Based on the buzz it has generated via social media and the fact the Top 10 charts are now up to 5%, however. Dahmer has already rocketed to the top spot on Netflix in the US, it’s all but certain to be a significant number.
Netflix seems to have made some important changes to the show since its debut last Friday.

After the backlash, the tag has been removed. On a related note, I’m not even sure why a series that centers a serial killer who perpetrated one of the most horrifying and sickening murder sprees in US history needed to be made in the first place. But that’s a subject for another post.
“I feel like Netflix should’ve asked if we mind or how we felt about making (the show),”Rita Isbell was Rita Lindsey’s sister. Insider. “They didn’t ask me anything. They just did it. But I’m not money hungry, and that’s what this show is about, Netflix trying to get paid.”
