Fallout S2 takes the top spot in December, and Ghost Stories for Christmas at two on Christmas Eve brings a horror-fantasy pull to the holiday window. Netflix holds five of the ten spots, with Pro Bono and Blood Coast S2 covering opposite ends from comedy-drama to crime-thriller. Drama ends up being the one genre connecting almost every show on the list.
