They’ve got his appearance down to a tee, and I assume his mannerisms too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted September 23, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) The images of Dahmer's apartment and some of the pictures he kept of victims are one of those things you can never quite forget. Be interested to see how far the series goes. Very interesting 'origin' as well and processes/products... Spoiler he became obsessed with 2 things - a runner that jogged past his house regularly which seemed to awaken his interest in fit young men, and anatomy. He used to dissect and treat animal corpses to collect parts of them, skeletons and the like. Skip forward a decade and he's preserving cocks, trying to make sex zombies by drilling into people's skulls and pouring various chemicals onto their brain, and making an altar with his trophies.

mottaloo Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Dahmer.....grim, very grim. If half of what I've watched so far is true, then what a really sick puppy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halfway through and it's perfectly fine but I don't love it. Evan Peters is good in the lead and nothing wrong with the rest of the cast either. But for me it's just something, not sure what that isn't clicking. It's basically a really, really, really slow origin story that jumps back and forth in time a lot. Not sure how accurate it is or how much they have "improved" the story to fit for a TV-show. Don't think it needed to be 10eps but only halfway through so maybe it does. Bit of a pain to get through thou tbf. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I’m only three episodes in to Dahmer but I’m enjoying it. It’s seems pretty true to the reality based off of what I’ve read about him and his awful crimes. I agree with @snein that it’s VERY slow going, so many scenes are drawn out for artist effect or to try and build tension, which can make things a bit boring.

Brumstopdogs Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Finished Dahmer over this weekend and thought it was intriguing and well worth watching. Would recommend but won't be everyone's cup of tea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Watched the first episode of Marriage. **** weird 'theme' song. Intensely irritating art-wank style. Sean Bean and Nicola Walker good though I fear this is going to be an infuriating watch where I end up screaming "JUST HAVE A CONVERSATION YOU REPRESSED clearings in the woods" several times.

villa4europe Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 4 episodes in to Dahmer and without my expertise being more than watched mind hunter and a fair few of these Netflix shows they put their cock on the block and make a lot of nods towards this being nurture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCDAN Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Dahmer is fantastic, very well done. Can completely understand why some would have an issue with it though, factual documentaries are one thing but dramatizing it into a mini series... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue is more that they purposefully make it slow in order to make it unnerving and tense and its working for my wife as she finds it really creepy, I'm not so sure, like I said I'm only on episode 4 but I'm leaning towards it having the usual Netflix 10 episode problem i wouldn't say its better than the John Wayne Gacy Tapes which was 3 episodes, there's definitely some interesting similarities between the two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I'm up to episode 6 of Dahmer and it really is very well done. As mentioned earlier, it is an interesting view that they've focussed so much on his environment (and rightly so) rather than just flitting murder to murder chronologically. Episode 6 in particular was one of the most haunting & disturbing episodes of television I think I've ever watched. I just blankly stared at the credits as they rolled. Horrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 26, 2022 Like others I'm making my way through Dahmer. It's great stuff. I'm only on episode 4 but I'm already suspecting it might be a few episodes too long as a series. But It's still excellent I'm dying to do some googling and reading up about him but will wait until I've seen it all first 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted September 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 26, 2022 Been watching a few shows recently. Hacks was brilliant. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11815682/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Bad Sisters is also very good so far. Though I quite like anything Sharon Horgan does. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15469618/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
