Quoted: Crazy how little the police gave a fuck. View Quote Most of the time when I read about these serial killers they usually have had some insane run in with the law. Like got cought on several occasions raping little girls but received thirty days probation each time crazy I bitch about how lousy our legal system is nowadays.

Is everything factual in the series or did they add some extra stuff for wow factor?

Quoted: Quoted: Necrophilia isn’t uncommon at all. Bundy went back and fucked corpses a week later, I believe Gary ridgeway was a necrophile too. Israel keys froze one and defrosted her weeks later and fucked her. That's just fucking cold. Cracked open a cold one. |

Quoted: It's all extra wow factor because for the most part, no one witnessed what he was doing. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Is everything factual in the series or did they add some extra stuff for wow factor? Dahmer confessed and was extensively interviewed. He even waived his right to an attorney, but I don't think the best attorney in the world could have done him a lot of good though. Maybe Dahmer exaggerated but he certainly didn't inflate number of kills like many serial killers do. I don't think there is much if any doubt he ate parts of his victims as he had body parts in his refrigerator. |

The parts that left me incredulous are exactly the ones that involved several other witnesses. View Quote I didn't find anything over the top and exaggerated. Guy asked if everything was factual or did they add some extra stuff for wow factor. I'm saying it's all wow factor because outside of his confessions, no one saw it. It's all fabrication for the show. Of course they added wow factor. |

View Quote Okay, I guess that's how I interpreted "wow factor," I'm not sure what else that could mean. There was definitely some filler to tell the story. Did Hughes have that exact conversation verbatim in that exact pizza shop, and did the night at Jeff's play out exactly like it was shown with the board game? Probably not, but it was a believable and realistic way to show us what they were like and how they interacted. Those things didn't have me saying "wow." Letting Dahmer go with the boy without any further verification did, but that was real. ETA: Just thought of the sandwich scene, that was a bit much especially in context of the timeline. I doubt that happened, but apparently one of his neighbors accepted a sandwich from him at one point. |

I’m a couple episodes in and struggling to stay interested cause it’s so slow. Sucks because I know it’s an interesting story and the American Horror Story crew that are behind this mini series are top notch.

I just ask the major events and things involving multiple witnesses etc. to be accurate. I want an accurate sense or feel for how things played out. |

Quoted: I didn’t mean to cause an uproar. I was more speaking of the facts around the killing methods etc - exaggerated for Tv or pulled from real info Like someone said the tub of acid next to his bed? Or him injecting acid View Quote No uproar detected. I like to think adults here are capable of discussion and debate with no malice, which I think was successful here. The series does not focus on graphic violence and gore, it's much more of a drama/thriller. It's not like Hannibal Lector movies, more on the level of Breaking Bad. Dahmer can be seen using hand tools in a few shots, bloody tools laying around, and we hear plenty of power tools being used through his neighbor's vent. I noticed the show slightly altered the first murder for no apparent reason compared to other things I've read while watching, striking while the victim is standing vs sitting, but otherwise seems to be on point. One of the most intense scenes is an unexpected portrayal of a Gacy murder. Besides that, I just read that the romance between Hughes and Dahmer was probably fabricated for the show, which is disappointing because it added a meaningful dimension to the series' story. As others have alluded to, it can seem pretty draw-out and dry. |

My partner in fraud investigation in Chicago had been a CPD Violent Crimes detective, and had worked the Dahmer case, liaising with Milwaukee PD. He had a "ghoul book" of all the cases he had worked. Plenty from that case were among the worst in the book.
The only worse pic was of a guy who thought it would be funny to piss on the third rail at the ground level Ravenswood "L" station. It was the last thing he ever thought. Think of a kielbasa left too long in the microwave. Dahmer would have probably loved it on a roll, come to think of it. |

I’m going to watch this when I get a chance.
In the meantime, I dated a girl way back whose uncle was killed by the same guy that killed Dahmer in prison. I believe his name was Scarver or something like that. |

Quoted: Worked with a guy that used to date Konerak Sinthasomphone's sister (he was the 14 year-old kid that escaped Dahmer's apartment - only to later be delivered back into Dahmer's hands by the MPD). Knew a guy that played saoftball with Jesse Anderson ("He's good people"). Also knew a woman that went to High School with Chris Scarver, the guy that killed Dahmer and Jesse Anderson in the prison rec area with the bar from a dumbell. View Quote Small world. Dated Jesse’s niece about 20 years ago. Scarver killed Anderson bc Anderson was in prison for killing his wife but blamed it on black guys(stabbed her in a parking lot). Scarver was black. |

Its pretty good except for the slow parts around his parents issues
The dude who plays him is very good at depicting a very seriously creepy growing more disturbed individual between teen and adulthood If it wasn't a tv show, you'd say this dude is seriously creepy vibes. The actor is amazing, dude is creepiest vibe ever with those double bridge gold glasses Episode 3 when he hits the concert kid with the weights, chokes him out and then caressers him and gets aroused and kisses the body as the guy is dieing on the floor is the most fucked up thing I've seen in recent history Then he pulls out the motorized knife wtffff A+ for the old school cop who wont arrest him for DUI but instead threatens him "dont want see youre fuckin face again, get the fuck outta here" |

Quoted: Wow. Use a little imagination. Something like "the police and community didn't care enough about the poor missing homo minority people". How 'bout that? View Quote Uhh they didn’t in real life? Ignored his neighbors’ warnings and handed over a drugged out anal bleeding child to him because they thought it was just a gay lovers spat? Swear people here want to interject nonsense into everything. I was curious about this show but was going to wait on reviews before committing. Honestly I prefer a well done doc over a scripted drama when it comes to true crime. They hyped the skit out of that Ted Bundy movie with Zac Efron and it was terrible. Peacock or Amazon had a doc about the same woman Bundy dated and it was ten times better. |

Maybe Dahmer exaggerated but he certainly didn't inflate number of kills like many serial killers do. I don't think there is much if any doubt he ate parts of his victims as he had body parts in his refrigerator. View Quote The thing about Dahmer is that he had insight into his depravity. Specifically, he knew what he was doing was abhorrent, but he was extremely OCD, & it started back when he was helping his dad butcher a chicken or turkey. He recalled being obsession with the innards & not being able to get the thought out of his head. He even tried to stop his homicide run because he knew he what ge was doing was so evil, & he lasted about a full year until the obsession overcame him & he resumed his spree. I'm convinced that sociopaths & psychopaths are emotionally flawed, but they still know right from wrong, hence why they hide their misdeeds. |
