Lately, we reported that Netflix’s Dahmer became the streaming service’s most-viewed drama series ever. With an incredible 115,600,000 distinct viewers and more than 1 billion hours watched, Dahmer stands as one of the platform’s top performers. The next entry in the anthology, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, stands a chance of reaching the top (and if Stranger Things 5 is ever released, it will certainly make the charts), although it could face competition in the Non-English category where a lesser-known show has made its way into the Top 10 as Netflix’s most-watched murder mystery.
According to Netflix: A rich family set him up for the killing of his sister. Now he will exploit their deepest secrets to ensure they suffer consequences.
José Ignacio Valenzuela’s Who Killed Sara? was broadcast over three seasons from 2021 to 2022. Notably, the second season was released only two months following the conclusion of the first season. In this age of painfully extended waits between seasons (once more, we’re looking at you, Stranger Things), that is nothing less than a miracle.
Who Killed Sara? achieved worldwide acclaim, securing the top position for multiple weeks in the United States. Before Squid Games, it held the title of Netflix’s most-watched foreign language series ever. Not an easy task for a murder mystery.
It is advantageous that Who Killed Sara? achieved both critical acclaim and commercial success. Critics lauded the intrigue, sensuality, and telenovela vibe present in every episode, making it irresistibly watchable right up to its surprising finale. That type of binge-worthy genre TV is where Netflix really excels. Disregarding the current attitude toward television consumption—binge-watching a complete season in one evening, anticipating years for the follow-up—murder mysteries are particularly well-equipped to engage viewers immediately and compel them to see what unfolds, and Who Killed Sara? achieved unprecedented success for this reason.
Even now, enthusiasts can’t stop enjoying the series. With the increasing number of titles arriving on Netflix—particularly more murder mysteries featuring Nicole Kidman—it’s simple for a show like Who Killed Sara? to go unnoticed. If you overlooked the series when it initially debuted, there’s a good possibility you may not be aware of its existence.
A number of fans are still tuning in, though, and you can view their selected reactions below:
