Go watch the movie "My Friend Dahmer." I think the movie was based on a graphic novel. It's told from the point of view of a friend from Dahmer's childhood who knew him up until his first kill. It doesn't have the extremely dark scenes in it, but that wasn't the point of the film. It simply showed why Dahmer became who he is.

Like Dawn I watched this primarily to see how Evan Peters portrayed Dahmer, he's SO underated as an actor, and I wasn't disapointed, but then the whole cast were outstanding too. I know the Dhamer story backwards, and while the show left out a lot of the graphic images that it could have gone into, it more than made up for that with it's raw emotion. 10/10

This was the most gritty, realistic, disturbing and nightmarish portrayal of Jeff (and I’d probably say a serial killer in general) that I’ve ever seen.

I’m so glad they actually focused on the victims and their family’s for a change. It made their deaths so much more impactful because we saw the human in all of them instead of them just being labeled as “Jeffery dahmer’s victims.” So often true crime reporters go into gruesome detail talking about how each person was killed and how they were disposed of instead of actually talking about their lives. Im so sick of people only talking about Jeffery’s childhood in attempts of excusing his future behavior instead of touching on the lives of those that he took.

I dont think people are trying to excuse his actions because his actions were morbid, horrible and inexcusable, I think people are just trying to understand and make sense on where the turning point happened cuz Dahmer himself has stated he doesn't know what the turning point is and says he believes he was just born that way, unlike other notorious serial killers he wasn't in denial or denied his actions he took all accountability and made no excuses, it seemed like he wanted to tell his father some of the things he done but he didn't want to hear it maybe deep down in those scenes before it all came out the father knew something really bad has happened and didn't want to hear it and accept it, he knew something was off and wrong but didn't want to hear how off and wrong. So between the "science experiments" his abandonment issues Hence he wanted them to stay with them, to not being heard when wanting to speak out about something is wrong with him and not having a voice to speak with ears he supposed to trust and a few other red flag moments that he was seeking for help to release himself of it he left to bottle and hide it. Who knows maybe many of the other victims would still be alive whether Dahmer spends his life earlier in prison from the killing that already happened at that point or in a mental hospital.

The deeper dive into the series it gives you feelings of being able to emphasize with everyone affected from a young Dahmer before the killings and make you wonder what the trigger was, was he born that way? Was it the dissecting of the animals mixed with being abandoned and pawned off Here and there? When trying to talk about his feelings and what's going on and not knowing how to deal with it? Or a mixture of all of it. Makes you feel for the dad cuz he seemed to care about his son more than the mother but you really only see that side of the story, but the dad when trying to help when he goes to jail from the first kid who got away writes a letter but never followed up just hoped they would do it and moved on, and when it never happened he knew something else could go wrong. Then you also have feeling for what the people felt and what was going through their minds and the families on the pain they felt not knowing what has happened to their child, brothers, their friend. Then when he gets caught and hearing of body after body being found then the news when the police come to deliver the news. It's very sad all the way around that whether they would have taken the dad's letter to heart to see what's wrong and help him but that was a different time that I don't think mental health was looked into and nearly as big of a concern as today so they brushed it to the side all the way to law enforcements incompetence, that there could have been much less victims.

Exactly. That's what made this show so real. Is because we've seen it in interviews. Courtrooms. Documentaries. When you grow up watching it presented in that fashion. We as the viewer are now naturally far removed from the seriousness of the crimes and the nature of it all. But this show puts us in the room with everyone that had been touched by the case. To see his parents pointing the finger at each other while privately blaming themselves was tearful. Seeing the victims with real lives, families, hopes and dreams and it all coming to a stop made me scream at the television. I caught myself pleading for their lives even when I knew how it would end. Other true crime stories aren't told like this.

The expressions of increasing panic and terror on Tracy’s face and the dirty, gritty scenery were very, very uncomfortable to witness. I actually did have to pause the episode and get some fresh air because the anxiety was getting to me. All that to say that choosing that scene to be the prelude to Jeffrey’s capture was a smart choice in avoiding at least some exploitation.

I remember when the Dahmer murders occurred and the Netflix series stayed very close to the facts. It exposed the full picture of what happened without glorifying Dahmer. It shed light on all aspects are still very relevant today. Dysfunctional and denial of mental health issues with a family dynamic, homophobic racist community policing policies and serial killer celebrity. All of which contributed to the continuation of Dahmer's killing spree. All and all the series was very well done. Evan Peters and Niecy Nash gave award winning outstanding performances. The writing, cinematography, music, props, etc., top notch. Ryan Murphy at his best. Recommended watch.

