The new Dahmer series on Netflix delves deep into the Milwaukee Monster’s troubled childhood and early life. The show also explores the victims’ backstories.
A brief description of the series, according to Netflix’s official YouTube channel, reads:
”From the Emmy award winning creator of American Crime Story comes Dahmer – Monster: the Jeffrey Dahmer Story. The series examines the gruesome and horrific true crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer and the systemic failures that enabled one of America’s most notorious serial killers to continue his murderous spree in plain sight for over a decade.”
The show stars Evan Peters as the notorious serial killer. The actor’s performance received unanimous praise from viewers and critics.
Peters told Netflix that he was ”very scared about all of the things that he did” and spoke about the ”dark places” he had to go to in order to play the role. He said:
”Honestly, I was very scared about all of the things that he did, and diving into that and trying to commit to that was absolutely going to be one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do in my life, because I wanted it to be very authentic, but in order to do that, I was going to have to go to really dark places and stay there for an extended period of time.”
The show continues to polarize viewers and critics. Many are accusing the show of glorifying and romanticizing Dahmer’s life while criticizing its depiction of graphic violence. Others, however, praised the series’ thematic ambitions and gripping storytelling style.
