Go watch the movie "My Friend Dahmer." I think the movie was based on a graphic novel. It's told from the point of view of a friend from Dahmer's childhood who knew him up until his first kill. It doesn't have the extremely dark scenes in it, but that wasn't the point of the film. It simply showed why Dahmer became who he is.

Like Dawn I watched this primarily to see how Evan Peters portrayed Dahmer, he's SO underated as an actor, and I wasn't disapointed, but then the whole cast were outstanding too. I know the Dhamer story backwards, and while the show left out a lot of the graphic images that it could have gone into, it more than made up for that with it's raw emotion. 10/10

If you watch the jeffrey dahmer trial you'll see that the part about his grandma watching over ronald flowers is not accurate. I was disappointed they changed part of the story. The true story was actually even more horrific. Ronald Flowers testimony in court was jaw dropping! I don't know why they didn't put it in the movie.

It’s taken me all week to watch this show and I’m not done yet. It’s more horrific than I imagined. Seeing how easy it is to drug someone and kill them is really scary for anyone.

@@LCx829 I struggled to finish the Netflix series. I had nightmares! I finally finished it and Im doing research now and I'm realizing the real life true story is even worse than the Netflix series!

Agreed! I grew up with a deep interest and live of true crime. I knew of his story, but I didn’t know the depths until this show. For every documentary and Id channel special, I’ve never seen something so haunting. This portrayal really sits with you. It’s a testament to the dedication to retelling this horrific story. The writing, acting, all across the board was deeply unsettling.

I love true crime as well and generally a picky viewer. Yes, this series is on another level. Evan Peters and the whole cast are excellent.

Same Here. By far my favorite serial killer biopic to date. Extremely well done and the performances were perfect. I believed every single one of them. And if it hasn't been said enough Evan Peters was outstanding everyone was

Same here! I was literally thinking of Chernobyl as well, these are the only shows where i had to pause the episodes and take a break, very disturbing stuff

Too much for you? Were you wearing your big boy pants?

Yeah he delivered a real convincing performance. So creepy!

👏👏👏

Yes he was very convincing as JD.

So does Richard Jenkins.

Him, Richard Jenkins and Niecy Nash...

Agree. I'm watching it now so sad 😞.

And the realization that it was his head in the fridge in the first episode

​@@arnoldjohn8755 Noooo I didn't realize that

@@arnoldjohn8755 omg!! I didn’t see that 😢

@@arnoldjohn8755 omg!! I didn’t catch that. Tony's episode was probably the saddest. I felt so bad knowing it wasn’t a happy ending. 😢

Exactly. The whole situation is just unfortunate

@Brah yeah, true. You get absorbed in the show and almost forget it's a very true story.

I feel bad for him because something made him that way something that he had no control of but as the person you control your actions

Well people aren't born evil. They're made that way.. from other people that are evil.

Dude for FUCKIN real…I couldn’t imagine

It's called 'acting'.....why would he need therapy?.. he never committed the acts, he merely acted....

@@lynnecartwright3976 but he put himself into Jeff dahmers shoes…method actors get so into their roles that it can put them into a very dark place…it’s happened with many actors. Evan peters already went through therapy because of his American horror story roles…so try again

@@lynnecartwright3976 actors are nothing but humans..just because they are “acting” doesn’t mean it can’t affect them

@@lynnecartwright3976 I don't mean to sound harsh, but that is a seriously ignorant statement, not just uninformed, but very limited emotional intelligence wise. I'm sorry but I just had to say it. It can mess up with you to channel someone like that for as long has he had to do it. Actors do need coping mechanisms, and portraying certain roles can indeed leave a huge toll. Every single one of them has to have a shrink. They wouldn't be able to do it otherwise. I'm only speaking common sense and common knowledge.

Yeah! Evan imitated so well the voice, accent and manner of speaking of Dahmer. The resemblance is uncanny…

Agree . The acting was damn near perfect

Not at all on the physical end, at all, he wasn't nearly as attractive or physically imposing, Dahmer was 6'2" with broad shoulders, evan is around 5'9"ish, so that aspect hurt the performance a little, but he ABSOLUTELY nailed the voice, accent, and mannerisms, so naturally.

