Ryan Murphy’s Dahmer Passes Bridgerton Season 2 to Rank as Netflix’s No. 2 English-Language Series Ever
Lady Whistledown sure is going to be talking about this.
Ryan Murphy’s Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story now stands as Netflix‘s second-most popular English-language series of all time, passing Bridgerton Season 2 in just its third week of eligibility.
For the third week in a row, Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story topped Netflix’s global Top 10 English TV List, by accumulating another 205.33 million hours viewed across its 10-episode run.
The limited series thus has tallied 701.37 million hours viewed to date, passing Bridgerton Season 2 — which had 656.26 million hours viewed in its first 28 days — to rank No. 2 among English-language Netflix series.
With one more week of eligibility left, Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story only (albeit distantly) trails Stranger Things 4 (which amassed 1.35 billion hours viewed over its first four weeks) on Netflix’s ranking of English-language series.
The Korean thriller Squid Game, of course, holds the overall Netflix record, having delivered 1.65 billion hours viewed in its first 28 days of release. On that more-encompassing Netflix ranking, Dahmer currently places No. 4 behind Squid Game, Stranger Things 4 and the Spanish caper drama Money Heist Part 5 (which totaled 792 million hours viewed).
Dahmer was first set in motion back in October 2020, and Evan Peters landed the title role in March 2021, but Netflix didn’t announce its release date until this Sept. 17 — less than a week prior.
With barely any promotion, a release date announced only a couple days before debuting, and a Wednesday drop — so one might wonder how that happened
Loved the series. Thought it was fasinacating. I think Netflix and Ryan Murphy have a golden opportunity to create a new anthology series here. They could do a season every year focusing on a different serial killer.
Sick!!
Ugh, why you bad, America?
Disgusting.
Not my cup of tea😫Netflix is showcasing
too many ‘graphic, violent topics’. I remember the Dahmer years .. not a
pleasant topic to revisit. Making me reconsider my Netflix subscription.
What is wrong with you it`s only serie? You prefer to watch brainle(ss) hallmark movies then? They ain`t making you any wiser.
Shows how sick this country and its’ people are.
You too have a look in the mirror!
Netflix must be cheering after Ryan’s last productions underperformed and they had him under that multimillion dollar contract.
So, Netflix…you deep six Marvel and super hero and some sci to and fantasy for disturbing stories appealing to viewers’ dark or even sadistic side. This crosses the line big time. A documentary maybe but a limited series? Only thing good is that it gave some Black actors supporting cast roles.
What are you babbling about? They lost the Marvel shows because Disney+ wanted them.
It was meant to show the story from the victims, the families and the neighbors side. It also showed how racism allowed these horrible things to go on as long as they did and how many lives could have been saved if it wasn’t for pure ignorance.
Every day I see more and more that Netflix is not the platform for me… because there’s no reason the top shows on there are about a sick serial killer and s*x offender. But to each it’s own I guess? Nah you guys are weird.
