The historic success of ‘Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story’ had to start running out of steam at some point. The funny thing is that it had to be another series created by Ryan Murphy the one that has managed to dethrone her, well ‘Vigilante’ has managed to get number 1 from Netflix by debuting with one of the platform’s best premieres of the year.
The series starring Naomi Watts has added 125.01 million hours watched in the week of October 10 to 16. It is true that this represents a victory by the minimum with respect to ‘Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer story’, which was left with 122.78 million hours in that period, but it should be remembered that the premiere of ‘Vigilante’ took place on the 13 October…
In this way, the premiere of ‘Vigilante’ becomes the fourth best of a Netflix series so far in 2022falling behind only ‘Stranger Things 4’ (286.79 million), ‘Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story’ (196.2 million) and season 2 of ‘The Bridgertons’ (193.02 million).
Now we have to see how this affects the relationship between Netflix and MurphyWell, for years it was a pretty disastrous deal for the platform, since series like ‘The Politician’, ‘Ratched’, ‘Hollywood’ or ‘Halston’ did not achieve the expected success. That has changed unexpectedly and the multi-million dollar contract that binds them is supposed to come to an end next year…
