-punch, and completely impossible to pause once you start. Nothing like an unresolved true crime to keep America awake at 3 AM.

In a surprise move, Sullivan’s Crossing not only made the chart but also claimed two spots. Both Season 1 and Season 2 are trending, proving that people are still very into shows where everyone is secretly related, emotionally unavailable, or dramatically storming out of dinner. It is peak comfort chaos, and Netflix viewers are eating it up.

Raw, the July 14th release, is holding strong in the middle of the chart. It is loud, unpredictable, and seems to thrive on shock value. It is the perfect show if you like your entertainment with a side of “wait, did that really just happen?” Meanwhile, Squid Game Season 3 refuses to budge, still dominating weeks after release. Because apparently, we cannot get enough of pastel-coloured horror competitions that double as social commentary.

Of course, Ms Rachel remains the unshakeable force in this lineup. She is back again at No. 7, silently holding together thousands of sleep-deprived households across America. No one is surprised.

Sports drama Quarterback Season 2 makes a touchdown at No. 8, clearly riding high on that post-football hunger. There is something satisfying about watching real athletes be vulnerable while throwing things very far. And The Waterfront, a moody new drama about politics, secrets, and stylish coats, is right behind it. A sleek, slow-burn, and totally bingeable show.

Reality fans are also getting their fix this week with Building The Band. It has got clashing personalities, vulnerable backstories, and just enough talent to keep you from skipping ahead. It proves yet again that we love watching people chase their dreams… especially when there is a dramatic walk-off involved.

What stands out this week is the dominance of limited and short-run series. They are quick to binge, emotionally satisfying, and do not come with the pressure of committing to five seasons. Netflix seems to have cracked the code. Give us tight storytelling, high drama, and an ending we do not have to wait years for. Everyone wins.
