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.
