TVThe brand new Netflix series ‘Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story’ has not missed its start. In its first week, the series has already been viewed 196.2 million times, which is a record. This is reported by IndieWire, among others.
Last Wednesday, ‘Dahmer’ – a fictional series about serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer – launched on Netflix. In its first week, the series was viewed more than 196.2 million hours. This puts ‘Dahmer’, written by Ryan Murphy, firmly at the top of the watch lists. The second most-watched series of last week, the second season of ‘Fate: The Winx Saga’, has to make do with ‘only’ 60.97 million viewing hours.
Thanks to those good numbers, ‘Dahmer’ has the best series debut ever on Netflix. No brand new series reached such numbers in its first week. Although that does not mean that ‘Dahmer’ is also the most watched series in general. Since the start of the measurements in June 2021, there have already been ten series that have scored better weekly figures than ‘Dahmer’. Only then it concerned either subsequent seasons of a series, or figures that were not recorded in the first week. For example, the first season of ‘Squid Game’ was viewed no less than 571.76 million, but only in its third week.
‘Dahmer’ tells the story of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. The man, also known as the “Milwaukee Cannibal,” murdered as many as 17 boys and men between 1978 and 1991. His youngest victim was barely 14 years old.
