    Cliche-fest

    The narrator sounds like someone who polished his deep and meaningful voice in the 1970s, and was dug up especially for this. The talking heads (whoever they are) come across as worryingly psychotic themselves, with twitches, combovers and wonky eyes. Very hard to watch. Not for the content, but for the weirdos involved.

    I can't believe this wasn't made decades ago. Not something I could recommend, or bother to watch again.

    Extremely inaccurate. Can you rate it a 0?

    This was sooo inaccurate with the IMPORTANT DETAILS it was ridiculous. If you were wanting to learn something from this, just know that you learned nothing. The only "insight" was from podcasters. PODCASTERS.

    Interesting until it got to the psychotherapist

    You can tell what year a documentery was made when they pull the race card. After 2020. This was interesting to watch unyil they had Jasmine Johnson the black supremist provide narrative. As with everything she believes the police didnt follow up on things because of the color of their skin. With nothing to back it up because they were white they just had to be bias toward investigating the victims. She only takes african american clients for counseling of course. How do people get away this?

    The stories from the people who were around when the murders took place was the best part. I also like how they incorporated the old footage.

    Truly disturbing

    There's nothing wrong with the editing style or voice of the narrator in my opinion, but this show is quite disturbing. I watch true crime docs frequently but the Dahmer story is one of the worst and so tragic for the male victims and families involved. Many decent interviews of people who knew Dahmer. Who knew a nice looking clean cut guy could be such a monster. Viewer beware as this is a tough story to watch and sad for many in the LGBT community.

    Zebrowski wasn't even allowed to do characters

    This is a high level documentary about things you knew about Dahmer. Enthusiasts will quickly note the lack of relevant details: Dahmer acting out his mother's seizures, hamming it up in class to get attention, his offerings of meat to neighbors who still aren't quite sure what they got, etc. And then for some reason this documentary has a B-story of other random other killers who may or may not have eaten people. So every few bullet points in the Dahmer timeline, you'll be treated to an even higher level quick run through of different crimes and will have learned next to nothing about them before the documentary gives you whiplash by loosely relating them to Dahmer. Throughout the witness interviews, you also get to listen to podcasters recount some facts about Dahmer but they aren't allowed to be entertaining. Their talents in making the macabre somewhat palatable is directed and edited away so you don't even get a little levity while hearing about murders. Don't watch this to learn anything. Watch it cuz Henry says, "That's when the cannibalism started."
