First season was the best in my opinion because of the novelty of the characters. And yes, the hybrids you see more and more of as the series progresses are somewhat Jim Hensonesque and can make the show a bit cringe at times. But honestly given the premise and light heartedness of a lot of those scenes, I wouldn't knock the creators or art department too hard for how the hybrid moments turned out.
Season three wraps up the series quite well and in the end, the story is heavy when it needs to be, light when it doesn't, and captivating and paced well all the way through. More importantly, it is incredibly touching and emotionally rich storytelling. We need more of that in this day and age.

At a running time of nearly nine hours, many might wonder why it takes this series nearly 7 hours more than most other films or documentaries on the same topic to capture the life and events of Jeffrey Dahmer...
The answer is because this series offers a rich panorama of both the psychopath's journey as well as all of the psychological horror he inflicts on all of the lives in the crossfire. His apartment neighbor, his father, his grandmother, his victims, and his victims' families.
The tragic series is surprisingly detailed and stays as close to the story as possible. The narrative moves around on several timelines through periods of his life in an unpredictable order. This seems to me to have been done for pacing rather than providing back stories. Though it moves in a more linear timeline in the last few episodes.
What this series does better than most is breathe life and humanity into the victims--mostly through the life of Tony, a young deaf, aspiring black model with a big heart from an incredibly loving family. It may bring you to tears when that episode wraps up. It is just devastating.
All of the acting is sublime. You feel for nearly every character on screen at times, even the monster himself. Standouts to me are Evan Peters, Niecy Nash and Richard Jenkins, as they had the most screen time, but it was well acted throughout.
TL;DR give it a watch, especially if you've seen other Dahmer movies... This one is something special.
