Netflix top 10 shows — here’s the 3 you need to binge-watch this week (August 11-17)

This week, Netflix refreshed its top 10 shows based on viewers' weekend trends, often featuring new releases. The refreshed list is valuable for discovering new content missed earlier in the week. To help viewers navigate through the trending list and find worth-while shows, I've selected three shows currently in Netflix's top 10 that are truly worth watching this week.

Firstly, "My Life with the Walter Boys" is a romantic drama that has gained popularity due to its messy love triangle. Season 3, currently streaming, picks up after the events of season 2, where Jackie and Cole confess their feelings for each other, but Alex overhears them. As the family deals with the aftermath of the confession, Jackie focuses on building a community space while figuring out her place in life.

Meanwhile, Alex joins a new rodeo team, and Cole discovers a new opportunity as a race car driver. The show also introduces Jackie's childhood friend returning from New York, bringing her back to the life she left behind.

Next, "Best Medicine" is a comedy-drama inspired by the British hit "Doc Martin." The show originally aired on Fox and is set in a quirky coastal town on America's East Coast. Dr. Martin Best, portrayed by Josh Charles, is a brilliant surgeon who leaves his career in Boston to become the town's general practitioner. Martin's blunt personality and dislike for unnecessary conversation often put him at odds with those around him.

His assistant, Elaine Denton (Cree Cicchino), helps him navigate his practice while he deals with a growing fear of blood.

Lastly, "The Bombing of Pan Am 103" is a compelling British drama based on the true story of Britain's deadliest terrorist attack in 1988. The series follows the joint Scottish-American criminal investigation as detectives and FBI agents work to identify those responsible. The case evolves into an international legal battle, taking investigators across Scotland, America, and Malta as they follow new evidence and potential suspects.

The series, written by Jonathan Lee and Gillian Roger Park, delves into the investigation's impact on those connected to the case across multiple decades, highlighting the tragedy of Pan Am Flight 103 exploding over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 259 people aboard and 11 on the ground.
