Tony Hughes was the saddest portrayal. They done so much more than just show him being killed. The fact that they showed that much of his life growing up and his ambitions, with his mother struggling, made it just so much sadder.
I kept hoping he wouldn’t get killed even though I already knew he was on the official victims list. He was a beautifully portrayed character and it was devastating seeing him go like that.
@@jcepri They said it's creepy and the way they shown it in the series is actually one of the most chilling for me like wth what a terrifying connection
Good casting option to. He looked a lot like Lionel. The guy playing Jeff had the part down pretty good as well. Especially his speech pattern. When he talked Jeffery had sort of a way to it, and I feel he captured that really well.
I cried when the families were told about the death of their missing family member. Also the statement of the families. The poem from Anthony’s mom got me balling my eyes out.
I don’t see anyone talking about the fact that Glenda went through so much, sleeping every single night smelling that smell, and hearing screams at night and trying to call for the police for help and they ignored her and she was so unheard, that poor lady went through so much
Everything I’ve seen him in has been TV shows, mostly American Horror Story and now Dahmer which is basically a true American Horror Story. He is a great actor but he needs to get a part in a major movie production to really get noticed. Preferably not a horror movie or else he’s going to get type casted.
Maybe, but his "Jeffrey" have nothing to do with real Jeff Dahmer. In a film you see always sweating guy trying to be metrosexual, and very aggressiv. Jeff is something else.
@@starlabratcherflannigan1798 Girl stfu! Everyone in the comments is praising Evan Peters. Let the other actors have their moment as well! You must be a BIG fan of Dahmer🙄
Episode 6, the story of Tony Hughes is worth watching. This episode really hurts hearts. It's about a bright, hearing impaired man who is just looking for love and acceptance in a world that keeps on rejecting him. You see how life is like for Tony from his perspective where there is no sound. This is an episode that will make you cry, won't leave you and you keep on thinking about it.
I'm not going to lie, that episode really broke me. I've just finished the series and I still can't get over all of it. Like I want a form of closure I'll never find. Horrific story.
The Tony Hudges episode had me in tears and the part when sinthasomphone mother was cutting her son out of photos broke my heart. I really want that park built to remember all the victims. Remember the victims not the murderer
Nah jeff deserves one too he was human like the rest of us yes he was a serial killer buh hes human he deserves a memorial like other serial killers thats gotten them
No he shouldn't. He should get some acknowledgement that can help his agents get more jobs for him, but an award for playing a serial killer shouldn't be an option. That's a slap in the face to the victims and families.
@@jaylabell2886 Snow flake. He did very good acting he does need an award. Reminded me a lot of mindhunters with the guy who played Edmond kemper. This was a solid show
I understand why some of the family members are upset but this show gave the victims their names and a story they weren't just dahmer's victim they were men who had family and a life. The show also pointed out how the police and justice system failed to stop him multiple times just because they were racist and homophobic.
True, in the long run the show will do justice to victims and their families. But I can't imaging the pain they go through every time this story becomes "trending" and reopens their wounds over and over again...
Well let’s see, they didn’t let the families know before making it, they have literally told this sicko story in over 20 movies, shows, and documentaries. When is enough enough? If people want to learn, there is a thing called Google, don’t need to keep making the family of these poor innocent people, whom this sicko dismembered and ate, relive it over and over. Just stop, y’all are sick
Exactly. They act like this is the first ever dramatization ever created? Crimes are bound to be documented. The only thing I don’t agree with is the families not getting some form of compensation.
That's the terrifying part huh? It was a 50/50 chance thank GOD fate was on the victims side that day, cause those damn cops had no common sense that or they just didn't give a fuck..
@@VAL0VE man it was completely different times unfortunantley majority of the cops back in those days wouldve done the same thing racism and homophobia were quite big ordeals in those times
@@meganhughes4726 I remember when I first saw a doc on him in like 2012 or so a cop found a head in the fridge. Was a bit shock when I saw that and then the horrific crime scene started to pop back in my head from that documentary. Just that big blood stain alone would have been enough for me to start searching around if I was a cop.
The most amazingly well done part of the series was the Tony Hughes episode. Most shows like this are hyper focused on the killer with the victims getting little screen time beyond being killed - but Ryan made the audience spend a solid twenty minutes getting to know Tony, his family, his struggles and his dreams, everything that Dahmer took from his victims. It was powerful.
I was hoping he would be the one to change dahmer’s trust issues and just get a good life together. Really showed some serious separation anxiety issues there whether that’s accurate or not
@@josecat436 oh definitely accurate. His interview with stone Phillips made that pretty clear. He even admits it wasn't even about the killing, it was about keeping them with him. Dudes ability to give and receive love was completely pretzeled.
I’m of two minds about this series. On one hand I didn’t need to see another Jeffery Dahmer/serial killer story. On the other hand, this is definitely the best adaptation and retelling of the Jeffery Dahmer story.
I'm conflicted, too. This is by far the best Ryan Murphy True Crime Drama I've seen. OJ was cheesy and had an unnecessary reference to the Kardashian daughters. The Versace one had a heart throb as Andrew Cunanan, which was too glamorizing. Saying this is the most engaging and accurate of the three still isn't saying much
@@AnDr3w066 Jesse Jackson showing up was true, though. But some people perceived him as one more person exploiting the situation. Plus, dozens of people were showing up to have their pictures taken at the Oxford Apartments, not just a couple of belligerent teenagers.
I feel deeply sorry for the families of the victims. Evan Peters and Richard were so great. That Son and Father scene in episode 8, when Lionel says "I'm not a good father! I shouldn't have left you alone!" brought tears to my eyes. :(
People always forget about the parents in situations like this - the pain of finding out your own blood is evil incarnate - it'd be a very hard thing to live with.
@@trav7917 How??? Why come to conclusions so soon? They’re literally talking about how the acting is so good you literally can’t tell the difference between the show and real court case clip.
I got chills when he insisted that Glenda eat the sandwich he made for her. I wasn't sure if it was because it had human meat in it or it was drugged, since he wanted to get rid of her for the eviction (could be both I suppose). The way he was getting aggressive until her daughter showed up made every hair on my body stand up 😳 Edit- it doesn't matter if the scene was fake or not. It was still chilling. A scene can be scary and still be fiction.
@@gilbertrodriguez9242 I thought it was due to human meat at first but notice he asks her if she's alone in the apartment or if her daughter is home. I figured he was going to make her disappear
imagine dahmer asking you to go to his place with him, you rejected or something and then later you see him on the news for killing people, all those people must've been so shocked and realized how damn lucky they were. it's chilling af.
Everything he touches turns to magic. He's just absolutely fantastic in everything and I'm all for it. Dude is one of the greats. To see him and Anton Yelchin together would have been something
What other serial killers has he played? I know he was a school shooter in one thing and friend to a “super” hero in another. Even had an office job until he got spanked at one point. But I’ve never seen him as a serial killer before.
@@dlmbs It is not. He played a fictional serial killer in American Horror Story Season 5, as well as a real one (Charles Manson - though is he really considered a serial killer?) and cult leader (David Koresh) in American Horror Story Season 8 (he had to take a hiatus after that one because of how mentally exhausted he was)
That’s one of the things that broke my heart when I heard of Dahmer a long time ago . When the police let his take that poor minor back into his place … poor kid man .. he actually escaped and then they brought him back ..
Tony Hughes and the 14 year old boy that should have been saved hit me the hardest when they passed cuz of the depth they put in when Tony was introduced. Them two cops made my stomach and head hurt along with Dahmer. Just pure evil.
One of those cops is the current police chief of a town still btw... He never got so much as reprimanded and lives a happy life still like nothing happened. How he dodged a negligence charge is beyond me.
He was drilled in his brain and had hydrochloric acid poured in the hole. I don't think there was any saving him, unfortunately. But they could have stopped his killer.
I also was afraid to watch it but I did because I was too curious. The first and second episode were kinda disturbing and the scariest for me but after it shows more of his childhood and then the victims pov and it gets less and less scary (overall it wasn't as scary as I thought). It was very informative and eye opening and I enjoyed it
It’s actually not scary. It’s sick because you know that all of this in fact happened. They also don’t show too much of actual killing or blood. To be honest: I cried in the episode where he killed the 14 year old.
@Littenz that’s what I thought too. But the families are complaining anyways cause they don’t get any money from the show. They say the show is disrespectful but i honestly think it’s a good thing to make sure the victims won’t be forgotten. Because to be honest I’ve never heard any of their names before. But I heard the name Jeffrey Dahmer. Which is wrong. The victims should be known. But just my opinion on this
Totally agree. The only bad part was why the writers felt such a need to make Glenda one of the biggest story lines. She didn't even really live at the apartments, never even saw the boy herself, etc... They spent more time making her a victim over the actual victims / victims families in this story,
Is it very indeed creepy. I came downstairs and sat with my mom watching it but after 1 episode i just couldn’t see anymore, and jeffreys god awful voice is so annoying. The actors were really amazing though ❤️
Yess in 2017 when the movie “my friend dahmer” came out, I remember thinking that the perfect person to portray dahmer would be Evan Peters. He always does PHENOMENAL in American horror story and did AMAZING in this show. It’s so interesting and creepy.
the most part that pissed me off in the whole show is the fact that he got fan mail when he was in prison... Like what even is that how can you possibly be a fan of a serial killer? surely you might find him interesting but a FAN? thats just sick, and they were too many its just disgusting to imagine how the families felt back then, the killer is being glorified!
I just finished watching the series and i found it very disturbing, but yet very well written and portrayed by the young cast, especially Evan Peters. My heart goes out to all the victims, may they rest in peace.
Idk how you managed to watch it. I couldn't and I watch true crime docs he is one serial killer that is just so grotesque I can't even watch him on the screen without utter disgust
