The story of American serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer continued to captivate Netflix viewers around the world.

The series is based on the story of Dahmer who killed 17 men and boys from 1978 to 1991 and was sentenced to 16 life terms. He was killed by a fellow inmate in November 1994 at the Columbia Correctional Institution in Wisconsin in the US.

“In only its second week, ‘DAHMER - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story’ has become one of Netflix’s most successful series of all time,” according to Netflix.

In just 12 days, the series entered Netflix’s most popular English TV list at ninth place with 496.05 million hours viewed.
