Dahmer Becomes One Of Three Netflix Shows To Hit 1 Billion Viewing Hours
Dahmer–Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story has proven to be a viewing powerhouse for Netflix. According to Variety, the Ryan Murphy-created true-crime series has clocked more than one billion viewing hours within 60 days of its September 21 debut.
So far, only two other titles in Netflix’s library and launch history have achieved this feat: Squid Game and Season 4 of Stranger Things, earlier this year. Variety is further reporting that Dahmer’s debut week saw the show rack up 3.7 billion minutes on Nielsen’s charts, a figure that represents the 10th biggest streaming week ever since that third party started tracking streaming. Another recent plaudit for Netflix: Wednesday recently became Netflix’s most-watched show in a single week with 341 million hours for the week of November 21-27.
Although originally intended as a limited series, Monster was renewed for two additional seasons in November. The show will shift from focusing on Dahmer to an anthology series where each season will follow “other monstrous figures who have impacted society.”

Disney wants to use your viewing history to personalize your park experience
Disney could soon start using your Disney Plus viewing habits to influence your experience at its parks — and vice versa. In an interview at The Wall Street Journal’s Tech Live event, Disney CEO Bob Chapek said the company’s working on a way to tailor both experiences based on how you interact with its physical and digital offerings.
“If you’re on Disney Plus, we should be aware of what happened, what you experienced, what you liked, the last time you visited a park, and vice versa,” Chapek explained. “When you’re in a park, we should know what your viewing habits are on Disney Plus.”

‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ sets Amazon Prime viewing record
The two-episode premiere of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power drew 25 million viewers around the world in 24 hours, making it the biggest debut in Prime Video’s history, Amazon said in a press release. “It is somehow fitting that Tolkien’s stories — among the most popular of all time, and what many consider to be the true origin of the fantasy genre — have led us to this proud moment,” said Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke.
There was a lot on the line for the series, with a reported $465 million budget for the first season and heavy competition from HBO’s rival House of Dragons series. The latter also recently debuted to the highest ratings in HBO’s history with 9.986 million viewers across its linear HBO and streaming HBO Max platforms.
Amazon also took the unusual step of delaying reviews for The Rings of Power by 72 hours to filter out trolls, Variety reported. It appeared to have been “review bombed” on sites like Rotten Tomatoes, where it received a 37 percent rating from users but an 84 percent mark from critics. The series has faced trolling over its decision to cast actors of color as elves, dwarves and other characters.
The studio plans to evaluate each review to determine whether it’s legitimate or created by a bot or troll. Amazon first introduced the practice when the baseball series A League of Their Own debuted on August 12th. That strategy appears to have worked, with the latter earning a 4.3 out of 5 star rating on Prime Video, compared to a 94 percent Rotten Tomatoes critic rating (however, that also closely lines up with the 85 percent audience score on RT).

It looks like streaming ruled monthly TV viewing for the first time ever
More people spent their TV time watching a streaming service than cable or broadcast last month, according to a report from Nielsen (via The Wall Street Journal). The audience measurement company says that this is the first time ever that streaming services have accounted for the biggest chunk of people’s viewing habits.
The report says that services like Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu made up 34.8 percent of people’s watch time, while cable made up 34.4 percent. Broadcast TV made up for 21.6 percent. Added together, traditional TV services still beat streaming, but streaming had the biggest piece of the pie.