Ever since I heard about the Dahmer story the part that always gets me heated is the cops letting him take that young boy back to his apartment even though those women were strongly protesting. I don't think they should have been reinstated. That's one that could have been stopped.
well the "women" were actually teenage girls. So I think the cops believed an adult male over two teenage girls. Glenda as depicted on the show was not there in real life and did not protest the cops.
One of my friends did a research paper on Jeffrey Dahmer for his criminology class. He got an A, but he said he had a hard time sleeping after reading all about what Dahmer did
@@BigFella117 its really good but it depends if you have a strong stomach and mind cuz it's pretty graphic. That first episode tho give alot of suspense tension and anxiety tho.
One detail the series did get correct is Dahmer really did call many of his victim's family members and told them to stop searching for them because they were dead, thinking it would give them a sense of closure.
I knew his name with being a high serial killer but holy crap watching this series really upset me because the system failed the victims and ignored complaints and I really didn’t know everything that happened and the backstory and I feel like certain serial killers get talked about ALOT because we try to figure out what and why would they do that.. but prayers to the family because trauma will forever be with u..
That is what really hurt me. That white privilege, the racist stereotypes, that blind omission, cops not being held accountable, the city government not being g held accountable, the homophobic remarks and careless disregard when people called about it repeatedly.
I had no idea his neighbor Glenda did so much to try to stop him! The failure of the police is mind blowing! A lot of people hate this series but it's showing the whole story and the entire injustice!
So they're building an interconnected serial killer universe now? Great stuff. Not at all disrespectful towards real people that died real, senseless deaths. Least we get some a+ entertainment out of it...
In honour of his victims.... Never forgotten .... We cannot begin to imagine the true horrors that these innocent men went through. My heart goes out to all affected by his heinous crimes Jeffrey Dahmer victims list: His first victim was Steven Hicks, a hitchhiker he befriended and invited back to his parents’ home in Ohio for beers on 18 June 1978. There he knocked the 18-year-old unconscious with a dumb-bell, strangled him, dissected the body and buried the remains in a shallow grave in the garden. Steven Tuomi was his second victim, killed in a rented room at the Ambassador Hotel in Milwalkee on 20 November 1987. Dahmer claimed he had no intention of killing the 25-year-old after inviting him back to his room but awoke to find him dead on his bed. His third victim was 14-year-old James Doxtator, who he met outside a gay bar in Wisconsin on 16 January 1988. Dahmer lured him to his grandmother’s home in West Allis, where he strangled him and kept his body in the basement before dismembering and discarding with the rubbish. No remains were ever found. On 24 March the same year, Dahmer drugged and strangled Richard Guerrero in his bedroom in West Allis. After dismembering and discarding the 22-year-old’s body, he kept the skull for several months. A year later on 25 March, Dahmer drugged and strangled Anthony Sears at his grandmother’s home. The 24-year-olds skull and genitals were found in a filing cabinet at Dahmer’s home when he was arrested in 1991. In 1990, Dahmer took the lives of four men in the space of as many months while living at his apartment in Milwaukee. On 20 May, he killed Raymond Smith at the apartment by drugging him with sleeping pills and then strangling him. He later spray painted the 32-year-old’s skull and kept it in a filing cabinet. A month later on 14 June, he drugged and strangled a former acquaintance Edward Smith. He accidentally destroyed all the remains and so was unable to keep any body parts. Dahmer met Ernest Miller outside a bookshop on 2 September in 1990, drugged him and then knifed him in the neck at his apartment. Then three weeks later on 24 September, he strangled David Thomas at his apartment and then dismembering him.
I do like the lack of background music in the show, but think it was overdone. Lack of music with carefully chosen passages with music can heighten the scenes where there is no music at all.
I’ve heard of Jeffrey but I never really looked into the victims or other details, I think it’s very disturbing and I can only watch one episode per day, it very overwhelming
Should of shown more graphic details when that dude return for his keys, but I understand that most folks wouldn't stop crying promptly on, had to keep it watchable 😅
I remember when this hit the news. Everyone was freaked out and grossed out. People were scared, especially living near Dahmer. Many murders in Illinois and Wisconsin in the 70s, and 80's.
The weight of a murderer's sin is very great, and therefore according to Manu-saṁhitā a murderer must be killed. By killing a murderer the government shows mercy to him because if a murderer is not killed in this life, he will be killed and forced to suffer many times in future lives. Since people do not know about the next life and the intricate workings of nature, they manufacture their own laws, but they should properly consult the established injunctions of the śāstras and act accordingly. In India even today the Hindu community often takes advice from expert scholars regarding how to counteract sinful activities. In Christianity also there is a process of confession and atonement. Therefore atonement is required, and atonement must be undergone according to the gravity of one's sinful acts.
I feel like preluding his killings, Evan peters was too blatantly obvious that he was a creep and up to no good. I’m sure in real life Jeff dahmer must’ve been at least a little more charismatic for people to trust him. I mean that’s how he got away with it when one escaped and was brought back. Other than that I agree that he did great. I just think it could’ve been more subtle when his victims were in his apartment.
Let’s take a second to understand how great an actress ole girl is! She nailed so much passion and effort in showing how angry the daughter was. The voices were a perfect match.
The fact that they sent Konerak Sinthasomphone back after escaping is truly unforgivable! How could you send a innocent child back who was clearly not 19? This is so evil, he could've been happy, he could've had kids! But that was all taken away from him! All of the victims could've had long happy lives....if it wasn't MONSTER and if the police just listened... RIP to all the victims🕊
To be fair the manner in which they were reporting him was pathetic. Like actually listen to the phone calls and try to forget the context after the fact. It's like "yeah there's a nasty smell coming from his apartment and he's an odd man". People don't get that at the time old people were calling the cops on gay men for no reason, and it would always have them investigating some kind of dildo dungeon, which is kind of disgusting if you're a hetero man who doesn't want to touch something that's been in another man's ass.
Cops need proof of guilt, not proof of innocence. Otherwise it's a fishing expedition and it's not legal. It isn't legal to just search a home either without a warrant. To me the fault here, other than Dahmer's, lies with the neighbor for not being able to present actual evidence of criminality to the police, secondly on the DA for not issuing a warrant and thirdly on the police for not requesting one. The reason they finally searched his apartment was that the guy who escaped it and his handcuffs provided probable cause, which is the only excuse police can use to enter a domicile without a warrant. You don't want to reverse this tradition, trust me. It's not perfect but better than the opposite thing. Stopping unlawful searches is the entire reason for the western legal tradition, because it gets abused. This is why there's a Fourth Amendment: to stop police abuse of the citizens. It's supposed to hogtie them, and you should be wary of anyone encouraging you to abandon it, whether it's MSNBC, Al Sharpton or Netflix. They up to some shenanigans!
@@valrach7303 I think the commenter was comparing how most killers will lie and say they didn't do it but Dahmer calmly told the police everything and asked for the death penalty. He didn't fight to stay alive, even when he was beaten to death.
Every single person who has invested time in studying the dahmer case knows,... him getting caught was his ultimate relief. Not only did he know he was wrong,him killing people he didn't hate and even was in love with was only out of his desperation to them not leaving.
Jeff’s mindset just likes animal trying to capture their victim. In many scenes of the movie, the father kind of psychologically grooming him to be cruel and shown him how to terror the death corps of animals which were unnecessary. The father was to blame, Jeff’s family very cool heart as it seems.
8:21 Probably means that the moon represents John Wayne being killed, and the sun represents Jeffry being baptized. Two legends meet their beginning of their end
THIS SHOW WAS SO HAUNTING and so well done!! The acting is phenomenal. I can't believe how incredibly accurate Evan Peters portrayed Dahmer. Definitely Emmy material. He sounds just like him, the mannerisms, etc. The neighbor gives an incredible performance too.
I also couldn't believe the voice! I had my head turned away and was stunned! I had to do a double take because the voice was so similar! Made the series so much better!
I was nine during the Dahmer case. While I don’t recall watching the entire case, that sister having to be held back from him while she yelled has been carved into my memory.
I was in my early teens and it freaked my whole family out. I remember my late father getting grossed out that he actually ate his victims. We just could not believe that anyone can be so evil.
The one thing that I want to know if it’s true or not is that one part of the episode where the father of the 14 year old boy kept getting racist calls and eventually it’s revealed to be the two officers who let him back to Dahmer. That part made my jaw DROP.
I honestly knew it was the police after the second call…because every time they called…they knew the details of what he was being offered…not to mention…they were to blame for how they mishandled the situation with his son.
I feel bad that the families of the victims are having these images and feelings stirred up. But, watching Dahmer, I got to know the victims and their families, they were portrayed in a way I'd never seen before, it made me feel more connected and I cried several times. I hope their families know that it brings their story to more people, and so vividly we acknowledge the hurt, and we can remember and honour them.
I have seen many Dahmer movies and documentaries through the years so I really didn't think I could get into another one but they did it incredibly well and Evan Peters does an awesome job portraying Dahmer... Truly a great actor!!
@@haintedhouse2990 she did,but jeffrey himself didnt agree to any blaming reasons,he said it was all just excuses,hes the one who couldnt control his mental process,he could if he had try to but he chose not to...and thats why hes to blame,,its what we control that make us what we are today when our mental health is fine
@@millyeleven9969 yes he was responsible but who knows, him not wanting to control such a horrific impulse may have been a result of fetal damage. your mental health aint fine if you choose to turn young boys into zombies before eating them.
@@millyeleven9969 I get what ur saying, but this man deserves excuses….either his parents or brain damage are of fault because he had such a weird life without help but still he is a terrible human being.
@@roytorr4303 you’re right. But did you grow up there? Gacy, hell.. H.H. Holmes, who killed people nearly a century before, was engrained in Wisconsinites as the boogeyman. Even BTK. The Midwest is a small and vast area and when Dahmer came up in the 90s, it made people fear. Even the Zodiac was blown up on local news outposts to strike fear. The news was that sensationalized then as it is now Also, TCM, Norman Bates and Hannibal Lecter are the loosest versions of Ed Gein you could connect with.
