I managed to get through six episodes of this series before I had to stop. For me, it wasn't just disturbing it felt deeply wrong. This isn't a fictional story. These were real people who went through unimaginable horrors, and recreating their murders on screen feels exploitative rather than insightful.
I understand the curiosity about how someone like Dahmer thought, but there are far more respectful ways to explore that - articles, interviews, or documentaries that focus on the psychology without sensationalizing the violence. Turning such tragedies into "entertainment" crosses a line.
On top of that, I noticed several inaccuracies and parts that seemed to be altered for dramatic or political effect. If you can't even stick to the truth while dealing with real victims' lives, then what's the point?
For me, this series wasn't enlightening, it wasn't respectful, and it certainly wasn't entertaining. It just left me with a bad feeling that these victims and their families were being exploited all over again.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is a surprisingly entertaining entry in the series that manages to capture the fun, spectacle, and heart that fans have been hoping for. The action sequences are well-choreographed and easy to follow (something that earlier movies sometimes struggled with), and the introduction of the Maximals adds a fresh layer of excitement to the story. The visuals are stunning, with the CGI blending seamlessly into the environments, and the soundtrack gives the movie a nostalgic yet modern energy.
What really worked for me were the human characters-they felt more grounded and relatable this time, which made it easier to care about the stakes. The movie also benefits from a more streamlined plot compared to some of its predecessors, avoiding unnecessary clutter.
The one drawback is that the pacing can feel uneven in the middle, where the momentum slows down before building back up to the final act. It's not a deal-breaker, but it does take away some of the intensity.
Overall, Rise of the Beasts is a solid blockbuster that delivers on action, visuals, and entertainment. It's not perfect, but it's a big step forward for the franchise. A fun ride worth watching.

Real Steel is a perfect blend of action, heart, and inspiration. From the moment the movie starts, it draws you into a futuristic world where robot boxing takes center stage. The concept is unique, and the execution is flawless, making it one of the most entertaining movies I've ever seen.
Hugh Jackman delivers a compelling performance as Charlie Kenton, a flawed yet likable protagonist. His journey from a washed-up ex-boxer to a devoted father is beautifully portrayed. The chemistry between him and Dakota Goyo, who plays his son Max, is the emotional core of the film and had me invested every step of the way.
The robot Atom is a character in its own right, and I loved how the filmmakers made us root for this underdog robot. The fight sequences are thrilling and visually stunning, with top-notch special effects that bring the robots to life. The climactic battle had me on the edge of my seat, cheering for Atom as if I were watching a real boxing match.
What makes Real Steel stand out is its heart. Beneath the action-packed exterior is a touching story about redemption, family, and never giving up, no matter the odds. It's a film that leaves you with a smile and a sense of hope.
I highly recommend Real Steel to anyone who loves a good underdog story or simply wants an uplifting, action-packed movie. It's a film I'll revisit time and time again. Truly a 10/10 masterpiece!
