Disgraceful piece of trash
frances-natalie-420741 April 2021
The journalist in this ruins any credibility. I didn't get through 10mins. I expected an actual documentary, not something that feels like a scripted reality show with snippets of an old interview with him. If I want to watch trash, I'll watch it.

And the passive aggressiveness against his father....his father wanted to be interviewed with sunglasses because he thought it'd make him less recognisable. True it wouldn't have made a difference, but letting him do that then giving a passive aggressive dig - "in his mind, it'd make him less identifiable"....disgraceful.

Also, apparently she was asked if she was afraid of him. Jeffery Dahmer killed men..and she was in a protected environment.

Saying it's dramatised us inappropriate because he killed a lot of people. But this is not a documentary...this is a journalist promoting herself.

Incredibly disappointed.

Poor journalism!

I agree with the other reviewer on this show. Also, you know when someone becomes famous and people come out of the wood work to claim they were friends/or knew them well? Yeah, same thing with the fat chick who was supposedly his classmate. She offers absolutely no insight and I highly doubt she knew anything about him simply because they attended the same high school. This show is insulting to all the victims and everyone involved in this situation. Also, the questions she asks Dahmer are juvenile and just embarrassing. I'm more interested in the psychiatrist's interviews that grapple the meat and potatoes of his crimes. I felt like Chris Hansen was gonna pop up at any moment and ask him "So, Jeff, why did you bring these men to your apartment?" I get that Dahmer is news again because certain entities want to insert identity politics into a 30 year old case, but this was a horrible "documentary." People who are now interested in the case because of the Netflix show should just skip this and read a book about him.
