Netflix debuted a brand new feature this past week that users are already starting to love: The Top 10. The streaming service now keeps a running tab of the top 10 most-watched titles in its lineup and keeps them together in a list on the homepage. All of the titles on the list also get earmarked with a “Top 10” designation whenever they pop up somewhere else on the site.

This is a great way to keep track of what’s popular on Netflix, as well as just how well-liked new originals are when they debut on the service. For example, Pokemon: Mewtwo Strikes Back – Evolution just arrived on Netflix over the last two days and it’s already one of the most-watched titles on the entire service.

The newly-updated Top 10 list shows the new Pokemon film, which is a Netflix original in North America, as the sixth most-watched movie or TV show at the moment. The finale of Love Is Blind, the popular reality TV series, is currently sitting at the top spot on the list.

Of all 10 movies on the Netflix Top 10, the only one that isn’t original to the service is The Angry Birds Movie 2. You can check out the full list below!

#1 – Love Is Blind

In the Netflix series LOVE IS BLIND, singles who want to be loved for who they are, rather than what they look like, have signed up for a less conventional approach to modern dating where they hope to meet the person they want to spend the rest of their lives with…without ever having seen them. With no distractions from the outside world, the singles talk to a stream of potential love interests and when a meaningful connection is made, they propose and then lay their eyes on their fiancรฉ for the first time. Engaged and back in the real world, as the couples plan their wedding day, they will quickly discover whether they can turn their emotional connection into a physical one before the fast-approaching ceremony. Hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, this addictive 10-part series will uncover whether looks or age do matter, or if love really is blind.

#2 – The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez

In 2013, 8-year-old Gabriel Fernandez died as a result of horrific and prolonged abuse by his mother and her boyfriend.

As friction between the different “plazas” of his cartel rises, Feฬโ€‹ โ€‹lix’s control over the situation slips. Meanwhile, the death of DEA agent Kiki Camarena at the hands of the cartel and corrupt politicians brings a hailstorm of retribution to Mexico. “Operation Leyenda” led by the dogged DEA agent Walt Breslin, whose methods aren’t always by-the-book, targets Feฬโ€‹โ€‹lix Gallardo and his chief lieutenants, adding to the instability and volatility of the cartel.

#8 – Locke & Key

After their father is murdered under mysterious circumstances, the three Locke siblings and their mother move into their ancestral home, Keyhouse, which they discover is full of magical keys that may be connected to their father’s death.

#10 – The Last Thing He Wanted

Adapted from the Joan Didion novel of the same title, THE LAST THING HE WANTED is set against the nebulous milieu of the Iran-Contra scandal. Veteran D.C. journalist Elena McMahon (Academy Awardยฎ winner Anne Hathaway) abandons the 1984 campaign trail out of a misguided sense of duty to her father, Dick McMahon (Oscarยฎ nominee Willem Dafoe). Guilted into running a dangerous fool’s errand on his behalf, Elena leverages the moment to pursue her own investigation but instead gets tipped into the confounding center of the very intrigue she’s trying to expose. Answers turn into questions and wrong turns lead to dead ends in this stylish political thriller as Elena becomes increasingly lost on a map of someone else’s making and the possibility of return โ€” to home and to herself โ€” slowly narrows.
