Ever since their streaming debuts on the OTT platforms HBO Max/Disney+ Hotstar and Amazon Prime Video, the two massively mounted shows ‘House of the Dragon’ and ‘Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ have consistently impressed in various streaming top ten lists across the globe, including the coveted Nielsen’s overall top ten streaming titles.
However, as per the latest Nielsen’s weekly top ten streaming chart, a Netflix series has beaten both these premium titles. And that show is the Jeffrey Dahmer based ten-part crime drama series ‘Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story’, which started streaming on Netflix from 21st September.
As per the Nielsen’s weekly overall top ten streaming chart (for September 19-25 week), ‘Dahmer’ has garnered around a whopping 3.7 billion minutes. While ‘Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ and ‘House of the Dragon’ have clocked 977 million minutes and 1 billion minutes, respectively.
Interestingly, on the latest Nielsen top ten list, this time, HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel ‘House of the Dragon’ has outdone Prime Video’s recently concluded series ‘The Rings of Power’.
The second-best title on Nielsen’s overall top ten streaming list has been bagged by Netflix’s popular martial arts drama series ‘Cobra Kai’ with 1.1 billion minutes. Other titles on the Nielsen top ten list include ‘Cocomelon’ series (817 million minutes), ‘Father Stu’ movie (717 million minutes), ‘Lou’ (681 million minutes) movie, and ‘Fate: The Winx Saga’ series (675 million minutes).
Coming back to ‘Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story’, the crime drama series revolves around the notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer aka Milwaukee Monster (played by Evan Peters) and is narrated from the perspective of the killers’ victims. The show focuses on the incompetence and leniency by the authorities and how Dahmer got away on multiple occasions.