I know its probably because he got like a minute of screen time-- but the guy who played Gacy was also phenomenal and like no one talks about it!! . Sent chills down my spine seeing him and how well he portrayed him!!! eerie for sure
It was terrifying 😳 His face was so scary They should make a movie about gacey next. Gacey had no remorse for anyone or anything. Ruthless sick bastard
Yes, I actually said the same thing. He should get an award. He probably won't unfortunately bc of who he portrayed. Some people will think it inappropriate. I am sure someday he will get one.
Escuché a una persona decir que las películas tienen sus días contados, que las series tomarán ese lugar. Entonces, quién sabe...a lo mejor si pasa lo que tú dices. Ahora, hacer una serie, o miniserie cómo en éste caso, es más complicado que una película, porqué en cada capítulo tienes que capturar la atención del observador.
I just finished Episode 4 but I feel like this needs to be said-Murphy deserves an Emmy for his work on this series…I mean it’s lightning in a bottle, it’s just that good! ⚡️🍾
Why didn’t you guys mention that Tracey Edwards wasn’t gay , and he wasn’t in the gay bar (he was in the mall) … he also didn’t suck on his finger and pose for the pictures like that … Jeff also didn’t even come across too Tracey as gay either& it’s pretty weird how they just thought to put all of that for no reason
Agree, or strip dance for him on the floor wtf, I found it degrading for no reason, specially as there is testimony footage out there of Tracy telling how exactly the night went
Tracy Edwards has also said he is not gay as portrayed in the series. He also met Dahmer at the mall, not a bar and his best friend that he was with was white it wasn’t three black guys.
That was the first thing I noticed (that and Jeffs eye color which also bugged me at the start ) Tracy said in court that he is not gay, so I found strip routine degrading, as it never happened). The casting was phenomenal though in all accounts, it was like watching and listening to Jeffrey, same presence and mannerisms, it was astonishing
Konerak’s death was the most tragic of all his victims. The vision of a boy in that situation with that man is something that will haunt me for a very long time.
Evan Peters deserves all kids of Gold and Oscars for this! God he sounds exactly like Dahmer. I thought I was watching the real Dahmer on the screen. Peters is just that amazing 💯💯
There was also another inaccuracy to the show, the jogger scene. The show depicts that Jeffrey waited in the bushes for the jogger to run by, and when he did, he jumps out of the bushes with a bat, and the jogger runs away from him. Most of it was accurate, except that the jogger didn’t actually show up the day that Jeffrey was waiting in the bushes for him.
I remember growing up in the early 2000s my mom alwaaayys was paranoid like something like this was going to happen to me. She always told me not to go for runs unless in a really busy area because I’d be too exhausted to fight back if a predator came after me 👀
It shows that the scene only occured in his mind he'd made it up out of his imagination. It shows this again I believe when the jogger came back to his house, he was actually just imagining that also
@@tylerspringstube4868 oh gotcha! I knew the part when the jogger went back to his place was his imagination, it’s interesting how they added another imagination scene though lol Guess I just miscommunicated it! Thanks for clarifying :)
The point where I realised I watched too much serial killer documentaries is the 2 times they started mentioning about other serial killers(Ed Gein & JWG), I knew who they were referring to in the first 2 sentences.
Jefferey wasn't a psycopath, he was sane enough to know what he was doing. He knew right from wrong. He had self hate. He knew he could stop and knew what he was doing was wrong. He chose not to stop. What makes him different and worse than other killes is he was self aware, and he admitted his crimes but could never look his victims family's in the eye.
@Karma Loud and wrong. As jeffery was getting arrested he said "For what I've done I should be dead." This clearly proves he didn't admit his crimes because he didn't like court. He admitted his crimes because he understood how wrong what he did was. It was also unnecessary to insult me.
@@Moonstxrlvr yeah i believe in some ways Jeff wanted to be stopped. In the end, his killings became more frequent, where it was only a matter of days before he killed again. In reality, there was only three days between when he killed Tony the deaf guy and killed the 14 year old Laotian boy. If he hadn't been stopped, he might have killed on the daily
The series was incredible, but Glenda's character was SO INACCURATE. She lived in a different building, never saw the boy herself, didn't call the cops nearly as much as portrayed, never knew about the smells or screams, etc... They made glenda more of a victim than most of the actual victims. Really bizarre from the creators of the show
The sound of baby crying whilst Dahmer hit Tony (born deaf and dumb) with the hammer - man, the metaphor used in that scene was incredible yet heartbreaking.. that episode was saddest of all..
Ryan Murphy and Netflix needs to do more series like this, focusing in other serial killers like The Killer Clown, that intro got me curious to know more about it. This Dahmer series was really well done.
You didn't know John Wayne Gacy? I was confused when I read the title said Dahmer yet I was looking at Gacy, thought for a second I had clicked on a faulty link or something. (I don't have Netflix I had to watch it somewhere else)
While i do realise that serial killers are a nice source for real crime thrillers, don't you think that their glamourization will just encourage more people to become serial killers instead of seeking help?
I loved this series! It was SO sad… but I’m so glad they actually went deeper into the lives of the victims.. as they were more than just victims… they were men with families friends and people that loves them. ❤ RIP to all of the the young men whose lives were taken by that this monster.
I felt the same at first, but it was just that good. Very insightful and engaging. It felt like a long drawn out documentary to me. The acting and directing was perfect. 10/10
I haven't seen this film but by the comments I can see the power of character backstories to see perspectives and emotional change is by far the new wave to capture an audience. Powerful.
I cried during the testimony of the family members and I'm crying thru this also; the situation about the teenage boy is so heartbreaking; the police is at fault for his death 😢
Evan Peter's carried this show so well, the most interesting scenes were the ones he was in, that goes to show how good of an actor he is and Niecy Nash is also amazing in this . Just a well made show all round and it showed respect to the victims despite what some have said
Tobey maguire could a played a great dahmer ; they both have very similar speech , Evan peters absolutely smashed this role tho so I’m glad it was him , I was disturbed to the core whenever he was on screen
What sticks out to me most is Murphy’s choices for Dahmer, Lionel, and Joyce-Peters looks and sounds just like Jeffrey, Jenkins looks and sounds just like Lionel, and Ringwald looks and sounds just like Joyce…like *accuracy* holy s-t! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Yes! The glasses in the courtroom scenes really annoyed me, since the rest of the series seemed nearly flawless on the real life details. I was beginning to think that I may be making a mountain out of a mole hill about it; but the fact that the real Jeffrey Dahmer strategically left his glasses in his cell gives my gripe credence.
The impact statements were scarily accurate too, you can tell how much they studied the real footage from the trial to really do the story justice. This wasn’t just some poorly produced crime documentary to make a quick buck, it was a masterpiece.
This adaptation really humanized the victims, they deserve a memorial. Tracy and Glenda deserved so much more. Dahmer shouldn't have been born, he skated by for too long and this showed how much cops don't care about the marginalized. I hope Evan Peters gets some therapy after that role.
lol, yeah, no - this was a work of fiction...the Police, while mistakes were made were portrayed completely falsely and psssst, the "Glenda" character didn't exist like this in real life, she was a composite - an not an accurate one either.
@@jordanharris868 the Milwaukee Police suspended the 2 officers who returned Konerak & the Police integrity unit then recommended they be dismissed due to negligence in not running background check on Jeff - not as easy back then but was still a big mistake. The union then took legal action against the dismissal & won with the judge deciding negligence wasn't proven so 3.5 years later the 2 cops were reinstated. The Milwaukee Police didn't want them back. The 2 cops were then shown being given awards which never happened. The part with the police prank calling Konerak's father never happened either. The notion that the police ignored repeated phone calls from Jeff's neighbour (Pamela Bass who lived across the hall, not next door never happened - she only contacted the building manager about the smell and was actually friends with J-Dog, they both used to hit the booze together). The Glenda Cleveland character lived blocks away and had no idea who Jeff was either....that enough?
Incredible performances from ALL Actors who participated in this outstanding series. It captured everything I remember about the mood and the sombre cloud that Jeffery formed over the city of Milwaukee at the time. The lady who replicated the infamous impact statement of Rita Isabelle nailed it, it took me back to that precise moment that was televised around the world.
Tony Hughes was the saddest portrayal. They done so much more than just show him being killed. The fact that they showed that much of his life growing up and his ambitions, with his mother struggling, made it just so much sadder.
the way the show portrayed his story was devastating so sad , all victims deserved justice
the way the show portrayed his story was devastating so sad , all victims deserved justice
I was crying when his mom found out, I got so attached to him and was hoping he didn’t get killed.. he was such a positive light. 😢
I kept hoping he wouldn’t get killed even though I already knew he was on the official victims list. He was a beautifully portrayed character and it was devastating seeing him go like that.
I cried so much during this episode. It was truly heartbreaking 💔
Gacy's execution and Dahmer's baptism at the same time while there's a solar eclipse happening is something straight out of an American Horror Story
I never knew that. That's amazing.
@@jcepri They said it's creepy and the way they shown it in the series is actually one of the most chilling for me like wth what a terrifying connection
I see what you did there
Yea I didn't know that until the show. That's mind blowing.
The universe was in tune to what was going on that day geez
Richard Jenkins, the actor who played Dahmer's father also did an amazing job. Well, all actors in this series were living in their roles 👏
I agree he was totally believable.
Good casting option to. He looked a lot like Lionel. The guy playing Jeff had the part down pretty good as well. Especially his speech pattern. When he talked Jeffery had sort of a way to it, and I feel he captured that really well.
Lionel was unbelievable.
They should've picked a different actor. I kept seeing the "Step Brothers" dad.
@@Machoke. Yes I agree on the speech pattern but having heard Dahmer speak quite a few times, he went too heavily on the accent.
I cried when the families were told about the death of their missing family member. Also the statement of the families. The poem from Anthony’s mom got me balling my eyes out.
You mean bawling?
I know!!! Heart breaking.
I speak 3 languages my friends. Stop correcting my English. Thank you!

