Netflix’s “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” may have been the most surprisingly successful new series premiere of the third quarter. It ranked as the series with the second-highest demand in its first month — 42.0 times the average series demand, according to Parrot Analytics‘ data, which takes into account consumer research, streaming, downloads and social media, among other engagement.
Dramatized true crime has been having a moment this year and this show definitely fits into that trending category. “Monster” had significantly higher demand than other Netflix series from Ryan Murphy and may be the show that finally makes Netflix’s mega-deal with Murphy pay off.
