Netflix’s Top 10 Movies & TV Shows This Week

 Netflix has a glut of new content released this month from its own production studios, but what are Netflix’s top 10 movies & TV shows this week?

One left-field newcomer has completely dominated Netflix's top ten movies list for the week of Jan 10th - Jan 16th. The "Netflix Top 10" website ranks all available features on its platform based on viewership, with the top ten pieces of content updated weekly to reflect continued viewing trends. The top ten site, which first launched on Tuesday 9th November 2021, also contains the aforementioned ranked viewership data dating back to June 28th, 2021, when the feature was first introduced to the Netflix smart TV interface.

The Netflix Top 10 streaming list includes original content from the company's production studios and all licensed movies and TV shows available on the platform. During a heavily publicized earnings in October 2021, Netflix has since revealed that it will now consider the total number of hours viewed instead of the previously used two-minute viewing metric to determine its Top 10 ranking. The Netflix Top 10 can also be filtered by country and/or language to provide differing regional and cultural results.

The Netflix Top 10 has seen a continually stellar performer this week in the form of Don't Look Up, while the platform's own Red Notice continues to dominate in multiple territories in an unprecedented resurgence for the tenth week running. Yet the biggest shock of this week arrives in the form of the crime thriller Brazen, which amassed huge viewing numbers despite a lukewarm critical reception.