I don’t see anyone talking about the fact that Glenda went through so much, sleeping every single night smelling that smell, and hearing screams at night and trying to call for the police for help and they ignored her and she was so unheard, that poor lady went through so much
I know huh I bet she was left traumatized to smelling bad odors.
That’s because she didn’t; she never met dahmer. She lived in a different building
I thought they said in the video she didn't really live next door to Dahmer, but in the building next to Oxford apartments?

No words for how brilliant Evan Peters is. One of the best actors of this age yet still a little underrated.
Everything I’ve seen him in has been TV shows, mostly American Horror Story and now Dahmer which is basically a true American Horror Story. He is a great actor but he needs to get a part in a major movie production to really get noticed. Preferably not a horror movie or else he’s going to get type casted.

Evan Peters did a phenomenal job. The mannerisms, low tone, how emotionless he was, the way he explains…A1!!
He had a flat affect, which is different from being emotionless. It just means he didn't outwardly express them
Maybe, but his "Jeffrey" have nothing to do with real Jeff Dahmer. In a film you see always sweating guy trying to be metrosexual, and very aggressiv. Jeff is something else.
Evan peters is the hidden gem Hollywood has been missing. Whatever he works on next project I’ll be watching it regardless what genre it will be
People will have no choice but to recognize his genius eventually!
Absolutely love Evan!
i’ve been watching him ever since his Tate Langdon character from AHS season 1
quite sure ahs took up all his time, should have head out to the movies

Episode 6, the story of Tony Hughes is worth watching. This episode really hurts hearts. It's about a bright, hearing impaired man who is just looking for love and acceptance in a world that keeps on rejecting him. You see how life is like for Tony from his perspective where there is no sound. This is an episode that will make you cry, won't leave you and you keep on thinking about it.

Evan Peters should get an award for his incredible acting.
No he shouldn't. He should get some acknowledgement that can help his agents get more jobs for him, but an award for playing a serial killer shouldn't be an option. That's a slap in the face to the victims and families.

i actually prefer if he didn't, so disrespectful to the victims' families
I understand why some of the family members are upset but this show gave the victims their names and a story they weren't just dahmer's victim they were men who had family and a life. The show also pointed out how the police and justice system failed to stop him multiple times just because they were racist and homophobic.
Yep. It's not about Dahmer, it's about how society and the cops just swept stuff like homosexuality, race, and everything else under the rug.
True, in the long run the show will do justice to victims and their families. But I can't imaging the pain they go through every time this story becomes "trending" and reopens their wounds over and over again...
I AM THE BEEST YOUUTUBER YOU'RE ALL TRAASH COMPARED TO ME IM THE BEEST 😏😏 😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏
Well let’s see, they didn’t let the families know before making it, they have literally told this sicko story in over 20 movies, shows, and documentaries. When is enough enough? If people want to learn, there is a thing called Google, don’t need to keep making the family of these poor innocent people, whom this sicko dismembered and ate, relive it over and over. Just stop, y’all are sick
Exactly. They act like this is the first ever dramatization ever created? Crimes are bound to be documented. The only thing I don’t agree with is the families not getting some form of compensation.
I'm pretty sure if those cops never found those photos he wouldn't have been arrested
Unless they happened to open the fridge for some reason to prove his rotting meat being the cause of the stench claim
That's the terrifying part huh? It was a 50/50 chance thank GOD fate was on the victims side that day, cause those damn cops had no common sense that or they just didn't give a fuck..
@@VAL0VE man it was completely different times unfortunantley majority of the cops back in those days wouldve done the same thing racism and homophobia were quite big ordeals in those times
@@meganhughes4726 I remember when I first saw a doc on him in like 2012 or so a cop found a head in the fridge. Was a bit shock when I saw that and then the horrific crime scene started to pop back in my head from that documentary. Just that big blood stain alone would have been enough for me to start searching around if I was a cop.
I'm pretty sure he would have escaped the hospital if he went.. he was too dangerous for that.
The most amazingly well done part of the series was the Tony Hughes episode. Most shows like this are hyper focused on the killer with the victims getting little screen time beyond being killed - but Ryan made the audience spend a solid twenty minutes getting to know Tony, his family, his struggles and his dreams, everything that Dahmer took from his victims. It was powerful.
I was hoping he would be the one to change dahmer’s trust issues and just get a good life together. Really showed some serious separation anxiety issues there whether that’s accurate or not
@@josecat436 oh definitely accurate. His interview with stone Phillips made that pretty clear. He even admits it wasn't even about the killing, it was about keeping them with him. Dudes ability to give and receive love was completely pretzeled.
This is one of the best episodes of television I've ever seen. And absolutely devastating.
I got so attached which is why it was so heartbreaking for me ugh
Hopefully someday they can take peace with that portrayal. Seems a lot of the families are not happy with the series.
Evan peter's acting skills creep me tf out, he defo nailed this role, what an amazing actor.
Watch AHS, you’ll be blown away by his acting skills, he’s really too good at this kind of roles it’s like his forte
It is truly scary how point on Evan Peters gets on American Horror Story with all the characters he plays knocks it out of the park every single time
I’m of two minds about this series. On one hand I didn’t need to see another Jeffery Dahmer/serial killer story. On the other hand, this is definitely the best adaptation and retelling of the Jeffery Dahmer story.
Exactly this. I was like this is a 10/10 series, but I feel bad giving it a rating of 10/10. Ugh.
I'm conflicted, too. This is by far the best Ryan Murphy True Crime Drama I've seen. OJ was cheesy and had an unnecessary reference to the Kardashian daughters. The Versace one had a heart throb as Andrew Cunanan, which was too glamorizing. Saying this is the most engaging and accurate of the three still isn't saying much
With a bit of racial preachyness for the woke crowd. Such a downer
@@AnDr3w066 Jesse Jackson showing up was true, though. But some people perceived him as one more person exploiting the situation. Plus, dozens of people were showing up to have their pictures taken at the Oxford Apartments, not just a couple of belligerent teenagers.
I loved it exposed America to its racism and privilege
I feel deeply sorry for the families of the victims. Evan Peters and Richard were so great. That Son and Father scene in episode 8, when Lionel says "I'm not a good father! I shouldn't have left you alone!" brought tears to my eyes. :(
I feel so bad for his father, the was he blamed himself for how Jeffrey turned out was so sad.
That made me cry too.
The poor father, he did everything he could for him
His mother was should be blamed. At least the dad tried to help jeff
People always forget about the parents in situations like this - the pain of finding out your own blood is evil incarnate - it'd be a very hard thing to live with.
Wow, the court part the sister scene was so real to the actual footage you literally cant tell the difference , well done to the actress
That's super racist to say you can't tell the difference between them..wow
The actual sister is very pissed off about the reenactment. Also they're not twins so you can definitely tell the difference....

