You don’t really get into his predicament
Tale
An anthology series about high-profile crimes or killers that captured the public’s attention and notoriety. Evan Peters [Jeffrey Dahmer] says they had a rule, from Ryan Murphy [creator] for the series: that it would never be told from Dahmer’s point of view. “As an audience, you don’t really sympathize with him. You kind of, you know, look at him from the outside.” In many episodes, a 3M Command(TM) comic book is shown in the kitchen of Jeffery Dahmer’s apartment, this is set in 1991 at the latest.
And what a mini-series!
3M released its first wave of Command(TM) products in 1996. Featured in Jeremy Vine: Episode #5.195 (2022). When I clicked to watch the release of “Dahmer” on Netflix, I thought it would be yet another documentary about him. But what a surprise to see that it is actually a mini-series about the crimes committed by Dahmer.
The acting is superb
The script is top-notch! The cinematography is some of the best I have seen in a serial killer crime series! I am a huge fan of Mindhunter, the series about the origins of the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit. And I have to admit that Dahmer fits perfectly into this type of series!
Netflix really surprised me with this great series!
The series captivated me from the first episode and I binge-watched it from then on. I know there are many other films, like “People’s Magazine”, that depict the crimes committed by notorious killers. But what Netflix has shown with Dahmer is a whole new level of directing! People magazine movies are just amateur movies compared to the Dahmer series.
It deserves a solid 9 star rating!
And I don’t give 9 stars easily!
