The series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story continues to sweep Netflix

” Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” continues to sweep Netflix , chronicling the case of cannibalistic serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer who ravaged and ate 17 men. The series is signed by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, who undertook the difficult task of conveying this macabre true story. 

The role of Dahmer in the series is embodied in an excellent way by Evan Peters and in a video published by Netflix he reveals how he managed to get into the skin of the role. At first he said it was by far the most difficult role of his career, and he watched a typical Dahmer interview on TV to study how he moves. 

But he admitted that it made his job much more difficult when he went to play him in front of the camera: ” I was honestly in awe of everything he had done and diving into it and trying to commit to it was by far one of the hardest things to do I’ve ever done in my life. I wanted it to be as authentic as possible. ” 

And he went on to talk about the weight and impact this role had on his life: 

But to do that I had to go to some very dark places and stay there for a long time. 

He also revealed that he has read several biographies of Jeffrey Dahmer, the police report and a taped confession from 1992 where he talks to a detective-psychologist.

A few words about Dahmer

This ten-episode series stars Evant Peters as the infamous serial killer, told largely from the perspective of the victims, and delves deep into the incompetence and apathy of the police that allowed him to go on a rampage. carnage for many years. The series dramatizes at least 10 instances where Dahmer was nearly arrested but was eventually released. In total it claimed the lives of 17 men and minor boys between 1978 and 1991. 

Of course, with the amount of publicity that Dahmer received, it couldn’t all be positive when it comes to such a sensitive subject as a true story filled with murders. It has been criticized – as for other similar series – for helping to sensationalize or even rationalize the character of a convicted murderer. In other cases, relatives of the victims have taken to social media to complain that it depicts those moments in such a way that the traumas of the past come back to haunt them.
