An anthology series about high-profile crimes or murders that have caught the public’s attention and become famous. Evan Peters [Jeffrey Dahmer] says they had a rule, dictated by [creator] Ryan Murphy, starting with the series: It would never be told from Dahmer’s point of view. “As a viewer, you don’t really sympathize with him.
You prefer to watch it, you know, from the side.” The 3M Command™ strip is shown in the kitchen of Jeffrey Dahmer’s apartment in several episodes, the last of which takes place in 1991. 3M released its first wave of Command™ products in 1996. Evan Peters seriously outdid his work here.
His acting was top notch and his portrayal of Dahmer, from his clothes to his expressions, was perfect, perfect down to the last detail. And besides him, the acting of the other cast members (his father, mother, grandmother, Glenda Cleveland and the victims) was also great. The script and writing were also decent, especially since they didn’t take too many creative liberties and thus, the story felt close to the real events.
The only thing I found a bit disappointing was the length. The pacing was a bit slow, especially in the last episodes, and I think the series could have easily been split into 8 episodes instead of 10. Especially for those who are interested in the thriller genre.
This is a realistic look at one of the most notorious serial killers in our history, where they didn’t romanticize him and in fact, set those who were inclined to do so free.