@@submissivelover I think the directors purposely did that not to glamorize or fetishize him out of respect for the families . This happened in the 90s so all his Victims fsmilies are still around .

@@isavedharlem2079 idk if it glamorizes or bring home the sentiment that Monsters can come in very attractive packages too....and on a strictly acting/film level, it helps those scenes if the actor has the same vibe as the one he's portraying, which is a tall, goodlooking blonde man sitting at a bar, taking whomever picks him....Like Jack Reacher ( i know, out of left field) but it's the same, Tom Cruise didn't translate the imposing massive stature of the character, that played a huge rule in his social interactions, Alan Ritchson does because he's, like the character, 6'3" 250lb behemoth. part of Jeffery was that, it helps to be the things Jeffery was, so you could possibly feel the way the victims felt, that this conventionally stunning, tall man could have gotten YOU, which is horrifying I don't think he was glorified, they portrayed him as he was, a complete fuc up, total drunkard who couldn't do anything right, a loser, straight up.

Likewise. They let us know how real a human Tony was. I’ve never seen so much respect paid to victims in true crime series before. And that last episode, that day when Dahmer was baptized, Gacy executed, and a solar eclipse took place, really happened! I think that was some real hand of God type stuff.

@@themisterg. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I dont think people are trying to excuse his actions because his actions were morbid, horrible and inexcusable, I think people are just trying to understand and make sense on where the turning point happened cuz Dahmer himself has stated he doesn't know what the turning point is and says he believes he was just born that way, unlike other notorious serial killers he wasn't in denial or denied his actions he took all accountability and made no excuses, it seemed like he wanted to tell his father some of the things he done but he didn't want to hear it maybe deep down in those scenes before it all came out the father knew something really bad has happened and didn't want to hear it and accept it, he knew something was off and wrong but didn't want to hear how off and wrong. So between the "science experiments" his abandonment issues Hence he wanted them to stay with them, to not being heard when wanting to speak out about something is wrong with him and not having a voice to speak with ears he supposed to trust and a few other red flag moments that he was seeking for help to release himself of it he left to bottle and hide it. Who knows maybe many of the other victims would still be alive whether Dahmer spends his life earlier in prison from the killing that already happened at that point or in a mental hospital.

​@@iprodigy6723 While you are right. Some people do empathise with Dahmer and excuse his actions

@@priyankarchakraborty3874 I get that and I'm sure some people do. The deeper dive into the series it gives you feelings of being able to emphasize with everyone affected from a young Dahmer before the killings and make you wonder what the trigger was, was he born that way? Was it the dissecting of the animals mixed with being abandoned and pawned off Here and there? When trying to talk about his feelings and what's going on and not knowing how to deal with it? Or a mixture of all of it. Makes you feel for the dad cuz he seemed to care about his son more than the mother but you really only see that side of the story, but the dad when trying to help when he goes to jail from the first kid who got away writes a letter but never followed up just hoped they would do it and moved on, and when it never happened he knew something else could go wrong. Then you also have feeling for what the people felt and what was going through their minds and the families on the pain they felt not knowing what has happened to their child, brothers, their friend. Then when he gets caught and hearing of body after body being found then the news when the police come to deliver the news. It's very sad all the way around that whether they would have taken the dad's letter to heart to see what's wrong and help him but that was a different time that I don't think mental health was looked into and nearly as big of a concern as today so they brushed it to the side all the way to law enforcements incompetence, that there could have been much less victims.

I wish this was just another fictional series that is not a big deal to be sad but it's a true story. No good mother deserves that. 😢

How about that episode when he offered his neighbor a sandwich 😮

@@chantellchikova2256 that actually happened , not to Glenda tho. Another neighbor said she got offered meat from him and it might have been human remains that she consumed.

One of my favorite scenes of the show was at Tony’s funeral when Jeff was going to approach his mother but then he friend hugged her which insinuated Jeff somewhat felt for her but knew he’d be caught by the friend who had seen him with Tony last. The acting and small nuisances in that scene, were done beautifully

I really like Tony, he seemed like a great, I'm not gay but I can see why someone would like him. It was so hard to watch I had to stop.

