The 10 biggest Netflix movies in the world this week
A dark new Netflix movie starring Jessica Chastain and based on the real-life story of a killer hospital employee who murdered patients is the streamer's #1 film in the world this week.
That film is The Good Nurse, and it's based on the 2013 book The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine, Madness, and Murder, published by journalist Charles Graeber. Chastain plays Amy Loughren, a single mother and a compassionate but overworked nurse on the night shift in a hospital ICU. She's eventually roped into an effort to bring to justice a fellow nurse named Charlie, played here with icy menace by Eddie Redmayne.
Charlie seems like a nice-enough guy at first -- friend material, even, and good at his job -- until it becomes clear that he's doing a particular thing that might make you never want to set foot in a hospital again: Using his nursing skills to purposely kill patients, in a way that's difficult to trace back to him. It's chilling stuff, but compelling enough as a drama that viewers made this title the #1 Netflix movie in the world for the latest 7-day tracking period that ended on October 30.
