What did you think when watching Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story?

I like the way the victims were humanized and centered around that these were not just victims but REAL people. Too many serial killer docs and shows are more like horror movies and then sensationalize the monsters who destroys peoples lives and happiness. This show was very well done. It brought tears to my eyes.

Peters was phenomenal, he can definitely get an Emmy nomination for his performance, he had the look down but even the calm monotone voice too, amazing show and I can’t believe that the memorial was never built for all of Dahmers victims

Peters did a great job. He is really talented . But I don’t think they need to make any more projects about dahmer.

The wildest thing is how Dahmer actually got away with all this shit for years... How many times people were warned about him how many years was he killing.. the fact that I'm black made this hit even harder

This is such a deep, truly disturbing show. The acting and well depictions of the each horror events has a really Jaw dropping. I hope Evan Peters gets some serious notoriety.

Evans portrayed Dahmer perfectly, he deserves an award

I hate when they change details in true crime media. The truth is horrifying and fascinating enough imo.

I really enjoyed this. Evan is so talented and did a phenomenal job portraying Dahmer

This was so unsettling that I had to binge the whole thing; I didn't think I could sleep until it was over.

I am watching this now and my biggest problem is the makers of this are adding race into a lot of it. Race had very little to do with Dahmer’s crimes. If anything he preferred black or darker skinned men. Is not because he was racist. And the police ignored a lot of it not because it was crimes against blacks but that it involved homosexuals. Tired of trying to find racial problems when they are not there.

I don't think this show sensationalized anything. It definitely didn't glorify Dahmer. It showed him as the true monster he was.

I'd honestly enjoy seeing a series like this for other serial killers.

The show isn't really accurate. Glenda Cleveland didn't even live in the same building as Jeffrey Dahmer. People never heard screams from his apartment because he subdued his victims, his neighbours (including his black neighbours) actually liked Dahmer. They didn't think he was creepy and his next-door neighbour Pamela Bass actually cried when Dahmer was killed. She thought he was very polite, etc. She didn't think he was creepy and she ate his sandwiches which made her think she probably consumed human flesh. Jeffrey Dahmer never killed the new guy that moved into the apartment building. That character didn't exist. Dahmer was also never evicted. He never targeted his victims because they were black.

Start a petition for the memorial park.

The humanization of those souls Dahmer killed…so well done

I believe he snapped within that 3 month period of being alone at 18 and no one checking on him

I think they did a great job humanizing the victims in this show. I learned so much about each victim that I actually cried when Tony Hughes was killed. So awful.

Claiming respect to families while making money off of them is the only consistent trope these days.

I have a feeling that Dahmer was the first in a new series .Murphy has already shown glimpses of other serial killers in Monster Gein and Gacy might be next.

The overuse of beige decor creates an oppressive and hopeless feel. Very well done.

I really enjoyed it ! It was very detailed from start to finish ! Best Dahmer movie I've seen so far. 💯

Would love to see a John wayne gacy mini series with the same writers and directors of Dahmer. He's in the last episode of the dahmer series and he's terrifying

I can’t stop thinking of the victims. It’s so easy to put yourself in their shoes. Usually I don’t get bothered by horror movies. But knowing this happend to real people makes it so horrific, that you feel ill.

Ryan Murphy really loves Evan Peters as an actor.

Thanks for sharing, I just finished this series and I was also rather curious about the accuracy of this portrayal, particularly the parents account of a psychological change after a hernia operation? I just got to wondering if perhaps this has caused some kind of deep trauma, or if perhaps he suffered anaesthesia awareness, or even an out-of-body experience during surgery - you know morbid fascination with shiny flesh etc.. I've heard out-of-body experiences are often (although not exactly sexual) associated with feelings of bliss and ecstasy. So that's my little pet theory, based on this series: Dahmer has hernia surgery as a child, has some form of trauma, perhaps waking during surgery or an out-of-body experience, perhaps floats above his body and sees his chest cavity open, perhaps also (unfortunately) feels a higher level of ecstasy during said experience, subsequently buries said experience deep in the subconscious, which later resurfaces on some level while dissecting road-kill with his Dad. Having said all that, I'm 100% pro capital punishment for dangerous, unremorseful proven killers - with mercy for accidents and some provoked crimes of passion. Overall, I'm just sick of all the violence really, it's 1 simple rule absolutely none of us seem to be able to follow; same as it always was, expertly put by Jesus; "Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you".

