You don’t really get into his plight

Scenario

An anthology series about high-profile crimes or murderers who gained widespread public attention and fame. Evan Peters [Jeffrey Dahmer] says that Ryan Murphy [the creator] had one rule when starting 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’re more of an outsider.” Many episodes feature a 3M Command(TM) strip in the kitchen of Jeffery Dahmer’s apartment, most recently in 1991. 3M introduced its first wave of Command(TM) products in 1996. Evan Peters has seriously outdone himself in this regard.

The cinematography and music were also impressive

His acting was excellent, and Dahmer’s portrayal, from the clothing to the facial expressions, everything was spot on, everything was perfect, down to the last detail. And apart from him, the performances of the rest of the cast (his father, mother, grandmother, Glenda Cleveland, and the victims) were excellent. The writing and the screenplay were also decent, especially since not too many creative liberties were taken and thus the story stayed close to the real events.

But overall, it is a must-watch

The only thing that disappointed me a bit was the length. The pacing was a bit slow, especially in the last few episodes, and I think the series could have easily been concluded in 8 episodes instead of 10. Especially for those interested in the crime thriller genre.

And that’s what makes it unique and interesting to watch

It is a realistic look at one of the most notorious serial killers in our history, where they haven’t romanticized him and in fact, they have criticized those who tend to do so.