I am not sure how I feel about this series yet but you said that you don't think the show glorifies Dahmer. Can I ask what would glorifying look like to you? I'm curious to hear your perspective because it seems like what constitutes as "glorifying" can be a little unclear.

@@PorterNetwork I think by showing the victim's and families' perspectives you can't help but to think of all the pain he caused. Despite that he also struggled, there is no excuse for his behavior and the abuse he inflicted on his victims. I don't know if I explained myself... It's more or less what happens with Joker. Yes, he suffered (in this horrible world, who doesn't?), but that doesn't mean or give you permission or make it OK for you to hurt others. If you have a heart, watching what all the people surrounding the case go through what they went through, you won't give Jeffrey a pass or condone his actions.

Im confused why people say it’s difficult to watch? Seemed like a regular show to me

I also love Penelope as Joyce, shes a breathe of air and a scene stealer at the same time, i laugh on her scenes by her mannerisms as a relapse and trauma survivor - great job Ryan Murphy!

I can’t watch back to back episodes. It’s too much. That creepy psychedelic music 😩

I loved this show but Glenda wasn't actually his neighbor, she lived in the building across from his complex. Pamela Bass was his real neighbor. The show combined the two

@@devin1442 then why was the other not mentioned??

@@vice2versa glenda wasn’t one of the ladies who saw the asian boy on the street either it was other teenage girls that called the cops

@@vice2versa nor did jeffrey dahmer force anyone to eat his free food/sandwiches … and they probably didn’t mention the actual neighbor bc maybe she doesn’t want to be known as dahmers neighbor or associated with him at all

Exactly. That's what made this show so real. Is because we've seen it in interviews. Courtrooms. Documentaries. When you grow up watching it presented in that fashion. We as the viewer are now naturally far removed from the seriousness of the crimes and the nature of it all. But this show puts us in the room with everyone that had been touched by the case. To see his parents pointing the finger at each other while privately blaming themselves was tearful. Seeing the victims with real lives, families, hopes and dreams and it all coming to a stop made me scream at the television. I caught myself pleading for their lives even when I knew how it would end. Other true crime stories aren't told like this.

His confession of guilt just before Dahmer is taken to prison is heartwrenching

@@Reb3nga I've learned that he possibly sexually abused him. Not good. JD did tell this to a psychiatrist. Maybe that's why he felt so guilty. He was certainly let down by both parents. Neglected and rejected

Indeed, Richard Jenkins play struck me the most, such a great performance! He and Evan should be receiving a lot of nominations.

@@vanessas2363 That would make it even more tragic. This story has no winners, everyone lost. The victims, Dahmer, all the family members and friends.

@@vanessas2363 that was in the tv series too. But looking at how Dahmer was shameless, open about his life, wouldn't he have told? His father said Jeffrey was abused by a neighborhood kid at age 8. Dahmer said he felt guilt about being gay to his psychiatrist. So many stories. He was messed up, thats for sure.

Same. I was more comfortable watching the rest realising that one victim survived and the mofo was caught.

You really had to pause it and get "fresh air"???

@@RegulaRegz732 I also had to step away for a few minutes after those photos were shown. Didn't help that I was also under the influence lol 🍄

Wow you guys are 🐱’s

I was crying as a man with the victims in movie. Jeffery didn't seem to notice how he was hurting families but it's done without hate so it's just sad no closure just broken families. Even his mom tried sucide

I hope he is taking care of his mental health. I saw an interview where he is discussing how he prepared for the role and it was pretty tough.

@Dee They tend to do that a lot. Last King of Scotland made a up a white protagonist character entirely to be the vehicle to Idi Amin's life.

Totally agree with you on that!

Yes the PTSD of his neighbors was so hard to watch and imagine…the scene where they have to sleep in the lobby of the building because they just couldn’t sleep in their own beds was heartbreaking

Absolutely, it's educational and learning about people like this is important. It will educate people about what kind of people are out there. It's important to be vigilant. I wouldn't say it's exploitative if it has educational value.