Please give this dude an Oscar

On-screen portrayals of CLOWNS 🤡👮🏻‍♂️ with badges are ALWAYS ACCURATE

just realized my favorite series are all by this man...

I legit can’t stop thinking about it it’s so weird

I'm glad they showed his connection with the alphabet community.

The neighbor didnt even care that much

Emmy nominations for Evan Peters and the actress who played the next door neighbor. It was more than a resemblance for Peters. He jumped off the screen. Its easy to overplay a part with Dahmer's gravity but Peters portrayed the man's fractured vulnerability with a compelling accuracy. The writing was tight bringing to mind writer Abby Mann who treated subjects like that especially with the Teddy Harper character played by Marjoe Gordner in the film "The Marcus Nelson Murders" back in 73. Its the best Dahmer treatment so far.

I thoroughly enjoyed this show - Ryan Murphy productions are always top-notch. The cast was great - Evan Peters deserves an Emmy, and I like how it focused on the people around him as much as him; I never even considered what it must've been like to live next door to him. Niecey Nash illustrates that very well. I wouldn't have eaten that sandwich either...

I’m only on ep 3 but it’s been accurate so far it’s just not goin in chronological order it’s kinda bouncing around

This was the best I have ever seen when it comes to recreating tragedies like this, The victims actually have a name. The acting was on point, it was emotional, scary and entertaining. Very well done.

Actually the “Glenda Cleveland” parts aren’t that accurate. Yes she called the police on Dahmer and checked the status of the 14y/o boy but that’s about it. She wasn’t even the one who interacted with the police and Dahmer about him, It was her niece and daughter. She never lived next to Dahmer, she lived in another building. She was never offered a sandwich that was another lady down the hall(and a few others in his building 🤢) Her guilt of not being able to save that little boy(and stop Dahmer) is VERY REAL. And her efforts were still pretty heroic and I hope she is now resting peacefully. ❤

I wonder if the creators of shows like this think about the families of the victims and how triggering it can be or is it just for money?

With the exception of the Konerak incident, the Glenda Cleveland story is made up because she did not live in Dahmer's building

Crazy to thing this is the same kid who played the nerd in “never back down” lol much respect

Fact check my ass, Glenda was not his neighbour from across the hall. She lived in a different apartment block.

The show tries to humanise Dhamer. He is anything but human, shame on you netflix. Entertainment above morals

Glenda didn't live in the same building she lived in the next one over.

He did a fantastic job!!!!I'm from Milwaukee and remember it all.

Feel so sad with Tony Hughes😢😢😢

The show was surprisingly accurate but an interesting fabrication for the show was Glenda being Dahmer’s next door neighbor. In reality, she lived in another building.

Gonna be honest seen the Ted bundy tapes,John Wayne docs and even gore movies I could eat during all of them, but this, this is the only doc/series that made me lose my appetite

They did a great job, and all the actors did amazing

Also they combined 2 incidences together.

we must try and understand this killers so it won't happen again

What I hate is how much latitude in understanding people offer someone like Dahmer. It is always an illness, they could have been helped. However, people like his victims are never given such consideration. I agree about the assessment of Dahmer but I wish this level of empathy existed in general.

Bass was the neighbor. Her and others did eat the sandwiches. Cleveland lived elsewhere..Why was that done?

I tried to watch this but couldn't. Maybe I am too close to the story, maybe I have had enough of Dahmer.

The more important question is why would you make a movie about a serial killer......why immortalize them...

There was a lot more details that where changed like the way Tracy Edwardsgot away. Why change that? It made me wonder in the rest of the series what was true or fiction. That was a shame. The real story was "great" in it self, why change it?

