Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story shot onto Nielsen’s weekly streaming charts after its recent launch on Netflix and was joined by the return of Gilmore Girls, which has a habit of entering the zeitgeist as fall starts.

The second installment in Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s “Monsters” anthology series logged 1.716 billion viewing minutes in the first four days after its Sept. 19 release, becoming the No. 1 most-watched streaming program during the interval between Sept. 16-22.

Biopics and true crime have gained traction after Netflix docuseries like “Baby Reindeer” and “Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile,” each retelling tragedies in hopes of broadening public awareness of the victims’ stories.