@@almasakic1148 I also think showcasing the dangers of meeting people at clubs was something that was very important to the story as well. Learning about the red flags of people that you meet could help save someone’s life. I was so scared watching these men being lured into his apartment.

yes! it was so well made. top notch cast and crew honestly.

The music and the ambience was something so different and it made it much creepier! I remember at one point pausing the show because there was a banging every now and again through one scene and I legit thought it was in the house but it was the music on the show. Very trippy, that and Evan Peters was outstanding and not enough credit is given to Richard Jenkins that man is superb!

What did he play jim jones on?

@@AfiOye American horror story

@@AfiOye American horror story season 7 cult. He played a few infamous cult leaders.

I'm not familiar with this actor, but does he do any comedy?? It can't be good for his psyche to constantly play disturbing characters

@@rucianapollard4057 he was in a x man movie but he's better known for his acting on American horror story and almost all of his characters on that show were very dark.

Me too, I felt gross for empathising with him but if the entire depiction is accurate then this is what got me, I couldn't organise my thoughts so have fun; 1. The mother taking mass pills during pregnancy, but mainly what the father said about the surgery at 4yo, if true it's like it put him on the spectrum, which ruined his social skills, leading to the isolation and alcoholism which exacerbated each other. 2. The isolation and alcohol addiction warped his already damaged mind, if you've drank long term and then quit you know how this works. 3. The sexual attraction to viscera and whatnot is a known condition, but how many of those people dissect roadkill with their father? Also the timing of it all, he's been drinking for a few years, having dark thoughts, dissecting road kill, then the drinking gets worse right when school ended, his parents leave, he starts fantasising about the hitchhiker and the booze makes you indulge in those type of thoughts, especially if you're constantly alone, not to mention how impulsive, reckless and confident alcohol makes you, so he pulls the stunt but ends up hanging out with Steven anyway, and 'accidentally' kills him, and having the knowledge, manages to dispose of the body, and realising in the process what he was capable of, that it got him what he wanted and how easy it was. I also began theorising that the autistic traits he had could've been big factors in why he couldn't stop himself, and how he was treating them like objects rather than people, which is actually similar to a porn addiction, going back to the obsessive nature of Jeff himself. In summary, it made me realise he was possibly just a slightly damaged person that received the perfect cocktail of life experiences that shaped him into something horrific. The show could be quite misleading though.

That's the worst about Dahmer. You watch his real life interviews and end up feeling sorry for him. It's the only serial killer I've felt that for. And it's so weird and awful to find human sympathy for someone so inhuman. It's easy to hate Ted Bundy, who was so arrogant. But Dahmer projects a feeling of horrific and absolute loneliness, like the Frankenstein monster. Like maybe he's also a victim. He makes me question everything I believe about the nature of evil.

@@rociomiranda5684 I think that feel empathy for someone like Dahmer only shows that you have a good heart, after all he was human too, his psychiatrist said that he was sad when he heard Dahmer was murdered, I think we never truly understand his mind and why he committed those atrocities, my heart feels more for the victims and their families.

@@rociomiranda5684 I guess what makes people sympathize with him is that he did try to control his urges, fantasies for some years but he didn’t receive psychological help he needed and that’s why things went south his killings could have been prevented if only he was able to process his fantasies with a professional and to heal his feeling of lack of control and adandonment issues

Dr. Park Dietz did an amazing analysis of Jeffrey dahmer.

I was hoping Dahmer wouldn't kill him.

That particular episode is going to win a lot of Emmy awards!

@@LittleImpaler crazy thing is dahmer didn’t want to kill him but it’s like he couldn’t control it

I felt the same I was hoping damher wouldn’t kill him and I got kinda excited when I saw that he was able to have somewhat of a romantic relationship but at the same it was so uncomfortable seeing the psychological battle within damher and how his demons took over.

I know same here. Even though I knew what would eventually happen, I still kept hoping he'd be okay and Dahmer would change his ways for good. It made me forget that I was watching a series about a serial killer/cannibal whenever him and Tony interacted.