It’s does not have to be exactly accurate to real life. The creators change little details on purpose so it appears more entertaining than rather just a criminal boring documentary which we all know about Dahmer. Thus it says in the beginning “based” on true horrific events.

I’d say the Netflix series was pretty accurate. Ryan Murphy did a good job with Dahmer’s mannerisms, body language and crimes.

its very accordant

You might want to include more inaccuracies than just two. The neighbor Glenda Cleveland wasn’t even his nextdoor neighbor. She didn’t even live inside the same apt building. She lived close by enough to hear the sounds

He put you in the seat of 1978-1994……and it was phenomenal Emmy worthy

I felt deeply for the victims. Those episodes focusing on them were heartbreaking and moving. I don't think anyone can sensationalize Dahmer's crimes. They were horrible enough. I also (not being American) had no idea about the police's indifference towards victims that were non-white and gay, and their dismissal of witnesses. As for the show, the acting was superb.

All i could picture was Cyr the Twitch Streamer.

My heart breaks for the families of these innocent victims. Completed the Netflix series. Evan Peters deserves an award. He's such a great actor. But I do hope he recovers mentally from playing such monster. Everyone did such an amazing job. My heart goes out to the families.

Derf made a comic and movie about Dahmer way before this Nerflix series was developed. Derf went to school and knew him in High School. The other movie Dahmer is based on the comic book My friend Dahmer. I hope he got credit for it as he's an unknown comic writer and draws some great satirical comics. I remember reading them online and in the paper back in the early 90s. This show is really disturbing especially how calm Dahmer seems at times. Its chilling seeing the perspective from his next door neighbor and spoiler it seemed like tried to poison her. If you like dark true stories its worth a watch.

Love the show

I love Molly Ringwald....I didn't recognize her in this

Evan nailed it ...

Halston was an excellent biopic, I really enjoyed it.

I know the family of the young Asian boy that got killed. They used to attend my dad's church. I am now a good friend of one of the cop's sister in-law (now ex-inlaw) and we are kind of fighting via text. After I saw the show and googled the last name, I checked with her if she knew the cop with the same last name as her ex-husband's. She said it was hard on their family when it happened. She's defending the ex-inlaw cop saying the media over sensationalized everything. She has no sympathy for the families nor the victims. So sad. It's so sad to watch the series but I grew up in the area and the movie was somewhat accurate. It's scary to learn how "gentle" he was. He got away with a lot (cops let him go even when he had a body in his car) because of how he looked and how "gentle" and calm he was. Creepy. Show less

Very.

It’s pretty accurate

Dramatized? They missed out loads of stuff that was more gruesome than the show.

Time to focus on someone different. Perhaps Dean Corll, the real Candyman

I started this show and i could barely see anything . Like literally! The fucking screen is dark af

The drinking from the bag is less of an embellishment or dramatization and more of a critical thought. Do we really believe this man only drank blood from a single vile…. I find it more believable that he did what he did in the show.

Creepy. Don't believe I'll be tuning anytime soon, if ever.

Given the real drama involved in this case, I am not surprised there needs no embellishment. How could you make this story any more dramatic anyway? Not sure there is a way to do that in this case.

I Finally watched the whole thing. I didnt really pay much attention or feel they were showing a Dahmer "soft side". I felt it they least gave of some back story of these Victims as there is really no Memorial for them. I was 12 when this happened and remember it slightly these days. I have had family murdered and sadly people have forgotten these people. Was it proper thing to do since other Dahmer shows out there NO...But these people have no plaque, memorial stone or nothing to remember them. IT was sad what happened but people want to shouldnt forget.

The thing about this show is that people aren't looking for accuracy in the person of who Dahmer was because this show wasn't truly about that. It was about being in the moment with the victims and the people still alive that had to deal with the repercussions of his actions. The injustice and inadequate police department that let him walk. Racism and everything above. That's what made this show so compelling. A long with the amazing acting and cinematography.

