Monstros

I had high expectations of this. After seeing Evan Peters in AHS, I just knew he would be great in this role. He did not disappoint.

I haven't seen many docos on Dahmer so don't really know that much about his personality or demeanor, but the character that Peters portrays is complex, creepy, and just plain twisted and evil.

One of the most disturbing details of Dahmer's crimes that this series highlights is how the police ignored and dismissed witness reports, and their lack of action allowed Dahmer to stay free and kill more men.

This series is excellent. I suggest you start watching it early in the afternoon as you will want to binge watch the whole series.

This is a solid true crime show with brilliant acting. Especially Evan Peters does an awesome job. It's exciting to see the horrible story of JD staged so carefully. Would have been an 8 but the last two episodes focus too much on JDs neighbour Glenda Cleveland. She surely suffered a lot when JDs crimes were discovered but 15 people had been killed whose friends and families certainly suffered a lot more. I think those people deserve more attention than a lady that indeed did a good job but was not involved in the matter so much. That's why the last episodes are a little bit slow moving. All in all worth a watch.

I want to star off by saying Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer story (what a ridiculous title) is a very tough watch. I grew up about 30min from Milwaukee and even though I was a little kid when he was arrested I still remember this story being a huge, especially around here. How he was able to get away with what he did for as long as he did is very troubling. The police dropped the ball time and time again and lots of innocent lives were lost because of it. Evan Peters deserves every bit of recognition he's getting from this series, he was brilliant. The rest of the cast is good too but it's Peters who makes this show what it is.

I'm reading a lot of these reviews and it seems like the point of season 3 went over a lot of your heads. The majority of things that happen when Ed is on screen is in his head. It's the fanciful creation that he made up. What we're seeing on screen is the delusions of a schizophrenic mind which is why it is so jangled and weird and off-putting and not anywhere close to the truth. If you remember this as you're watching the series it'll come off as much better. You're not going to get the honest truth from Ed's perspective because he didn't see it the way we see it. The only stuff that portrays as accurate is when we switch to the movies that were inspired by Ed's life. The scenes with Hitchcock and Psycho and Texas chainsaw massacres creation. Those are the truest parts. Ed was inspired by war photos he saw in world war II in the Nazi camps and Toby Hopper and Hitchcock were inspired by what Ed actually did in real life to create what they did.

Now that we got that out of the way I just want to say that Charlie hunnam's performance is amazing although I do worry about what he had to do to get in a mental state to portray this character. He definitely needs an Emmy nomination.

The only reason this didn't get a higher rating for me was the very last episode with the various other serial killers. It's one thing to show Ed gein's crazy mind and the things he thought of but it's another thing to exploit the crimes that Ted Bundy and Richard Speck did for views and voyeurism. Plus both of their stories were pretty much untrue in their relation to Ed gein. Maybe this is just another example of him making this stuff up in his mind?

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. And what a mini-series it is!

The acting is superb. 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 shows! 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 commited 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.

Netflix really surprised me big time with this great show! It deserves a solid 9 stars! And I don't easily give away a 9 star rating!