I got chills when he insisted that Glenda eat the sandwich he made for her. I wasn't sure if it was because it had human meat in it or it was drugged, since he wanted to get rid of her for the eviction (could be both I suppose). The way he was getting aggressive until her daughter showed up made every hair on my body stand up 😳
Edit- it doesn't matter if the scene was fake or not. It was still chilling. A scene can be scary and still be fiction.
I'm pretty sure It was human meat but now your making me think it was drugged hmmm
i exhaled with her when he finally left
@@gilbertrodriguez9242 I thought it was due to human meat at first but notice he asks her if she's alone in the apartment or if her daughter is home. I figured he was going to make her disappear

It like pulled pork

It was awful. His portrayal as a slow witted creepy weirdo, was particularly bad, because he absolutely wasnt. Thats how he got away with it.

Evan Peters is turning into the go-to performer of serial killers...and I'm here for it.
Everything he touches turns to magic. He's just absolutely fantastic in everything and I'm all for it. Dude is one of the greats. To see him and Anton Yelchin together would have been something
What other serial killers has he played? I know he was a school shooter in one thing and friend to a “super” hero in another. Even had an office job until he got spanked at one point. But I’ve never seen him as a serial killer before.
Is this not the first time he played one?
@@dlmbs American Horror Story
@@dlmbs It is not. He played a fictional serial killer in American Horror Story Season 5, as well as a real one (Charles Manson - though is he really considered a serial killer?) and cult leader (David Koresh) in American Horror Story Season 8 (he had to take a hiatus after that one because of how mentally exhausted he was)
That’s one of the things that broke my heart when I heard of Dahmer a long time ago . When the police let his take that poor minor back into his place … poor kid man .. he actually escaped and then they brought him back ..
They bought that kid back knowing they could have followed up with the kid's family members first..
😢
I really don't understand why that kid even went to Dahmer after knowing what he did to his brother. I guess he was desperate for money. So sad.
@@Just...Peachy he didn’t know. That was just in the series. In real life the boy didn’t know dahmers face
@@beegalore2947 Dahmer did assault his brother a few years earlier in real life. But that's true, maybe he didn't know what Dahmer looked like.
Tony Hughes and the 14 year old boy that should have been saved hit me the hardest when they passed cuz of the depth they put in when Tony was introduced. Them two cops made my stomach and head hurt along with Dahmer. Just pure evil.
Unbelievable how corrupt and egoistical those police men were .
Most yt cops are like this. They still exist to this day.
@@raquelmoore3761 so aren’t black and Asian cops. ALL cops can be corrupt. Don’t allow yourself to stay indoctrinated and brainwashed.
One of those cops is the current police chief of a town still btw... He never got so much as reprimanded and lives a happy life still like nothing happened. How he dodged a negligence charge is beyond me.
He was drilled in his brain and had hydrochloric acid poured in the hole. I don't think there was any saving him, unfortunately. But they could have stopped his killer.
I'm a little afraid to view this series, but I've got a deep respect for Evan Peters.
He really is an incredible actor.
I’ve watched clips but just clips gave me a headache
I also was afraid to watch it but I did because I was too curious. The first and second episode were kinda disturbing and the scariest for me but after it shows more of his childhood and then the victims pov and it gets less and less scary (overall it wasn't as scary as I thought). It was very informative and eye opening and I enjoyed it
It’s actually not scary. It’s sick because you know that all of this in fact happened. They also don’t show too much of actual killing or blood. To be honest: I cried in the episode where he killed the 14 year old.
Nothing to be afraid of series wasn't that graphic to be honest I feel like the first dahmer movie was more disturbing then this
@Littenz that’s what I thought too. But the families are complaining anyways cause they don’t get any money from the show. They say the show is disrespectful but i honestly think it’s a good thing to make sure the victims won’t be forgotten. Because to be honest I’ve never heard any of their names before. But I heard the name Jeffrey Dahmer. Which is wrong. The victims should be known. But just my opinion on this
This series so creepy and the fact it’s real is so disturbing. Really great series to watch and the actors did a phenomenal job.
Totally agree. The only bad part was why the writers felt such a need to make Glenda one of the biggest story lines. She didn't even really live at the apartments, never even saw the boy herself, etc... They spent more time making her a victim over the actual victims / victims families in this story,
Is it very indeed creepy. I came downstairs and sat with my mom watching it but after 1 episode i just couldn’t see anymore, and jeffreys god awful voice is so annoying. The actors were really amazing though ❤️
Yess in 2017 when the movie “my friend dahmer” came out, I remember thinking that the perfect person to portray dahmer would be Evan Peters. He always does PHENOMENAL in American horror story and did AMAZING in this show. It’s so interesting and creepy.
@@johnfulco8313 because if the police listen to her many life could have being safe
the most part that pissed me off in the whole show is the fact that he got fan mail when he was in prison... Like what even is that how can you possibly be a fan of a serial killer? surely you might find him interesting but a FAN? thats just sick, and they were too many its just disgusting to imagine how the families felt back then, the killer is being glorified!

And to jeff
@@VideosMzn cmon…
Idk how you managed to watch it. I couldn't and I watch true crime docs he is one serial killer that is just so grotesque I can't even watch him on the screen without utter disgust
I'd watch clips about it but damn those poor victims and their familys didn't deserve this shit
so in other words you had a popular generic reaction.
The fact the police failed multiple times to do their jobs really frustrates me. I cannot believe they brought that baby BACK to Dahmer. 😩
And the many times his neighbor called and they ignored her!
they fcuked up big time....
And then were awarded officers of the year!!! Absolutely disgusting
ACAB
And one of them went on to be head of the department it’s so sad
Ever since I heard about the Dahmer story the part that always gets me heated is the cops letting him take that young boy back to his apartment even though those women were strongly protesting. I don't think they should have been reinstated. That's one that could have been stopped.
well the "women" were actually teenage girls. So I think the cops believed an adult male over two teenage girls. Glenda as depicted on the show was not there in real life and did not protest the cops.
He wasn’t black he was Laotian

@@hopeleslydevoted6170 I’ve watched all the Saw movies, so I think I can handle it
Then he shouldn't be taking the class.....
One detail the series did get correct is Dahmer really did call many of his victim's family members and told them to stop searching for them because they were dead, thinking it would give them a sense of closure.
I knew his name with being a high serial killer but holy crap watching this series really upset me because the system failed the victims and ignored complaints and I really didn’t know everything that happened and the backstory and I feel like certain serial killers get talked about ALOT because we try to figure out what and why would they do that.. but prayers to the family because trauma will forever be with u..
That is what really hurt me. That white privilege, the racist stereotypes, that blind omission, cops not being held accountable, the city government not being g held accountable, the homophobic remarks and careless disregard when people called about it repeatedly.
I had no idea his neighbor Glenda did so much to try to stop him! The failure of the police is mind blowing! A lot of people hate this series but it's showing the whole story and the entire injustice!
Yea I've read stories about him since my parents grew up in Milwaukee when he was around, I was also born and raised, but never knew all this
@@Biscuitplease race this race that ..white privilege this and that...as long as you understand that white privilege no longer exists

