's gruesome retelling of the Jeffrey Dahmer murders continues to hit streaming records on the platform.
The 10-episode series, 'Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,' has surpassed and as the most-watched show on Netflix in its first week, as it has surpassed a half-billion views.
Created by Ryan Murphy, the show which centers on one of America's most famous serial killers - who notoriously ate his victims - has become the platform's ninth most popular English-language TV series of all time.
'Monster' debuted September 21 to an audience of 196.2 million. The show chronicles the shocking murders of 17 young men and boys at the hands of the Milwaukee killer between 1978 and 1991.
It retells the story of Dahmer from the perspective of his victims and explores major mistakes Wisconsin police made in handling the probe of the notorious mass murderer, who made national headlines for acts of cannibalism and necrophilia.
The record was previously held by another violent show, 'Squid Game.' The fictional South Korean series depicts hundreds of contestants bid for a massive sum of money through horrifying versions of playground pkv games

The show, starring Evan Peters, 35, features at least 10 incidents in which authorities almost took Dahmer into custody, extending his crime spree.
Peters said that he was 'scared' to take on the role due to Dahmer's horrific past, adding that he had to go to 'dark places' during filming to get into the mindset of the killer.
Richard Rushfield, a columnist for The Ankler, told that the show's success is derived from its violent nature.
'True crime has become a huge phenomenon across the medium,' he said.

'I think that, in tumultuous times where people feel uneasy and a lot of anxiety about their world, watching true crime helps them sort of acclimate themselves to the worst things on earth and they become accustomed to it. 
'It makes the world a little less scary.'

Dahmer claimed 17 victims over the course of his killing spree
Despite the series' record-breaking numbers, others have been critical of the show depicting the trauma that surviving victims are now having to relive.
The sister of Dahmer victim Errol Lindsey, Rita Isbell, speaking with Insider Sunday, said that Netflix never reached out to her about the series, calling it harsh and careless.
'I feel like Netflix should've asked if we mind or how we felt about making it,' she said.

'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.' 
 'For people who are traumatized, what happens is you're hearing everyone talk about it,' said Alyssa Mairanz, owner and psychologist with Empower Your Mind Therapy.
'It's being advertised all over social media and TV, and so its interface can bring back a lot of dark emotions.'