Yeah, I think CODIS began as a pilot in 1990 and formalized in 1994. Just think, CODIS could've helped a lot back then.

DNA testing in criminal cases actually did exist by then, it started being used in 1986. I'm not sure when online criminal databases were created, but they definitely existed by the early 90s, too.

@@ember-brandt yeah only finger print DNA not skin hair fibers or fluid traces.

They told Glendas part well but she did not live in the building.

That’s true. She was a composite character. Her daughter and niece found Konerak naked and bleeding and called 911. Neicy Nash displayed her dramatic skills in a huge way and rocked it! I’ve only ever seen her in that comedy Reno 911 . This is the first meaty role I’ve ever seen her in…so to speak.

Glenda wasn't his neighbour. She lived in a different apartment block She wasn't there when the police were called about the 14 Yr old boy either. It was her nieces The show has a number of inaccurate things

@Dee yes everyone reported the smell but noone complained about him persay bc they thought he was quiet and a bit odd, but no one thought bad of him. Pamela Bass actually talked to him fairly often and never saw anything foreboding.

@@vonniedemers5683 she also the one who ate the sandwich. That she said might have been human remains.

@@EliTheRula no shit...

Police incompetence is the hardest part to watch in all true crimes series for me personally

I liked the insight and how it didn’t glorify his actions and stayed true to it, but in a weird way there may have been nothin to really do to change him. Was it the upbringing, the use of drugs by his mother when she was pregnant or was it just how he was born. It’s the kinda question that was said at the end that puts we may never truly know why him or people like him do things like this . Maybe it was a mix of his upbringing and the drug use by his mother while she was pregnant or maybe it was just who he was

@@wa_demon__9156 Monsters are often made. Even if the propensities are in the DNA.

I enjoy the show- The acting, pacing, directing, soundtrack, ambience and vibe/production is all on point. Bravo. However my issue with the series is how they portray nearly every white person (cops, judges, Jeffery, his dad, his mom, victims, bullies) as racist/prejudiced, mean, angry, confused, insane, anxious etc.... while nearly every black person (victims, family, neighbors, bystanders) are portrayed as confident, collected, friendly, loving, clear-headed, etc.... Obviously its mostly based on facts and events..... but it feels like they reallllllllly tried to squeeze the wokeness out of this by centering it around black/gay victimhood and tried to use Jefferey himself as the "white boogie man"..... Even the more neutral characters (lacking obvious bad traits) are eventually portrayed as bad like his grandma portrayed as a prejudiced Christian lady.... I thought just maybe 1 white character could lack a terrible trait..... but nope they try to piss on everyone.... except every black character which is portrayed with nearly ZERO bad traits besides being too nice and trusting. If realism is what they were after, they did a bad job because not every white person is bad, and not every black person is good. Can we have some realistic characters? They were beating a dead horse with the amount of times they try to convey the idea that white people are prejudice...... its not true and that idea is RACIST in itself I do feel bad for the good black people that experienced racism.. but I ALSO FEEL BAD FOR THE WHITE/ASIAN/INDIAN/LATINO/BLACK VICTIMS of black gangs that rob and murder people They make it seem like a crime to acknowledge the fact that many cities are unsafe MOSTLY because of black criminal gangs.... saying that doesn't mean you are racist It just means you realize the reality of the space around you... however I do agree OBVIOUSLY that we should treat individuals with respect.... I have many black friends and they all agree with me, this show REALLY tries to make each and every white character "bad" in some way.... its propaganda straight up. I am Mexican and the anti-white bias is obvious.

@@tremblence I agree. I don’t understand why that point isn’t obvious to everyone. How can they think that everyone of a specific race is all good or all bad? People come in all kinds. But Hollywood is doing this a lot because lately white hate is very popular and people take a lot of comfort in blaming everything on white people and taking out their anger for their own life on them. Is only gonna create more culture tension and therefore perpetuate the problem. But if you point this out they call you racist because you’re no irrational and can understand that all cultures have had a bad past and some terrible things and we can’t punish the great great great great grandchildren of people who wronged your ancestors in the past. If this was so the Jews would still be trying to get revenge on the German and stuff like that. This is why wars continue and why humanity will never have peace. People want revenge instead of studying the history, learning it, understanding it was terrible and shameful, yet never repeating it again. It’s scary it almost feels like the supremacy will soon shift and the race war will never end. Most of us also come from ancestors who were enslaved, and raped, stripped of their lands, and tortured, but we just want peace.

