The TV Answer Man – Buy Me a Coffee!
Netflix posts a daily Top 10 list of the TV series that are most popular with its subscribers on that day. Let’s take a look at today’s (January 7, 2026) top shows and see how many you have watched.
10. Land of Sin (Season One)
What Kind of Show: Intense Drama
Who’s In It: Krista Kosonen, Mohammed Nour Oklah
The five-episode Swedish-made series stars Krista Kosonen as a detective investigating the murder of a teen in a rural community. The show, which debuted on Netflix on January 2, 2026, is akin to U.S. murder mysteries such as The Killing.
9. Members Only: Palm Beach (Season One)
What Kind of Show: Reality
Who’s In It: 5 Women You’ve Never Heard Of
Netflix, which has enjoyed success with its Love Is Blind dating reality series, is getting really real with a show about five women who live to increase their status in tony Palm Beach, Florida. “You definitely need tough skin to make it in this town. I stop at nothing to get what I want, and I never take no for an answer,” one of the fab five told Netflix’s Tudum. The women seek out exclusive memberships, access to the best fashion designers in town, and beauty treatments that Hollywood stars would envy. If you are fan of the Real Housewives series, this is one is for you. If you’re not a fan, Members Only might still be worth watching as an expose of the unlimited capacity of human vanity.
8. Mark Rober’s Crunch Labs
What Kind of Show: Documentary
Who’s In It: Mark Rober
Mark Rober, the inventor, YouTube star and former NASA engineer, provides scientific solutions to thorny problems with a twist of zany humor. Great for kids, and adults who are still kids at heart.
7. The Beast In Me (Season One)
What Kind of Show: Drama/Thriller
Who’s In It: Matthew Rhys, Claire Danes
Claire Danes stars as a famous author who abandons the limelight after the death of her son. But her big-book instincts return when she discover her neighbor (Matthew Rhys from The Americans) is a real estate tycoon who was the prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance. Her search for his truth turns into a cat-and-mouse game with possibly deadly consequences. (I watched the first three episodes and found it uneven and, occasionally, ludicrous, despite strong performances from the leads. Might go back to it; might not.)
6. Dave Chappelle: The Unstoppable
What Kind of Show: Stand Up Comedy
Who’s In It: Dave Chappelle
The fearless and sometimes polarizing comedian offers a candid (and comedic) perspective on today’s culture wars. Buckle up; you will be offended albeit probably while laughing.
5. Emily In Paris (Seasons 1-5)
What Kind of Show: Comedy
Who’s In It: Lily Collins
Lily Collins stars as Emily Cooper, the American ingenue who moves to Paris to teach a Parisian marketing firm a few things about American ingenuity. Or so she thinks. Along the way, she encounters irresistible Parisian men, confounding language barriers and other obstacles that only Emily could find. The Netflix original comedy is a feel-good delight with Collins a revelation in the title role; her performance is a throwback to those classic comedic single-woman turns from the 1960s/70s (Mary Tyler Moore in The Mary Tyler Moore Show; Marlo Thomas in That Girl, etc.).
4. Found (Seasons one and two)
What Kind of Show: Drama
Who’s In It: Shanola Hampton, Kelli Williams
Shanola Hampton stars in this two-season NBC drama as Gabi, a former kidnapping victim who starts an agency to search for missing people in police cold cases. The twist here is that Gabi kidnaps her kidnapper (Mark-Paul Gosselaar from Saved By the Bell) and hides him in her basement so she can learn the secrets of why people abduct others. Rotten Tomatoes gives this show a 70, praising Hampton and saying the show is “slick enough to get lost in.” Found was cancelled after two seasons so you can watch the entire show now on Netflix.
3. Monday Night RAW (Seasons 1-2)
What Kind of Show: Athletic Entertainment
Who’s In It: WWE wrestlers, special guests
Netflix is now in its second year of streaming WWE Monday Night RAW which has featured such wrasslin’ warriors as John Cena, Cody Rhodes, CM Punk and Roman Reigns as well as YouTuber Logan Paul (brother to Jake). The show is live but its number three ranking suggests many viewers like to watch it and rewatch it.
2. Stranger Things (Seasons one to five)
What Kind of Show: Supernatural Drama
Who’s In It: Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown
If you’re not familiar with Stranger Things by now, the show, which stars Winona Ryder, David Harbour and Millie Bobby Brown, follows a mysterious young girl (Brown) who opens a pathway between Earth and a hostile (very hostile) alternate dimension called the Upside Down. A band of teenagers assist the clueless adults in restoring order in our world. (Season five, the series finale, ended on December 31, 2025.)
1. Harlan Coben’s Run Away (One season)
What Kind of Show: Mystery/Drama
Who’s In It: James Nesbitt, Ruth Jones
The eight-episode British-made TV series, based on a Harlan Coben novel, stars James Nesbitt as a Dad who searches for his runaway daughter. Rotten Tomatoes gives the show a 78 score; I haven’t seen it yet but since it replaced the cult sensation, Stranger Things, on the top spot, it must be good.