In honour of his victims.... Never forgotten .... We cannot begin to imagine the true horrors that these innocent men went through. My heart goes out to all affected by his heinous crimes
Jeffrey Dahmer victims list:
His first victim was Steven Hicks, a hitchhiker he befriended and invited back to his parents’ home in Ohio for beers on 18 June 1978.
There he knocked the 18-year-old unconscious with a dumb-bell, strangled him, dissected the body and buried the remains in a shallow grave in the garden.
Steven Tuomi was his second victim, killed in a rented room at the Ambassador Hotel in Milwalkee on 20 November 1987.
Dahmer claimed he had no intention of killing the 25-year-old after inviting him back to his room but awoke to find him dead on his bed.
His third victim was 14-year-old James Doxtator, who he met outside a gay bar in Wisconsin on 16 January 1988.
Dahmer lured him to his grandmother’s home in West Allis, where he strangled him and kept his body in the basement before dismembering and discarding with the rubbish.
No remains were ever found.
On 24 March the same year, Dahmer drugged and strangled Richard Guerrero in his bedroom in West Allis.
After dismembering and discarding the 22-year-old’s body, he kept the skull for several months.
A year later on 25 March, Dahmer drugged and strangled Anthony Sears at his grandmother’s home.
The 24-year-olds skull and genitals were found in a filing cabinet at Dahmer’s home when he was arrested in 1991.
In 1990, Dahmer took the lives of four men in the space of as many months while living at his apartment in Milwaukee.
On 20 May, he killed Raymond Smith at the apartment by drugging him with sleeping pills and then strangling him.
He later spray painted the 32-year-old’s skull and kept it in a filing cabinet.
A month later on 14 June, he drugged and strangled a former acquaintance Edward Smith.
He accidentally destroyed all the remains and so was unable to keep any body parts.
Dahmer met Ernest Miller outside a bookshop on 2 September in 1990, drugged him and then knifed him in the neck at his apartment.
Then three weeks later on 24 September, he strangled David Thomas at his apartment and then dismembering him.
I wish they showed all the victimns lives instead of just a few the only victimn who story they really told fully was tony hughes
Crazy smh
I love the lack of background music in the show. It really allows for more immersion. Other shows should take note.
Background music can enhance a show if done right.
I do like the lack of background music in the show, but think it was overdone. Lack of music with carefully chosen passages with music can heighten the scenes where there is no music at all.
I watched it in two days and there’s times I was so disturbed by it. Episode 6 was heartbreaking to watch.
Me too I 100% agree with you
I’ve heard of Jeffrey but I never really looked into the victims or other details, I think it’s very disturbing and I can only watch one episode per day, it very overwhelming
100% with u! It gave me nightmares and anxiety
Dean Vaughn Tony Hughes Konerar Sinthasomphone death ☠ made my heartbreak
Should of shown more graphic details when that dude return for his keys, but I understand that most folks wouldn't stop crying promptly on, had to keep it watchable 😅
I remember when this hit the news. Everyone was freaked out and grossed out. People were scared, especially living near Dahmer. Many murders in Illinois and Wisconsin in the 70s, and 80's.
And Ohio for a while. If I’m not mistaken, his first murder was in Ohio.
The weight of a murderer's sin is very great, and therefore according to Manu-saṁhitā a murderer must be killed. By killing a murderer the government shows mercy to him because if a murderer is not killed in this life, he will be killed and forced to suffer many times in future lives. Since people do not know about the next life and the intricate workings of nature, they manufacture their own laws, but they should properly consult the established injunctions of the śāstras and act accordingly. In India even today the Hindu community often takes advice from expert scholars regarding how to counteract sinful activities. In Christianity also there is a process of confession and atonement. Therefore atonement is required, and atonement must be undergone according to the gravity of one's sinful acts.
Nobody could have done a better job than Evan Peters playing this part. He’s an amazing actor! ❤🎉
I really like Evan Peters, but I think Ross Lynch did a better job playing Dahmer.
@@eiffelviolet totally disagreed, Evan Peters captured Dahmer’s mannerisms and demeanor far more accurately
Joseph Morgan should of
I feel like preluding his killings, Evan peters was too blatantly obvious that he was a creep and up to no good. I’m sure in real life Jeff dahmer must’ve been at least a little more charismatic for people to trust him. I mean that’s how he got away with it when one escaped and was brought back. Other than that I agree that he did great. I just think it could’ve been more subtle when his victims were in his apartment.
He's gonna need some therapy after that role.
Rodney Burford who played Tony Hughes, the hearing impaired young man, deserves an Emmy.

