If you (like me) are a true crime fan, you know that a sinister gem recentlyappeared on Netflix. DAHMER – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story tells thestory of (you guessed it) Jeffrey Dahmer – who has 17 sickening murders to hisname.
I started this series yesterday and oh my, this is dark.
Everyone is talking about the Jeffrey Dahmer docuseries on Netflix
Last Wednesday, Netflix put the docuseries about Jeffrey Dahmer online, wherein ten episodes the story of Jeffrey Dahmer (better known as MilwaukeeMonster ) narrate. Dahmer gruesomely robbed 17 different men and boys between1978 and 1991 (realize how long he was allowed to do his own thing).
A fictionalized account of real events, the series also takes a critical lookat systematic racism, white privilege, homophobia and the institutionalfailure that allowed Dahmer to kill.
Jeffrey Dahmer: Drilling, Cannibalism and Hydrochloric Acid
If you’re not already familiar with Jeffrey Dahmer’s bizarre working method,hold on tight. Jeffrey has a whopping 17 victims to his name, most of whom areminors and POC. He killed these boys, sawed them to pieces and then kept themin his fridge or freezer, or dumped them in a barrel of hydrochloric acid.Later it turned out that he also ate parts of his victims.
Another thing Dahmer did: he drilled a small hole in the skull of his (stillliving) victim and poured in some hot water with hydrochloric acid. In thisway he “created” his own brain-dead sex slaves, after which the boys diedafter a few days. Too bizarre.
In 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer was arrested. You can see how that went in the firstepisode of DAHMER.

Back to the series (which quite graphically depicts Dahmer’s murders) that haseveryone captivated. And besides the events being sickening, the A-classproduction (the series is directed by Emmy winner Ryan Murphy) and cast alsoensures that the series is a hit. Not even a week later, the series is alreadynumber 1 in trending on Netflix.
The cast and production
Jeffrey Dahmer is played by Evan Peters, who we know from American HorrorStory. And the scary thing is, Evan looks a lot like the real Dahmer. We alsosee Richard Jenkins, Niecy Nash, Molly Ringwald and Penelope Ann Miller.
And not to forget: credits to the setdresser of this series. The internet wentwild about the similarities between the series and Jeffrey Dahmer’s realapartment, these are identical.