Just finished Netflix’s Dahmer and Evan Peters totally Nailed his portrayal of that Sicko! And Niecy Nash was really good init. They both should get awards there acting was great! #EvanPeters #NiecyNash #DahmerNetflix #jeffdahmer #jefferydahmer

The Konerak part is also inaccurate. Konerak was found by 2 or 3 women wandering around naked on the street (not on the apartment hall). Story about Konerak is more accurate in Dahmer (Jeremy Renner's version).

And the Emmy for Best Actor in a Limited Series of Movie made for TV goes to Evan Peters 👏 🏆

Evan Peters...🔥🔥🔥

I want to know if those police officers actually got awarded ‘officer of the year’ at that ceremony. (And the instance of those cops harassing the Asian man over the phone) When I saw that I thought “no way in hell they actually did that”, plus I heard some news clip from years after the fact that their negligence cost them their jobs. So by all means I’ll happily eat my words if it is true, BUT if that was something they just threw in to intentionally embellish how horrible and disgusting the police already were, I would find that disgusting as well because this is marketed as an accurate retelling of events. So if someone can actually confirm they didn’t make that part up I’d be very interested to know.

He stretched the truth in a few stories in the Dahmer case he told though

There’s a lot of little details that have been wrong. I’ve been shouting them at the TV as I see them. Completely normal, I know. Much of it is accurate. It is absolutely eerie how much Evan Peters nails it….from the spot on voice, the walk…right down to the mannerisms. It’s like the real Dahmer. Almost spooky.

Evan Peters was perfect for his part as Jeffery and these type of movies are exaggerated to get the attention of the audience and keep on the movie 🎥

His portrayal was accurate, amazing acting.

Story's like this makes me wish red hood was real ngl

Even Peters deserves all the kudos for portraying this sick individual, in the most believable way possible! I almost had to turn it off a couple times, but I couldn't!! The ending was a little sappy considering the deserved brutality of his own death....but Hollywood has a way of doing that. "Bless all the victims and their families"!

Facts: Tracy Edward's (Dahmer Survivor) isn't gay & Glenda Cleveland didnt live next door; she lived in the next building,

I loved it, but I wish they did more to teach out to the families to get everyone's blessing or change their identities if not ♥ ✌️

Jeffrey Dahmer Monster show is Lit AF 🔥, I also like Dahmer staring Jeremy Rener and, My Friend Dahmer filled in the actual real house 🏠 of Dahmer.

I also heard that Tony was a victim like any other one, Jeff met him and murdered him in the same night... If that's true...kinda effed up to portray their relationship like that. I really enjoyed tony's character and that whole arc. I didn't know if Jeff killed Tony beforehand so I was rooting for him not to give in to his impulses and let Tony go... Could somebody confirm this, please? I also seen Tracy testimony against Jeff and the show portrayed it kinda badly too...it wasn't as bad as Tony's depiction but Tracy said himself he wasn't gay, he was just really interested in the money. Which I think makes it more tragic.

There's a lot of inaccuracies lmao. He wasn't very regretful, Glenda wasn't his neighbor, cops were never called about the smell or noises, the first kill was more malicious in real life, and many more. Dahmer is not a case of institutional failure on the part of his upbringing - he was crazy from the start.

Was a good watch, the victim portrayals were solid and the dude played dahmer well but there were definitely inaccuracies and truth spreading way beyond what’s being stated here.

I doubt that a true gay man danced like Evan danced in the mini-series. That was a disgrace to Gene Anthony Ray. R.I.P.

I literally became nauseated watching the types of things this man would do! I had to skip so many of the scenes!! There will never be another serial killer documentary like this one this is a watch one time and never watch again type of documentary!!!

ngl. for like 15 years evan peters just does it for me. i'd worship his body everyday :*

actually i like this really much, the way they show a life of a man/young boy that has differents thougds than us, never forget that those people will always excist and you cant regonize them, whatever the way he killed his people is mor horror than i had ever seen
