Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story: Season 1 holds dominant market-implied odds near 90% as the frontrunner for top U.S. Netflix show this week, driven by its September 17 premiere as the latest Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan anthology entry. The eight-episode true-crime drama starring Ella Beatty as the accused 1892 axe murderer quickly claimed the No. 1 spot on Netflix’s English TV chart with 12.1 million views in its first four days, outperforming recent competitors like Crew Girl and Jo Koy specials. Trader consensus reflects the series’ established franchise momentum, high-profile cast including Charlie Hunnam and Rebecca Hall, and strong initial streaming metrics. An upset would require a major new release or unexpected surge in an existing title to overtake its current lead before weekly rankings lock.
