Jeffrey Dahmer gives serial killers a bad name.
Watching this series, I got frustrated at how sloppy and careless this guy was. I thought serial killers were fastidious. But everyone in the vicinity of Dahmer was constantly complaining about the awful smells. People would stumble in on him in the middle of killing his victims. So it was just a matter of time before one escaped and he was caught.
And that is how this series begins, with the situation which led to his capture.
There are times when this show really drags, but Evan Peters does such a good job that I found myself forgetting the guy on TV wasn't actually Dahmer.
Peters does TOO good of a job acting in the role. He gets into it way too much. My daughter told me he plays a similar character in the American Horror Story series (which I've never seen) and so he was prepared to play Dahmer.
There isn't as much gore and violence as you would expect in a story about a serial killer, and for that I am grateful.
One grimly humorous scene takes place while Dahmer is confessing all the grisly details of his murders to the police, but is unable to call himself gay. The stigma of being gay was worse than being a serial killer.
You may or may not like this show. It's a tossup.
I don't know how true to life this show is, but I read the details of his capture and the first episode is dead-on accurate.