What made this show so haunting on a technical standpoint was the cinematography, the color palette and the editing. The yellow and brown coloring was almost a metaphor of the grim and decaying aspects of death. Which is what made Dahmer’s case so grotesque, so morbid, and so diabolical. What made this show quite original as well was showcasing the PTSD and the aftermath of the events of the murder. Especially within the community, the bystanders and Glenda’s mental health. It affected everyone. While many people might see serial killer media as disrespectful or a money grab, I believe that this show was both educational and entertaining (on a more disturbing note rather than pure shock value). I think everyone’s opinion on this show or any kind of serial killer media is valid and I think these conversations are important and bring more awareness of the human psyche, the morbid aspects of life and bringing justice for the victims.

I'm going to fuck him up. Watch the papers." I never saw that guy again. This series freaked me the fuck out. This guy had black hair and gorgeous blue eyes. He said was traveling through. I hope he didn't hurt anyone and thank god for my friends.

One of the reasons it made me uncomfortable was that I actually empathized with Dahmer, as portrayed by Evan Peters. Also the fact that Peters has undeniable star power and you're just glued to him whenever he's onscreen. There were many things Dahmer said throughout about how he felt powerless and things that resonated with me. This understanding and kinship I felt with a fucking serial killer was what was most disturbing to me. I know there are a lot of people out there who as teens did not fit in, were bullied, or had a difficult childhood and teen years, myself included. And it would be hard-pressed to say that none of Dahmer's statements rang true. But this is precisely what is so haunting--when you realize you, a normal nice person who would never dream of hurting someone like this, can actually empathize and put yourself in the shoes of someone most people would call a monster.

Me too, I felt gross for empathising with him but if the entire depiction is accurate then this is what got me, I couldn't organise my thoughts so have fun; 1. The mother taking mass pills during pregnancy, but mainly what the father said about the surgery at 4yo, if true it's like it put him on the spectrum, which ruined his social skills, leading to the isolation and alcoholism which exacerbated each other. 2. The isolation and alcohol addiction warped his already damaged mind, if you've drank long term and then quit you know how this works. 3. The sexual attraction to viscera and whatnot is a known condition, but how many of those people dissect roadkill with their father? Also the timing of it all, he's been drinking for a few years, having dark thoughts, dissecting road kill, then the drinking gets worse right when school ended, his parents leave, he starts fantasising about the hitchhiker and the booze makes you indulge in those type of thoughts, especially if you're constantly alone, not to mention how impulsive, reckless and confident alcohol makes you, so he pulls the stunt but ends up hanging out with Steven anyway, and 'accidentally' kills him, and having the knowledge, manages to dispose of the body, and realising in the process what he was capable of, that it got him what he wanted and how easy it was. I also began theorising that the autistic traits he had could've been big factors in why he couldn't stop himself, and how he was treating them like objects rather than people, which is actually similar to a porn addiction, going back to the obsessive nature of Jeff himself. In summary, it made me realise he was possibly just a slightly damaged person that received the perfect cocktail of life experiences that shaped him into something horrific. The show could be quite misleading though.

That's the worst about Dahmer. You watch his real life interviews and end up feeling sorry for him. It's the only serial killer I've felt that for. And it's so weird and awful to find human sympathy for someone so inhuman. It's easy to hate Ted Bundy, who was so arrogant. But Dahmer projects a feeling of horrific and absolute loneliness, like the Frankenstein monster. Like maybe he's also a victim. He makes me question everything I believe about the nature of evil.

Completely disagree and don’t know where you’re getting all these things that were “controversial”. I’ve seen nothing but praise for how things were handled with this show. The episode “silenced” wasn’t disrespectful at all, perhaps you just didn’t get it at all. By the sounds of the review you didn’t. These were actual people, not a storyline. The show didn’t create moments to make us “uncomfortable”, the entire real life murders were uncomfortable. They didn’t show excessive gore, again, what show did you watch, because if you actually read or knew of the graphic things he actually did, you would know that. We didn’t see him dismember anyone, eat anyone’s genitals, violently rape their corpses, or the other horrific things he did.

