Following an exciting weekend that saw longtime champions of the Netflix Top 10 usurped from the Number One spots, we start off the week with the news of some fresh blood on both lists. Coincidentally, both the great movies on Netflix now trending and the most popular and best TV shows on Netflix have new titles that focus on the subject of carnivorous creatures — one being an update of a classic horror story and the other a nature docuseries. Let’s talk about them and what else has qualified as the most-watched on Netflix for Monday, October 17, 2022, in today’s daily breakdown.