@@cathygillis7083 Probably the Best of Career.
@@cathygillis7083 yes ma'am.
Let’s take a second to understand how great an actress ole girl is! She nailed so much passion and effort in showing how angry the daughter was. The voices were a perfect match.
It was really smart how they directly compared him to Gacy, and even Ed Gein, really showed how they were all so similar
The fact that they sent Konerak Sinthasomphone back after escaping is truly unforgivable! How could you send a innocent child back who was clearly not 19? This is so evil, he could've been happy, he could've had kids! But that was all taken away from him! All of the victims could've had long happy lives....if it wasn't MONSTER and if the police just listened... RIP to all the victims🕊
To be fair the manner in which they were reporting him was pathetic. Like actually listen to the phone calls and try to forget the context after the fact. It's like "yeah there's a nasty smell coming from his apartment and he's an odd man". People don't get that at the time old people were calling the cops on gay men for no reason, and it would always have them investigating some kind of dildo dungeon, which is kind of disgusting if you're a hetero man who doesn't want to touch something that's been in another man's ass.
They can deny it all they want, but I truly believe that racism and homophobia made those 2 jokes of a cop give that poor boy back to Dahmer
Cops need proof of guilt, not proof of innocence. Otherwise it's a fishing expedition and it's not legal. It isn't legal to just search a home either without a warrant. To me the fault here, other than Dahmer's, lies with the neighbor for not being able to present actual evidence of criminality to the police, secondly on the DA for not issuing a warrant and thirdly on the police for not requesting one. The reason they finally searched his apartment was that the guy who escaped it and his handcuffs provided probable cause, which is the only excuse police can use to enter a domicile without a warrant.
You don't want to reverse this tradition, trust me. It's not perfect but better than the opposite thing. Stopping unlawful searches is the entire reason for the western legal tradition, because it gets abused. This is why there's a Fourth Amendment: to stop police abuse of the citizens. It's supposed to hogtie them, and you should be wary of anyone encouraging you to abandon it, whether it's MSNBC, Al Sharpton or Netflix. They up to some shenanigans!
@@MyNeonBubbles yo what about them prank calling the father of the two victims, calling him a gouk n saying go back to the rice patties, isn’t racist?
To me those cops were involved in that murder of that young boy.
its absolutely insane hearing the actual interviews w dahmer. he was so like aware of his thoughts it was terrifying
Yeah like most serial killers. Thats not a rare thing
He really needed help and I dislike his parents for just leaving him.😤
@@valrach7303 I think the commenter was comparing how most killers will lie and say they didn't do it but Dahmer calmly told the police everything and asked for the death penalty. He didn't fight to stay alive, even when he was beaten to death.
Every single person who has invested time in studying the dahmer case knows,... him getting caught was his ultimate relief. Not only did he know he was wrong,him killing people he didn't hate and even was in love with was only out of his desperation to them not leaving.
Jeff’s mindset just likes animal trying to capture their victim. In many scenes of the movie, the father kind of psychologically grooming him to be cruel and shown him how to terror the death corps of animals which were unnecessary. The father was to blame, Jeff’s family very cool heart as it seems.
8:21 Probably means that the moon represents John Wayne being killed, and the sun represents Jeffry being baptized. Two legends meet their beginning of their end
Probably or a rebirth, one dies while another is being born.
THIS SHOW WAS SO HAUNTING and so well done!! The acting is phenomenal. I can't believe how incredibly accurate Evan Peters portrayed Dahmer. Definitely Emmy material. He sounds just like him, the mannerisms, etc. The neighbor gives an incredible performance too.
Bro when Gacy popped up with the clown suit I almost pissed myself I’m 15 and I’m using a night light again
I also couldn't believe the voice! I had my head turned away and was stunned! I had to do a double take because the voice was so similar! Made the series so much better!
"Hey man"
Evan Peters should be going viral because of his portrayal of Dahmer outstanding
I was nine during the Dahmer case. While I don’t recall watching the entire case, that sister having to be held back from him while she yelled has been carved into my memory.
I was eight years old. I remember just seeing clips on the news my parents had been watching. I remember one of the victum's sisters too
I wasn't even born when he died.. and yet here i am cred to Netflix.
I was in my early teens and it freaked my whole family out. I remember my late father getting grossed out that he actually ate his victims. We just could not believe that anyone can be so evil.
Evan Peters should get an Emmy award he was superb !!!!
Uh, imagine being a friend/family member of a victim and you see the actor who portrayed said killer win an award for it 😑
@@hamiltonv1 ur acting like its the real one. he did a great job and deserves his props
@@raebellibell it’s traumatizing.
Yes he was amazing
@@laylaynat1929 then don’t watch
The one thing that I want to know if it’s true or not is that one part of the episode where the father of the 14 year old boy kept getting racist calls and eventually it’s revealed to be the two officers who let him back to
Dahmer. That part made my jaw DROP.
That was crazy I thought it was Dahmers dad at first by his voice.
That made my blood boil I was so furious when it cut to the cops laughing. Inexcusable behaviour of callous bastards.
IT WAS THE ONES THAT BROUGHT KONERAK BACK?! What a pair of evil sacks of crap!
@@EH-vc9gt Me, too!
I honestly knew it was the police after the second call…because every time they called…they knew the details of what he was being offered…not to mention…they were to blame for how they mishandled the situation with his son.
I feel bad that the families of the victims are having these images and feelings stirred up. But, watching Dahmer, I got to know the victims and their families, they were portrayed in a way I'd never seen before, it made me feel more connected and I cried several times. I hope their families know that it brings their story to more people, and so vividly we acknowledge the hurt, and we can remember and honour them.
Don’t cry and comment here just change your tampon.
The 2 replies I've had are proving some people really don't have empathy.
Very well said✊🏾✅
@Plato on Pluto can you go back to ur ditch now? Air time is over kiddo
@Plato on Pluto It's called having empathy and respect. You should try it some time. It might make you seem like less of an asshole if nothing else.
I have seen many Dahmer movies and documentaries through the years so I really didn't think I could get into another one but they did it incredibly well and Evan Peters does an awesome job portraying Dahmer... Truly a great actor!!
Same
Just finished the series and while I knew he was a viscous killer I didn’t realize how truly insane he was
He definitely wasn’t, his mother was on 26 different medications, that type of cocktail would have terrible side effects on a fetus
@@obsidianreaper9507 good lord i didn't know that. bet she's got the guilts.
@@haintedhouse2990 she did,but jeffrey himself didnt agree to any blaming reasons,he said it was all just excuses,hes the one who couldnt control his mental process,he could if he had try to but he chose not to...and thats why hes to blame,,its what we control that make us what we are today when our mental health is fine
@@millyeleven9969 yes he was responsible but who knows, him not wanting to control such a horrific impulse may have been a result of fetal damage. your mental health aint fine if you choose to turn young boys into zombies before eating them.
@@millyeleven9969 I get what ur saying, but this man deserves excuses….either his parents or brain damage are of fault because he had such a weird life without help but still he is a terrible human being.
Evan Peter's looks creepier than the real monster.
The John Wayne Gacey cameo was as creepy and disturbing as you’d think.
John Wayne Gacy killed 33 people, may that scumbag rot in hell. 😡
I think he is the next mini series
I love how they included him and Ed Gein.
EXACTLY…As much weird and gruesome shit we seen in this miniseries the John Gacy scene creeped me all the way out 😭😭😭😭
Man, I was surprised and happy to see that cameo. I'm hoping Ryan Murphy continues with him, and Evan Peters can make a cameo.
I grew up in Wisconsin in the 90s. It was wild to see how accurate a lot of the episodes were.
Why? Did it happen in Wisconsin? Wasn't it NYC?
@@EricaShady10171972 no
@@EricaShady10171972 ..Did you watch the show? Lol
Wisconsin had two serial killers…dahmer and Ed gein (Texas chainsaw massacre)
@@roytorr4303 you’re right. But did you grow up there? Gacy, hell.. H.H. Holmes, who killed people nearly a century before, was engrained in Wisconsinites as the boogeyman. Even BTK. The Midwest is a small and vast area and when Dahmer came up in the 90s, it made people fear. Even the Zodiac was blown up on local news outposts to strike fear. The news was that sensationalized then as it is now
Also, TCM, Norman Bates and Hannibal Lecter are the loosest versions of Ed Gein you could connect with.
I know its probably because he got like a minute of screen time-- but the guy who played Gacy was also phenomenal and like no one talks about it!! . Sent chills down my spine seeing him and how well he portrayed him!!! eerie for sure
I knew I was not alone on this. It sent chills down my spine.
yes!!!!
Dominic Burgess. He also played Victor Bueno in “Feud: Bette and Joan.”
It was terrifying 😳
His face was so scary
They should make a movie about gacey next. Gacey had no remorse for anyone or anything. Ruthless sick bastard
same and it got me into wanting to watch movies about him but it's inaccurate. Gacy never committed the murders while still dressed like a clown.
Still can't get over his "living zombie" experiment
Didnt he try to turn all of them into zombies. Or just the 14 year old?
Actor deserves an Oscar for his portrayal of Dahmer, the movie was extremely well done 5 stars easy.
Not a movie, it’s a series. You can’t give out Oscars to shows/series.
He might win an Emmy for this though.
@@Icykrissy sorry I'm not up on Hollywood bullshit, whatever award then. The dude was good.
1000% agree. Amazing
Yes, I actually said the same thing. He should get an award. He probably won't unfortunately bc of who he portrayed. Some people will think it inappropriate. I am sure someday he will get one.
wym hollywood terms? can you not differentiate a film from a series?
If this was on the big screen, then Evan Peters would get an Oscar. Well, he was so good in the part that Hollywood should give him one anyway.
its good they made it into a series because so much would have been left out.
Emmy
Escuché a una persona decir que las películas tienen sus días contados, que las series tomarán ese lugar. Entonces, quién sabe...a lo mejor si pasa lo que tú dices. Ahora, hacer una serie, o miniserie cómo en éste caso, es más complicado que una película, porqué en cada capítulo tienes que capturar la atención del observador.
Glad to see Drew in this discussion. I look forward to his commentary. Love where this channel is going with all the content! Keep it up!
I just finished Episode 4 but I feel like this needs to be said-Murphy deserves an Emmy for his work on this series…I mean it’s lightning in a bottle, it’s just that good! ⚡️🍾
Kinda hard to watch honestly
think the writer and directors should win the emmy's
He’s a great actor. Just like in AHS
@@puresuga219 I agree Renner was good too…also an awesome biopic!
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
That buzzing theme music though-great choice…pretty f-kin’ eerie! 😱😄
Why didn’t you guys mention that Tracey Edwards wasn’t gay , and he wasn’t in the gay bar (he was in the mall) … he also didn’t suck on his finger and pose for the pictures like that … Jeff also didn’t even come across too Tracey as gay either& it’s pretty weird how they just thought to put all of that for no reason
Exactly.
Agree, or strip dance for him on the floor wtf, I found it degrading for no reason, specially as there is testimony footage out there of Tracy telling how exactly the night went
The sudden shift to John Wayne Gacy in the last episode gave me Zodiac vibes. It was short yet really terrifying.
Tracy Edwards has also said he is not gay as portrayed in the series. He also met Dahmer at the mall, not a bar and his best friend that he was with was white it wasn’t three black guys.
Thank you for pointing that out. I was saying the same exact thing. I don’t know why they trying to make everything gay and racist
That was the first thing I noticed (that and Jeffs eye color which also bugged me at the start ) Tracy said in court that he is not gay, so I found strip routine degrading, as it never happened). The casting was phenomenal though in all accounts, it was like watching and listening to Jeffrey, same presence and mannerisms, it was astonishing
Konerak’s death was the most tragic of all his victims. The vision of a boy in that situation with that man is something that will haunt me for a very long time.
Because it didn’t have to happen if those cops actually did their job.
@@moonlightprincess449
Yeah.
That was the most infuriating part of the story for me. They sent a vulnerable CHILD back into the hands of a madman!
@@moonlightprincess449 if they did their job on that very night half the victims would of still been alive too which is a dreary thought :(
True , Dahmer did many stupid mistakes and should have been caugh from the begining
Evan Peters deserves all kids of Gold and Oscars for this! God he sounds exactly like Dahmer. I thought I was watching the real Dahmer on the screen.
Peters is just that amazing 💯💯
There was also another inaccuracy to the show, the jogger scene. The show depicts that Jeffrey waited in the bushes for the jogger to run by, and when he did, he jumps out of the bushes with a bat, and the jogger runs away from him.
Most of it was accurate, except that the jogger didn’t actually show up the day that Jeffrey was waiting in the bushes for him.
I remember growing up in the early 2000s my mom alwaaayys was paranoid like something like this was going to happen to me. She always told me not to go for runs unless in a really busy area because I’d be too exhausted to fight back if a predator came after me 👀
It shows that the scene only occured in his mind he'd made it up out of his imagination. It shows this again I believe when the jogger came back to his house, he was actually just imagining that also
That is a cut of him daydreaming
@@tylerspringstube4868 oh gotcha! I knew the part when the jogger went back to his place was his imagination, it’s interesting how they added another imagination scene though lol
Guess I just miscommunicated it! Thanks for clarifying :)
The point where I realised I watched too much serial killer documentaries is the 2 times they started mentioning about other serial killers(Ed Gein & JWG), I knew who they were referring to in the first 2 sentences.
It seems they also foreshadow randy kraft at the beginning of episode 10 when they where talking about being caught by being stopped in a car
Lol same! As soon as he said construction and complimented dudes body I was like aw shit it’s Gacy!
I knew Ed Gein too. Gacy I've heard of the name but I'm not familiar with his story.
Been waiting for this video from you guys since finishing the series a few days ago!
Jefferey wasn't a psycopath, he was sane enough to know what he was doing. He knew right from wrong. He had self hate. He knew he could stop and knew what he was doing was wrong. He chose not to stop. What makes him different and worse than other killes is he was self aware, and he admitted his crimes but could never look his victims family's in the eye.
@Karma Loud and wrong. As jeffery was getting arrested he said "For what I've done I should be dead." This clearly proves he didn't admit his crimes because he didn't like court. He admitted his crimes because he understood how wrong what he did was. It was also unnecessary to insult me.
@@Moonstxrlvr yeah i believe in some ways Jeff wanted to be stopped. In the end, his killings became more frequent, where it was only a matter of days before he killed again. In reality, there was only three days between when he killed Tony the deaf guy and killed the 14 year old Laotian boy. If he hadn't been stopped, he might have killed on the daily
Yeah, I hate the ASPD stigma that people bring up, and even if he was a psychopath then it still wouldn't justify his actions.
Y’all defending this serial killer 😢
Man this show made me extremely uncomfortable at times. Evan Peters was brilliant imo
The first few episodes in general are quite hard to watch.
When dahmer gave Glenda the sandwich, I found that extremely disturbing
@Ed Findlay didn't know it was a contest.
I saw it in its entirety. Chilling story; amazing acting!
Very good acting!!
The series was incredible, but Glenda's character was SO INACCURATE. She lived in a different building, never saw the boy herself, didn't call the cops nearly as much as portrayed, never knew about the smells or screams, etc... They made glenda more of a victim than most of the actual victims. Really bizarre from the creators of the show
The sound of baby crying whilst Dahmer hit Tony (born deaf and dumb) with the hammer - man, the metaphor used in that scene was incredible yet heartbreaking.. that episode was saddest of all..
that's the stuff literal nightmares are made of: when you are screaming for help and no one hears you or nothing comes out of your mouth.
Dumb?
@@luckyme4277 means a person both deaf and unable to speak.
@@luckyme4277 Dumb meaning you can't talk...
He wasnt born deaf or dumb. He lost his hearing as a baby due to medication
Dahmer’s first and Gacy’s last murder were both committed in 1978.
Demon time
They both died the same year. 1994
Wtf
Is it just me? Even Peters playing Dahmer sounds just like Jonny Depp playing Hunter S. Thomson in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas....🤔
I thought i was the only one who noticed. I thought he was Napoleon Dynamite and Napoleons brother Kip mixed into one, with Depp's voice.
The guy who played Tracey did a great job those tears of sheer terror sent me chills
Ryan Murphy and Netflix needs to do more series like this, focusing in other serial killers like The Killer Clown, that intro got me curious to know more about it. This Dahmer series was really well done.
You didn't know John Wayne Gacy? I was confused when I read the title said Dahmer yet I was looking at Gacy, thought for a second I had clicked on a faulty link or something. (I don't have Netflix I had to watch it somewhere else)
the music was not really good like other tv show
I agree, I wonder if that reference of Ed Gein is a hint for a future series.
@@LostandDelirious88 I know vaguely about the Clown murders but a series like this always gives more deep insight of the serial killer and the case.
While i do realise that serial killers are a nice source for real crime thrillers, don't you think that their glamourization will just encourage more people to become serial killers instead of seeking help?
This is one of the best shows....Netflix or not.....that I have seen in a long, long time.
Amazing. This Series deserves Golden Globe Nomination.
How those officers were reinstated is unbelievable...
for the victims families to not have a proper bury for those they lost just hits so much harder . couldnt imagine having to identify.
I loved this series! It was SO sad… but I’m so glad they actually went deeper into the lives of the victims.. as they were more than just victims… they were men with families friends and people that loves them. ❤ RIP to all of the the young men whose lives were taken by that this monster.
I’ve watched this series and finished it. Idk why but I have this urge to watch this all over again. Even tho it creeped me Tf out 😭😭😭
I felt the same at first, but it was just that good. Very insightful and engaging. It felt like a long drawn out documentary to me. The acting and directing was perfect. 10/10

