Default Monster: The Jeffery Dahmer Story (Netflix)

Quote:
After mining the depths of American Crime Stories and American Horror Stories to wildly successful results, prolific TV producer Ryan Murphy will combine these two impulses. Per Deadline, Murphy is bringing the story of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer to Netflix in the form of a limited series called Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. And he’s bringing quite the creative team with him.

Thus far, only one actor has been slated for the series: Richard Jenkins (The Shape of Water), who will play Dahmer’s father Lionel, a chemist who shared techniques of preserving animal bones with his young child; techniques that Dahmer would use on his victims later. The production is casting a nationwide search to find the performer to play the leading role of Jeffrey Dahmer, and is also searching for the role of Glenda Cleveland, Dahmer’s neighbor who kept telling the police about his strange behaviors, to no avail. This level of justice system failure, especially as it relates to Dahmer’s white male privilege, will be a topic of psychological dissection for the series.
Sir please calm down

No doubt to be played by some crappy actor who is only cast for his looks and his eagerness to take his clothes off.

Ryan Murphy is obsessed with sexualising serial killers.

It’s not a documentary, it’s a drama

Sounds good if its anything similar to Versace. Dahmer was a gay serial killer as well so Murphy's got his expertise.

A drama?

I expect that they had to flesh out the storyline somewhat

I don't think Ryan Murphy made that one.

I haven't seen the Efron one, either.

Can you imagine being his next door neighbour Glenda?

Hearing the screaming and the power tools going all night, smelling that stench and constantly calling the police over and over again because she just *knew* something was going on, only to be completely disregarded and not taken seriously by police.

And she *knew* that young lad was only a child but the police took Dahmer's word for it over her and just allowed him to be taken back inside and basically lead him with Jeff to his gruesome death. Horrible.

Setting aside Dahmer, the police and his father were insane the lengths they went to protect him

I've seen many documentaries on Dhamer. Really disturbing.
I've always wondered if his mother taking so many pills while pregnant affected him.
Because he had so many issues, but he never got the help he needed.
And the results were terrifying.

I’m half way through and honestly the amount of red flags and times that he could have been stopped (not only by the police but his Dad, Grandma, the army, the neighbour, the guy who owned the bathhouse etc) is just ridiculous.

They’ve brushed over it so far but he did attack a couple of fellow soldiers in the army - his roommate where they were stationed sustained prolonged abuse and torture at the hands of Dahmer.

Finished the whole thing last night.

Thoroughly enjoyed (for want of a better word) it and thought it was handled really well considering the subject matter. Yes they took a few creative liberties for the dramatisation of it all but I think it was all done brilliantly. Thought provoking and genuinely terrifying in parts. The emphasis on the victims and their families towards the end was great too.

The whole cast was phenomenal but have to say Niecy Nash who played Glenda the next door neighbour was a standout for me. Just fantastic.
