Went from OK to very bad
This started out ok. Obviously, the Jeffrey Dahmer story on its own is highly compelling. It should have been easy to make a great miniseries about the story.
Unfortunately, after a few episodes of decent story (but subpar acting), the series goes downhill rapidly. Instead of a story about Jeffrey Dahmer, it becomes a typical Netflix production that focuses on politics and race.
You'll be lectured about AIDS and told in one episode that it impacts churchgoers more than the gay community. Then, the story will shift into a focus on race. You know the drill with Netflix by now: White people bad and Black people good.
If that's not enough for you, wait until you have to watch an entire episode with no sound because the director thinks it's important for you to experience the episode as if you were deaf.
This show becomes unwatchable. Don't waste your time.
