Dahmer has been named Netflix's second most successful English-language show, less than a month after it landed on theᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ s🎐treaming platform – having racked up 701.37 million hours' worth of views. 

According to , only 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stranger Things – which was watched for 1.35 billi🍨on hours in its first month – has it beat, with the publication noting that the crime drama "garnered more watch-time than seasons 1 and 2 of Shonda Rhimes' Bridgerton in their first four weeks on th📖e service."

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 sees Evan Peters play t🐽he titular real-life serial killer. Richard Jenkins stars as Jeffrey's father Lionel, Molly Ringwald appears as his stepmother Shari, and N🎃iecy Nash brin൩gs his neighbor Glenda Cleveland to life.

Over the last few weeks, the series has proven controversial. Initially, many slammed Netflix for filin♋g it in the 'LGBTQ' category (which later led to the tag's removal), while some of the family members of the 17 individuals Dahmer murdered have also criticized the show for "making money off of this tragedy." Just the other day, Shirley Hughes, mother of victim Tony Hughes, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:spoke out against the fact that it uses real names and events, having not consult♍ed the relevant relatives𝄹 first.

Netflix subscribers seem to gravitate towards darker🏅 fare these days, which is arguably why Squid Game remains the service's most-watched show ever, netting 1.65 billion hours in its f🥀irst 28 days.
