Netflix subscribers have a𒊎 new favorite show, and it's overtaken the hugely popular to nab the top spot on the platform's streaming chart in the US. It's also number one in the UK, though it beat out Fate: The Winx Saga there.
Created by American Horror Story's Ryan Murphy and his frequent collaborator Ian Brennan, Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story dropped on September 21 – and the fact that it's now dominating the chart just two days in is impressive. It sees Evan Peters🎐 play the titular 💟real-life serial killer, while Richard Jenkins stars as Jeffrey's father Lionel, Molly Ringwald appears as his stepmother Shari, and Niecy Nash brings his🌌 neighbour ♊Glenda Cleveland to life.
The show is so new that it's yet to nail down a Rotten Tomatoes' critics score, but vieweཧrs have been pretty vocal about what they think of the show on social media. While some are calling it "incredible" and calling for award recognition for Peters, others have criticized it for taking a too sympathetic look at Dahmer. Similar statements were made about Zac Efron's Ted Bundy flick Extremely Wicked, Sh♔ockingly Evil and Vile and Netflix's documentary series Conversations with a Killer.
“And not only is Dahmer the #1 show in the U.S. — but it’s #1 in the entire world. Thank you so much and keep watching!” 📺 @netflix pic.twitter.com/ebvEVvUPV3
"I really don't want to watch anything else about serial killers but I ཧappreciate the Dahmer series seems to be showcasing the BLACK and BROWN victims and famili൲es. Because race was def a huge part of why Dahmer was able to be as sloppy as he was and still have so many victims," .
Other shows in the💟 top 10 in both countries include , following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, and true crime outing Sins of Our Mother.
