Netflix bomb, global users warned: It’s never happened before
A great success for the television series on Netflix, a message sent to all users and subscribers to the universe of this brand new fiction
Netflix, the global online streaming giant, is having a special year. The data and figures for 2022 are less bright than in previous years, in particular due to the decline in new and old subscribers.
To the rescue of Netflix, however, came the perhaps unexpected success of a new television series that is depopulating. Not just in the United States, where the story that deals with this fiction is well known, but all over the world.
We are talking about Dahmer, that is, the series based on the tragic and real events related to Jeffrey Dahmer. The serial killer also known as “The Milwaukee Monster” who killed 17 people between the 70s and 90s, using cruel and ferocious methods.
Crazy numbers for Dahmer: the Netflix TV series is the most watched in the world
The resounding success of Dahmer has crazy numbers. To date, this Netflix-branded product currently ranks among the most-watched and most-watched television series in the world.
These are 299,840,000 hours of views reported by Netflix in the now usual weekly ranking announced by the platform. Dahmer, despite the bloody and dark themes of the events, captivates a large number of viewers around the world, probably drawn to the private story of a mad, maniacal and violent individual, but at the same time fascinating and worth studying. 
In view of the figures, it is likely that Dahmer could obtain the successes of other now mythological TV series launched by Netflix, such as The Paper House, Squid Game or Stranger Things. In the coming weeks, if this trend continues at high levels, American killer fiction will indeed enter the elite of Netflix products.
Dahmer is a television series created by American authors Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, who decided to retrace the whole story of Jeffrey Dahmer, from childhood, family dramas and the first violent outbursts. To play the “cannibal” of Milwaukee is actor Evan Peters, already seen in films such as X-Men and Deadpool 2.
