You’re not really getting into his plight
Plot
An anthology series about high-profile crimes or killers that captured public attention and notoriety.. Evan Peters [Jeffrey Dahmer] says they had one rule, from Ryan Murphy [Creator] to follow going into the series: that it would never be told from Dahmer’s point of view. "As an audience, you're not really sympathizing with him. You’re more sort of watching it, you know, from the outside.".
Featured in Jeremy Vine: Episode #5195 (2022)
In many episodes there is a 3M Command(TM) strip shown in Jeffery Dahmer’s apartment kitchen, this takes place in 1991 by the latest. 3M debuted its first wave of Command(TM) products in 1996.. When I clicked to watch the “Dahmer”-release on Netflix, I thought it would be the so-many’th documentary on him. But what a surprise it was to see that it is actually a mini-series of the crimes that Dahmer committed.
The acting is superb
And what a mini-series it is! The script is top-notch! The cinematography one of the best that I have seen in a true crime series of a serial killer! I am a big fan of Mindhunter, the show about the origins of the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit.
And I must admit that Dahmer fits right into this type of show!
The show captured me from the first episode and it was a single binge from then on. I know that there are many other movies from for instance "People's Magazine" that portray the crimes committed by notorious killers. But what Netflix has shown with Dahmer is a complete new level of enactment! The movies from People’s Magazine are just amateur hour compared to the Dahmer-series.
It deserves a solid 9 stars!
Netflix really surprised me big time with this great show! And I don’t easily give away a 9 star rating!