It was something different. Ive not seen anything like that in such a long time!

@@BrainPilot I’m gonna be honest with you when I first saw the show the first episode I had no idea it was the guy that survived Jeffrey Dahmer so I didn’t recognize his name so I had no idea that he was gonna survive because I was scared for him I was questioning Rather he was going to survive or not so I was kinda surprise at the end when I found out it was the guy that survived Jeffrey Dahmer so they kinda did a good job at surprising me

Filmmakers can't win. Either they show too much (which is just the truth) and it's exploitative or they don't show enough which people see as glorifying the killer. I think this series straddles this line pretty well.

I agree! There is literally only 3 people mad about it, and the others just do not like gore. The fact that is is "hard to watch" just proves how good it is. It should not be an easy thing to watch. Its one of the worst things that someone has done in recent history.

So haunting

Episode 8 with the girl yelling in the courtroom, was phenomenal acting!

It was. I've seen different movies and they aren't as good as this. I think making it a series was a good idea because we saw all the details of his crimes and how it affected his family, victims, families and the community.

I’d argue racism but homophobia and sexism?

@@JB-pp1kt A lot of his victims died because they were gay and either didnt have family or the police didnt give a fuck because they were gay or black.

There was no racism, or homophbia, or sexism. People need to stop using these words out of content. Back then people knew about homosexuality, and didn't care. They had gay clubs, bathhouses back then. The thing with the cops wasn't racism. It had to do with incompetent, lazy cops. It isn't like today people constantly shoving their sexuality in your face and yelling treat me special because I am black, gay, trans, or whatever. Were there hate crimes back then yes. There's still hate crimes today. The problem was with Dahmer. He had nobody to talk too. His parents weren't in his life so he didn't learn to have healthy attachment with them. He had major abandment issue. If he had someone to talk too he would have been a different person.

The cops were homophobic and chose not to investigate further because they were grossed out by "gay stuff". Dahmer's family didn't seem super open about it either

Of course because what Netflix show can’t persuade people that every horrible action is somehow related to racism and sexism?

You have probably a different year, month, time of birth and life experience that makes a huge impact.

Did Jeff ever eat anyone on his birthday?

@@michele110 yes definitely. In 78 but it is the year he started killing. But you are right my life is very different from his. I grew up in a good home and I wouldn't fathom doing what he did. I don't even like to kill bugs

And this prick was doing all type of sick shyt and wasn't going to jail for it, the drugging people at the bathhouses should've put him in jail.

I think the most gutwrenching part was when jeff called tonys sister and said "the vortex got him" its important to not show tony get murdered directly because the entire episode we feel connection and trust from tony, then nothing. It leaves our imagination to handle the rest. Truly a horrific tradgedy and an amazing show for not glorifying a killer, but showing just how terrible their actions were.

Yea this was enough for me…that little section featuring Gacy solidified that for me…I know that others might enjoy a series and I think they that they would do a decent job considering what they did with this story but I just can’t take it

@@HerbalQueen same it would be too much to handle for me aswell

Throw in Ted Bundy and Henry Lee Lucas

Err... I don't think so. I seriously think this one Monster series is enough. I suppose Dahmer was chosen as subject matter because his criminal behaviour is not exactly psychopathic. Which can be rather baffling to quite a number of criminologists.

i think that may actually be the plan, because on the last episode they had segments showing good lookalike actors playing john wayne gacy and ed gein, so maybe they are a teaser of what is going to be made next

Totally agree!

Which respect to the families. But this story's already been told. Time and time and time again. Just not as in depth from their side. I did not know dahmer grew up in bath, & youngest victim was lao.

Glad you enjoyed the video!
