The presence of the series Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story is not something people can ignore anymore. But that does not give testimony to the success the Netflix series managed to acquire. 

Netflix released a series of metrics for October which showed that the series has become one of the streamer’s most successful original series of all time in a very short time frame. 

Starring Evan Peters, the show has been streamed for over 496 million hours, becoming the ninth most popular Netflix show just after 12 days on the service. 

Debuting on September 21st, it also became the second most watched English language seres in a week, one step behind giant Stranger Things season 4. 

Despite the popularity, the show does have its critics and some come from a place of genuine pain given their relation to Dahmer’s real-life victims. Rita Isbell, whose 19-year-old brother Errol Lindsey was murdered in 1991, called out Netflix for not informing her about the production or release of the series.

Following the bombardment of Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, EU President Roberta Metsola came out against the Russian bombing of the city, which also saw civilians being killed and injured in the attack. 

‘What is happening now in Kyiv is sickening’ said Metsola. ‘It shows the world, again, the regime we are faced with: One that targets indiscriminately. One that rains terror and death down on children.’

‘This is criminal’ she said. ‘They will be held to account. Ukraine will win. Europe will not look away.’ 

The capital city had not been bombed since the 26th of June as the war was pushed further into the bordering localities of Ukraine. However, Putin’s Russia blamed Ukraine for the recent explosions which took place on a bridge connecting Russia with annexed Crimea. 

The bombardment of Kyiv follows this bridge bombing, which Ukraine has not taken responsibility for. However, Putin still labelled Ukraine as engaging in terrorist acts.

Following the deadly blast on the bridge linking Crimea to Russia and the latter’s blaming of Ukraine, capital Kyiv underwent a reinvigorated bombardment by Moscow’s forces on Monday morning. 

The Ukraine presidency reported 75 missiles being fired by Russia, with the governor of Ukraine’s western region of Lviv saying the bombing targeted energy facilities and citizen areas. 

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that this morning is particularly difficult as Ukraine deals with terrorists, in reference to Putin’s Russia. The second target, Zelenskyy said, is the people. 

The explosions were reported at around 0815hrs, with the last bombing of Kyiv having taken place on June 26th. The Crimea bridge explosion had left three dead, with Russia blaming Ukraine for the attack. 

Russian President Vladimir Putin described the attack on the bridge as a terrorist act and said that the authors, perpetrators and sponsors are the Ukrainian secret services. 

Meanwhile, a missile strike on Sunday in Zaporizhzhia, a southern Ukrainian city, killed at least 13 people and wounded 89 people, including 11 children. Zelenskyy denounced the attack as the work of absolute evil and savages.
