top10 analysis ·
Top Gun: Maverick is the one the numbers agree with. Knock at the Cabin is not.
Netflix publishes what America watched. It does not publish whether any of it was good. Here is their Top 10 for the week ending September 27, 2026, with our independent score beside each title.
| # | Title | Weeks in Top 10 | Our score | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | UNABOMBER | 1 | 70.1 | Worth it |
| 2 | The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare | 2 | 69.3 | Worth it |
| 3 | Top Gun: Maverick | 1 | 80.9 | Excellent |
| 4 | Best of the Best | 2 | 67 | Worth it |
| 5 | The Breadwinner | 1 | 68.3 | Worth it |
| 6 | Why Did I Get Married Again? | 3 | n/a | Not scored yet |
| 7 | The Seemingly Perfect Family | 2 | n/a | Not scored yet |
| 8 | Puss in Boots: The Last Wish | 6 | 80.6 | Excellent |
| 9 | Knock at the Cabin | 1 | 63.4 | Mixed |
| 10 | The Matchmaker's Playbook | 1 | n/a | Not scored yet |
The widest gap this week is between Top Gun: Maverick, which the ratings back up, and Knock at the Cabin, which they do not. Both are in the same ten. Popularity and quality are measuring different things, and this is the week's clearest example.

Scored, not vibes. Refreshed October 2026.
We scored every title Netflix added in the last seven days. 12 of them clear our "worth your evening" line.
High scores, low traffic. These rate well with critics and audiences and still never surface on the home row.
