Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story: Season 1 surged to the top of Netflix’s global charts immediately after its September 17 premiere, logging 12.1 million views in its first four days and matching the strong openings of prior Monster installments. Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s true-crime anthology benefits from proven audience demand, high-profile casting including Ella Beatty, and extensive promotional momentum that has kept the limited series ahead of competitors like Crew Girl and The Gentlemen. Trader consensus reflects these verified viewership metrics and the franchise’s historical performance. An upset remains possible only if a late-week surge from an established title or a new release dramatically alters the final ranking before the weekly chart locks.