I enjoy the show- The acting, pacing, directing, soundtrack, ambience and vibe/production is all on point. Bravo. However my issue with the series is how they portray nearly every white person (cops, judges, Jeffery, his dad, his mom, victims, bullies) as racist/prejudiced, mean, angry, confused, insane, anxious etc.... while nearly every black person (victims, family, neighbors, bystanders) are portrayed as confident, collected, friendly, loving, clear-headed, etc.... Obviously its mostly based on facts and events..... but it feels like they reallllllllly tried to squeeze the wokeness out of this by centering it around black/gay victimhood and tried to use Jefferey himself as the "white boogie man"..... Even the more neutral characters (lacking obvious bad traits) are eventually portrayed as bad like his grandma portrayed as a prejudiced Christian lady.... I thought just maybe 1 white character could lack a terrible trait..... but nope they try to piss on everyone.... except every black character which is portrayed with nearly ZERO bad traits besides being too nice and trusting. If realism is what they were after, they did a bad job because not every white person is bad, and not every black person is good. Can we have some realistic characters? They were beating a dead horse with the amount of times they try to convey the idea that white people are prejudice...... its not true and that idea is RACIST in itself I do feel bad for the good black people that experienced racism.. but I ALSO FEEL BAD FOR THE WHITE/ASIAN/INDIAN/LATINO/BLACK VICTIMS of black gangs that rob and murder people They make it seem like a crime to acknowledge the fact that many cities are unsafe MOSTLY because of black criminal gangs.... saying that doesn't mean you are racist It just means you realize the reality of the space around you... however I do agree OBVIOUSLY that we should treat individuals with respect.... I have many black friends and they all agree with me, this show REALLY tries to make each and every white character "bad" in some way.... its propaganda straight up. I am Mexican and the anti-white bias is obvious.

@@tremblence I agree. I don’t understand why that point isn’t obvious to everyone. How can they think that everyone of a specific race is all good or all bad? People come in all kinds. But Hollywood is doing this a lot because lately white hate is very popular and people take a lot of comfort in blaming everything on white people and taking out their anger for their own life on them. Is only gonna create more culture tension and therefore perpetuate the problem. But if you point this out they call you racist because you’re no irrational and can understand that all cultures have had a bad past and some terrible things and we can’t punish the great great great great grandchildren of people who wronged your ancestors in the past. If this was so the Jews would still be trying to get revenge on the German and stuff like that. This is why wars continue and why humanity will never have peace. People want revenge instead of studying the history, learning it, understanding it was terrible and shameful, yet never repeating it again. It’s scary it almost feels like the supremacy will soon shift and the race war will never end. Most of us also come from ancestors who were enslaved, and raped, stripped of their lands, and tortured, but we just want peace.

The manner in which this story was told was a refreshing difference. I'll admit, it took me 2 days to finish watching the first episode. It was overwhelming. And, when I saw there were 9 more, I felt like I'd need a psychologist after. I came out being angry at the system. A feeling I never had watching other adaptations. The storytelling style is very similar to another Netflix show, When They See Us. The last episode of that series took me almost a week to finish. My heart couldn't take it. Dahmer's story is one too familiar for minority groups. Dahmer targeted his victims. He was fully aware of his privilege. The system allowed this evil man to avoid arrest, I believe at least 3x. First one was when he murdered Hicks. Dahmer was 18 yrs old then. The incompetent cops should have been arrested in aiding a serial killer. I know it's wishful thinking.

Some gay men will hookup blindfolded without even seeing the person. Some also want men to enter the thier home, walk into the bedroom to find them ass up....HELLZ NO! Why would you do that?

There was no racism, or homophbia, or sexism. People need to stop using these words out of content. Back then people knew about homosexuality, and didn't care. They had gay clubs, bathhouses back then. The thing with the cops wasn't racism. It had to do with incompetent, lazy cops. It isn't like today people constantly shoving their sexuality in your face and yelling treat me special because I am black, gay, trans, or whatever. Were there hate crimes back then yes. There's still hate crimes today. The problem was with Dahmer. He had nobody to talk too. His parents weren't in his life so he didn't learn to have healthy attachment with them. He had major abandment issue. If he had someone to talk too he would have been a different person.

