You don’t really put yourself in his shoes
Story
An anthology series about high-profile crimes or murderers who have captured the public’s attention and notoriety. Evan Peters [Jeffrey Dahmer] says they had one rule that Ryan Murphy [Creator] had to follow: that it never be told from Dahmer’s point of view. “As an audience, you don’t really empathize with him.
You’re more of an outsider
There’s a lot of episodes where 3M Command(TM) tape is shown in the kitchen of Jeffery Dahmer’s apartment, and then it’s set in 1991. 3M debuted its first wave of Command(TM) products in 1996. Featured on Jeremy Vine: Episode #5.195 (2022).
Everyone knows this story by now
Monster is a series created by Ryan Murphy (American Crime Story, American Horror Story, 9-1-1, Hollywood, Pose, Feud, etc.). Anything Murphy touches is pretty successful, and this is no different. he’s one of the most notorious serial killers in American history.
Evan Peters is absolutely brilliant as Jeffrey Dahmer
He would lure young men into his apartment and not only kill them, but he would eat them. It’s a story that’s been told many times, but this show takes a unique perspective, telling the story mostly from the victims’ point of view. He’s so good that he should be in the running for an Emmy nomination next year.
This episode is worth watching just for Peters’ performance
It’s a very dark, disturbing story that Ryan Murphy does a great job telling.
