Were you able to sit through without being screaming mad at all the opportunities they had to stop this monster.

Also how do you step foot in a smelly apartment and stay there?

When I 1st sat down to begin to watch it I was eating and I was like should I be doing this.

Is this one of them shows you can eat food while you watch? I was quite terrified.

I kept eating though. I was hungry lol🤷🏾‍♀️

being so overt about his later human killings. I think I am not alone in not wanting to watch a show that does that, so I ask, is that an issue?

But this is the story that highlights the victims, and who these people were.
And I don't want to give away too much so I'm trying to be intentionally vague.

It also covers how the system failed the people of Wisconsin and allowed this monster to keep going

I saw the first two episodes and was terrified but also interested, it was really done very well. I have not gotten past the first two because I was also concerned about this so now I know I can watch more.....maybe I can. It IS very well done.

I'm making her a special date night since she is busy at her village painting an RV camper with other artists as a huge project. She is gonna need downtime and what perfect way with a series about a notorious serial killer? She is fascinated by serial killers too...so it works out for her lol

I will never understand, nor do I ever want to understand, What drives a person to believe they have a right to take someone else's life, for sport.😥

I knew a lot about him because I was in the Chicago area when it happened and the story was huge.

The interesting thing about Dahmer, is that he is not a typical psychopath. He's kind of pathetic. He killed people because he didn't want them to leave him. He was desperately lonely. But he could not sustain a relationship because his fear of abandonment was so overpowering.

He had a lot of demons. But as soon as he was caught he confessed to all the murders and gave names and places. He seems like he was almost hoping to get caught.

I feel bad for his family and his neighbors. I would have nightmares if I lived in that building.
