You don’t really get into his situation
Plot
An anthology series about high-profile crimes or killers that captured the attention and notoriety of the public.. Evan Peters [Jeffrey Dahmer] says they had only one rule from Ryan Murphy [Creator] to follow until the series: that he did not will never tell from Dahmer’s Point of View. “As an audience, you don’t really feel it. Rather, you look at it, you know, from the outside.". In many episodes there is 3M Command(TM) tape displayed in the kitchen of Jeffery Dahmer’s apartment, which takes place no later than 1991. 3M released its first wave of Command(TM) products in 1996.
Featured in Jeremy Vine: Episode #5,195 (2022)
This is a mini series chronicling the horrific crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer. Evan Peters plays the lead very well. No popular stuff here, just plays Dahmer with complete conviction and seriousness. It effectively uses flashbacks from Dahmer’s childhood and adolescence to explain how he turned out the way he did. Richard Jenkins plays Dahmer’s father. He’s great as a man torn apart by years of unhappiness, culminating in the realization of what his son has become.
Love her in this role
Penelope Ann Miller is wonderful in her brief role as Dahmer’s unstable, UFO-chasing mother. Niecy Nash has a small role as Dahmer’s neighbor. Her scenes are some of the most terrifying and unsettling, not for what you see, but for the sounds she endured. The acting is pretty good overall. The actors playing his victims were perfect in conveying the terror. Shaun J.
Everything has a very dirty, dimly lit, foggy look
Brown plays Tracy Edwards, a victim, in the first episode. The scene had me on the edge of my seat. Without going into details, the scene mainly takes place in Dahmer’s apartment. You could almost imagine the "smell" of the scenes. Horrible as it sounds, it makes for effectively creepy viewing. Again, the subject is very dark and difficult to bear.
I felt that Evan Peters completely inhabited his role
The series takes viewers from Dahmer’s childhood to his trial and prison. It also left me with immense sadness for the families of the real-life victims, the survivors of his crimes, and the neighbors and others whose lives are marked by the actions of Dahmer the Monster.
