If there's something Netflix viewers love, it's a cheesy, teen rom-com. The streaming platform recently delivered a second installment in the The Kissing Booth series, and also revealed that a third film has already been filmed in secret.

While the original film fell from the Netflix Top 10 after holding a place in the lineup this week, the second film still resides near the top.

Some Twitter users praised the film, while others bashed it, calling it cringeworthy. Whether it's up your alley or not, Netflix has a ton of new options for your streaming pleasures this week. Here's what viewers in America are watching right now:

“You can’t really hold on to someone. ‘Cause the tighter you hold onto them, the more they want to slip away. All you can do is love them and make sure they know that you’re never gonna slip away.”

If you haven't seen the first film, you're going to want to dive into that first. The Kissing Booth 2, though, picks up with Elle and Noah starting school. Except this time, things look much different. Noah begins college and Elle is stuck in high school. Will their relationship last?
