You’re not really getting into his situation
Synopsis
An anthology series about high-profile crimes or murders that have captured the public’s attention and notoriety. Evan Peters [Jeffrey Dahmer] says they had a rule, from Ryan Murphy [Creator] to follow at the beginning of 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 kind of watching it, you know, from the outside.” In several episodes there is a 3M Command(TM) strip shown in the kitchen of Jeffery Dahmer’s apartment, this one takes place in 1991 from the last one.
And what a miniseries!
3M debuted their first wave of Command(TM) products in 1996. Featured in Jeremy Vine: Episode #5,195 (2022). When I clicked to watch the release of “Dahmer” on Netflix, I thought it would be the number one documentary about him. But what a surprise it was to find out that it is actually a miniseries about the crimes committed by Dahmer.
The acting is superb
The writing is top notch! The photography is some of the best I have ever seen in a true crime series about a serial killer! I am a huge fan of Mindhunter, the series about the origins of the FBI Behavioral Science Unit. And I have to say that Dahmer fits perfectly into this type of series!
Netflix has really surprised me greatly with this amazing show!
The series had me hooked from the first episode and has been a unique marathon ever since. I know there are many other films, for example from “People’s Magazine”, that portray the crimes committed by notorious killers. But what Netflix has shown with Dahmer is a whole new level of dramatization! The People’s Magazine films are just an amateur hour compared to the Dahmer series.
It deserves a full 9 stars!
And I don’t give a 9 star rating easily!