I thought cool tony got a chance to leave but then I saw he came back looking for his keys and got depressed because I figured he was gonna die
That's why they made it up. For viewing esthetic
@@kaydubya6347 yeah. 1) Tony and Jeff never had a relationship. 2) Dahmer wouldn't let him leave voluntarily. Totally made up for dramatic effect
I haven't seen this film but by the comments I can see the power of character backstories to see perspectives and emotional change is by far the new wave to capture an audience. Powerful.
I cried during the testimony of the family members and I'm crying thru this also; the situation about the teenage boy is so heartbreaking; the police is at fault for his death 😢
Evan Peter's carried this show so well, the most interesting scenes were the ones he was in, that goes to show how good of an actor he is and Niecy Nash is also amazing in this . Just a well made show all round and it showed respect to the victims despite what some have said
very good acting all round.....
Tobey maguire could a played a great dahmer ; they both have very similar speech , Evan peters absolutely smashed this role tho so I’m glad it was him , I was disturbed to the core whenever he was on screen
at times all i saw was tobey and saul goodman as his dad
What sticks out to me most is Murphy’s choices for Dahmer, Lionel, and Joyce-Peters looks and sounds just like Jeffrey, Jenkins looks and sounds just like Lionel, and Ringwald looks and sounds just like Joyce…like *accuracy* holy s-t! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Shari not Joyce
@@Diamondelle84 Oh-Molly is the girlfriend Shari, got it! 😉
Everything about this story is just heartbreaking
Yes! The glasses in the courtroom scenes really annoyed me, since the rest of the series seemed nearly flawless on the real life details. I was beginning to think that I may be making a mountain out of a mole hill about it; but the fact that the real Jeffrey Dahmer strategically left his glasses in his cell gives my gripe credence.
Yes, that would have been a very pertinent detail to include.

@@1m2a3t4t5 This show is not fiction. This is a true story. Some details were changed, but the show is based on fact.

I cried to,gagged at,shouted and turned off this series so many times. Tony’s story and his mothers impact statement made me sob
The impact statements were scarily accurate too, you can tell how much they studied the real footage from the trial to really do the story justice. This wasn’t just some poorly produced crime documentary to make a quick buck, it was a masterpiece.
This adaptation really humanized the victims, they deserve a memorial. Tracy and Glenda deserved so much more. Dahmer shouldn't have been born, he skated by for too long and this showed how much cops don't care about the marginalized.
I hope Evan Peters gets some therapy after that role.
lol, yeah, no - this was a work of fiction...the Police, while mistakes were made were portrayed completely falsely and psssst, the "Glenda" character didn't exist like this in real life, she was a composite - an not an accurate one either.
@@nickc5417 fr, that's what I was thinking the whole time
@@nickc5417 please elaborate how the police “were portrayed completely falsely”
@@jordanharris868 the Milwaukee Police suspended the 2 officers who returned Konerak & the Police integrity unit then recommended they be dismissed due to negligence in not running background check on Jeff - not as easy back then but was still a big mistake. The union then took legal action against the dismissal & won with the judge deciding negligence wasn't proven so 3.5 years later the 2 cops were reinstated. The Milwaukee Police didn't want them back. The 2 cops were then shown being given awards which never happened. The part with the police prank calling Konerak's father never happened either. The notion that the police ignored repeated phone calls from Jeff's neighbour (Pamela Bass who lived across the hall, not next door never happened - she only contacted the building manager about the smell and was actually friends with J-Dog, they both used to hit the booze together). The Glenda Cleveland character lived blocks away and had no idea who Jeff was either....that enough?
@@nickc5417 she did exist. She lived in the building across the street and she called the police multiple times about the 14 year old.
Incredible performances from ALL Actors who participated in this outstanding series. It captured everything I remember about the mood and the sombre cloud that Jeffery formed over the city of Milwaukee at the time. The lady who replicated the infamous impact statement of Rita Isabelle nailed it, it took me back to that precise moment that was televised around the world.
They really went in his apt after smelling the smell of death.....how?
Cuz they were thinking with their other head
exactly! You would think cops of all people would know that smell! Infuriating.
They just didn't care 😑
Aids was a big deal back then. Most belived you can catch aids in the air.
A reporter who covered the scene said it smelled strongly of chemicals, not so much decaying bodies.
