With Netflix reeling from a slew of bad headlines, stemming from its upcoming password-sharing crackdown and a feeling that the streamer has lost a step over the last year or two when it comes to quality, what\u2019s this I see? Open the Netflix app, and there in the #1 spot on the Top 10 list of Netflix shows in the US today \u2014 Selling Sunset<\/em>. A reality show<\/a> about gorgeous real estate agents in Los Angeles that combines drama and luxe real estate into something Netflix calls a \u201cdocusoap.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show rocketed to #1 on Netflix because Season 5 was just released on the streamer on Friday. That\u2019s right. Netflix has been canceling people\u2019s favorite shows right and left, with those often not making it past season two or three. But low-brow \u201cdocusoaps\u201d and reality shows about cake have no trouble at all blowing up on the service. Go figure.<\/p>\n

Selling Sunset<\/em> Season 5<\/h2>\n

\u201cSelling Sunset<\/em>, a Netflix reality series set in the world of LA\u2019s high-end real estate, follows seven of the city\u2019s most successful female realtors who all work under the same roof at the #1 agency in the Hollywood Hills and the Sunset Strip,\u201d reads Netflix\u2019s official synopsis of the 10-episode new season.<\/p>\n

Al 11th episode, a reunion special, is coming on May 6.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey work hard and play harder, as they compete with the cutthroat LA market and each other. These ladies will do what it takes to make it to the top of their game, all while trying to keep their personal lives intact. This season, the ladies deal with even more mind-blowing mansions, shocking new romances, and explosive truths that will change their lives, relationships and careers forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Could this be part of the reason why Netflix earlier this week reported its first quarterly subscriber loss in more than a decade? And why the streamer said it expects to lose another 2 million subscribers next quarter?<\/p>\n

Top Netflix reality series<\/h2>\n

That\u2019s one argument you could make. The more time passes, and the longer I have a Netflix subscription? The less I feel like I come across truly unforgettable, must-watch titles on Netflix. I know that they\u2019re there, but you\u2019ve got to wade through about seven layers of crap to find them.<\/p>\n

Ozark<\/em>, for example. Its final episodes are coming in less than a week. And it\u2019s an example of one of the best Netflix shows of all time.<\/p>\n

But if you look at the rest of the Top 10 list of TV shows in the US on Netflix right now, meanwhile, there are actually two more reality series that are dominating the streamer at the moment.<\/p>\n

They include The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On<\/em>, from the creators of Netflix\u2019s Love is Blind<\/em>. Plus another \u201cdocusoap,\u201d as Netflix calls them: Married at First Sight<\/em>. Hard pass. If you need me, I\u2019ll be over here catching up on Apple\u2019s masterful new series, Pachinko<\/em>.<\/p>\n
