Controversial series knocked off Netflix top spot by newcomer everyone is raving about

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story has been knocked off the Netflix No 1 spot .

The controversial Ryan Murphy made true-crime thriller has been bumped to second place after Kristen Bell/Adam Brody comedy Nobody Wants This from creator Erin Foster gained popularity with viewers.

Nobody Wants This was the No. 1 English speaking TV program on Netflix for the week of September 13, with 15.9 million views in its second week.

Monsters meanwhile maintained a very healthy 13.1 million views which gave it a comfortable shift into the No 2 spot. Nobody Wants This made its debut last week at No. 2 with 10.3 million views in its first four days of streaming.

Monsters is still a force to be reckoned with having spent the previous two weeks at No. 1, with 19.5 million views on the chart last week. At No 3 on the English chart was Season 7 of romantic reality show Love Is Blind which garnered a healthy 5.2 million views, with Season 3 of coming-of-age drama Heartstopper snatching the No 4 spot with 4.5 million views.

Meanwhile, Nicole Kidman's The Perfect Couple is still doing it for viewers in its fifth week on the chart and sitting pretty at No 5 with 3.8 million views.
