Netflix continues to draw strong viewership with content surrounding Lyle and Erik Menendez.

True crime documentary “The Menendez Brothers” was the the most-watched title on the streamer during the week of Oct. 6-12. Premiering on Oct. 7, it hit 22.7 million views in its first six days of availability.

The film benefitted from recently increased attention on the brothers, drummed up by real-life developments in their case as well as Ryan Murphy’s scripted series “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.” Having premiered on Sept. 19, the series is in its fourth week on the Netflix Top 10 and remains popular, landing at No. 3 with 8.7 million views.

The two TV titles to beat “Monsters” were Season 4 of “Outer Banks,” which debuted No. 1 with 15.5 million views in its first three days of availability, and “Nobody Wants This,” back at No. 2 with 9.6 million views after debuting there and then spending one week in the top position.

The Amazing Digital Circus introduces viewers to a fascinating yet unsettling scenario.

Less than a year ago, Glitch Productions uploaded the pilot episode of “The Amazing Digital Circus” to YouTube with a plea to help them fund a full season. Now, 346 million views later, “The Amazing Digital Circus” is coming to Netflix while continuing to premiere new episodes on YouTube.

A deceptively cheery-looking animated series about life under the big top, the Australian animated series is a delightfully dark comedy about, as Glitch Productions wrote on its website, “A woman gets trapped in a crazy virtual world along with five other humans and are now subject to the whims of wacky AI and their own personal traumas.” Or, put another way, “What if it was ‘Toy Story,’ but everyone was a jerk?”

Created and directed by Gooseworx (also a composer on “Hazbin Hotel”) and produced by Glitch Productions, “The Amazing Digital Circus” will premiere Episodes 1–3 on Netflix October 4, the same day the third episode premieres on YouTube.