The show would just turn into another slasher flick. The audience not only won't take it seriously or personally, but won't understand the gravity of the situation. On how very real the victims were and how real the killer is. Because we only get to see the story played out in documentaries and courtrooms. Which makes us so far removed from the seriousness of what has happened. A lot of people don't realize that the victims stories had been washed away as soon as the case was over. As soon as that apartment building was taken down. Their memories had been pushed into the void. This show brings them back in a way and shows us where we failed as a society and where we don't want to return. And how we shouldn't take serial killers lightly. Because they're not fictional. They're very very real. Their victims are very very real.

Which respect to the families. But this story's already been told. Time and time and time again. Just not as in depth from their side. I did not know dahmer grew up in bath, & youngest victim was lao.

I actually think that it’s more disrespectful to only show the story through Jeff’s eyes. I usually find these serial killer shows distasteful as they glorify the killer yet no one remembers the names of any of the victims. Spending a whole episode with tony with very little of Jeff in it was refreshing for me as it allowed for the viewer to truly see tony as a human being and not objectifying him as just a victim of the famous Jeffrey Dahmer.

I think Evan Peters performance was haunting because he showed us Dahmer’s humanity. He’s not an evil character like Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, or Michael Meyers. It didn’t make you feel sorry for him or excuse the atrocities he committed, but it showed you he was a human being that was somehow terribly broken. Whether it was inherited mental illness, damage cause by his mother’s drug abuse, the abandonment inflicted upon him throughout his life, or a combination of all these things that “broke” him and led him to commit his atrocities made it sad and haunting. I don’t think this show was graphic at all, especially if you consider that this series comes from the same people who create American Horror Story and American Horror Stories. I thought this series respectfully handled the physical damage he inflicted on his victims by not showing a lot of it, but showing just enough brief glimpses to make the horror of what he’s done real for the viewers. I understand why they chose the storyline with Tony Hughes that they did, but I felt it was horribly disrespectful to his surviving family members, unless the producers/writers have some documentation to verify there was an actual relationship like this between Jeffrey & Tony. I think Evan Peters, Richard Jenkins, and Niecy Nash all deserve awards for their performances.

Also, I agree that it’s hard to say this isn’t disrespectful, especially with the graphic, gory images. I was pretty shocked that they’d choose to have that kind of gore when they’re telling real stories, especially the scene where Dahmer eats the organs of Tony Hughes. To be a family member and even hear that a Netflix show is broadcasting that scene is pretty disgusting. However I can also see the areas that the show succeeded and added significant elements surrounding racism and the spectacle that is put on by the media with these cases.

Great review! Just finished the series. I agree it is haunting. Not a fan of the perspective. We have a lot of movies that follow this serial killer. If it was up to me, I would have created a series completely devoted to the victims. Where we follow the last days of their lives before meeting him. In my version he would have been played by a different actor in each episode to stress the importance of his insignificance. My final episode would have been the story of the life of the inmate right up to the moment he killed him.

This show does look very well done. But I don’t know if I can watch it. I lived only blocks away from his grandmother’s house in West Allis at the time all of this occurred. I remember all the coverage on local news. My best friend’s mother was the receptionist at his doctor’s office and met him once. I noticed in the clips you were showing there is a scene on a Ferris wheel. I already know that he had been arrested at the WI Stare Fair that was less than a mile from my house. As kids in the 80s we rode city buses, we biked all over… we went to the fair all the time. My mind goes crazy wondering if our paths ever crossed. I really don’t know if I want to see the details depicted knowing I lived so close to true evil. It makes you wonder about the bad people out there, and those we don’t know about that are living in our midsts. My heart still goes out for those victims and their families.

How can the graphic scenes of real life murders be disrespectful? This show has perfectly shown us how real evil actually looks like. We should stop being so sensitive and triggered by everything. Those scenes have made us sympathise even more with the victims, because it feels more real when you see it with your own eyes instead of hearing/reading about it.

As in this otherwise top-notch Netflix production, I have the same seemingly trivial gripe about brown-eyed actors portraying Ted Bundy: WHY don't they INSIST on wearing blue contact lenses?!? Bundy had deep, ocean blue eyes and Dahmer had pale grey-blue eyes. In the case of Bundy, so many young women who encountered him spoke of his weird, scary blue eyes. HOW can this be continued to be ignored?!?

Evan Peter's is fantastic in this... I've always liked Peter's but he's on a whole nother level here. It feels like he's really tapped into this role that it doesn't feel like it's Peter's playing Dahmer. It feels like Peter's is Dahmer.
