I wish they consulted the families before they made the Netflix series. This brings back the worst time in their lives for them (including the pain) as if it happened all over again. And for what? Entertainment? Views? Money? If you want the Jeffrey Dahmer story, there's already multiple movies, google, and UA-cam. I feel for the families of the victims. 😔 Anyone who has been a victim of a crime or who has lost a loved one to it understands some of what the families are feeling.
Even if Ryan Murphy would've consulted them, the show would still have gotten made for entertainment, money, and views. So what are you saying?
Them nggas don’t care about anybody feelings they just trying to collect they money 🙅🏾♀️
@@DavidKen878 That money is more important to Ryan Murphy than causing pain and trauma to countless loved ones of the victims.
@@breezystl777 I don't know. I've been a victim of a crime and lost loved ones and i don't feel what they feel.
why? Its all Public Record....
I feel for the families. How horrible.
I blame on cops!!! Dirty cops!!! This could prevent and saved so many lives and probably Jeffery can get mental health help from professional.
While I respect the families wishes, this does not glorify the serial killer, and therefor comes across to me as a legitimate portray of what occurred. We (people who didn’t grow up during this time) deserve to know the story of the victims, and deserve to know about the killer so we can attempt to analyze WHY people are the way they are.
So I respect the feelings of the family, but it is not their discretion to decide whether the public should be told the story.
My family and I was involved in the Las Vegas Massacre, I don’t go telling people not to make documentaries about it or watch them. I choose not to watch them, but I understand the educational impact that those videos/documentaries have.
@@notoriouscollector127 I wont watch this because to me I see it like a glorification. I dont see it as a documentary, just Netflix making cash of peoples misery
@@notoriouscollector127 As someone who has also lost someone in a mass shooting, I couldn't agree more! I feel for the families but no one is telling them to watch the show. Nothing about this show was glorification, just an accurate depiction of what happened and now, a whole new generation is able to learn about the victims. Honor them, and keep them remembered. It can be a positive thing but they're choosing to be negative about it which is completely their choice but as you said it's not their decision whether the public should be told the story or not.
The family aren’t forced to watch the show if they don’t like it don’t watch it
I feel for the victim family because they have to relive that horrible experience.
Or just don’t watch the series?
@@pedromatias7608 while everyone else is watching it and talking about it? it’s literally one of the most viewed netflix shows atm
@@melarie205 I never watched Game of Thrones and its all anyone talked about for years. Your argument is invalid.
@@taylorconnor2315 they always gotta excuse for everything like simply ignore it, always wanna be involved
This is more important than the victims families. This is important for the society. We can't close our eyes and pretend that it didn't happend. It did, this is reality. We have to face it, not hide from it.
"The deaf mute guy" DISGUSTING. His victims were literally just objects to him. Disgusting that he didn't even care to know their names. I hope he's frying in hell!
Yea man, i wanted to finish the show just to watch him get got in prison.
@@gskate117 Yepp. Sorry but I think some people are beyond fixing or rehabilitation. There's certainly some that need to be put down like a rabid animal for the safety of the general public. And he's one of them. Plenty of people have trauma and mental health issues. Almost none of them do what he did. There's zero excuse for that. He was pure evil thats all.
Bruh wdym frying in hell he got brutally beaten i think thats more than enough then getting stabbed or something
@@gskate117 he got baltized and repented theres a chance
He got baptized prior to his death. He's in heaven.
Just imagine a haunting moment of your life from 15+ years ago suddenly resurfaces on the big screen for all to see. Old woulds open like new and it doesn’t help anyone.
The only help I can see is the cops who let Dahmer get away with the killings recently retired. I hope this highlights their faults and they lose their benefits
It helps the actors, producers and Netflix make money 💰💰💰
@@gwenrowbottom6920 true but two things can be true. Just like the Netflix series “When They See Us” got the cop fired who arrested the boys
If everyone would think this way, movies about the holocaust and World War II would've never been made. I know there are some weirdos doing Tick tocks about this but this is not and won't be the last time.
31 years ago but his story has been redone like 6 times alot of people didn tknow about this including myself but at the end of teh day he did what he did and he got what he wanted brutality just glad someone had enough power to not let this monster take them out
Tony was one of the victims that had really made me feel some type of way towards for him🥺 sending love to his family and the rest of the victims family’s.
My heart sank when he went back in because he forgot his keys 😩😩
Right
Ye man if I was related to Tony and I knew he would have a role in the Netflix series. I would have no business watching it
It broke my heart. He just wanted to be a successful model living in New York, chasing his dreams, live happy, and wanted true love and unfortunately met a psychopath who just took advantage of him and took all that potential and life away☹️
@The Dude No one responded to your comment, because they more than likely did. Probably sat around eating on the couch, while watching “Tony”. Smh
I watched DAHMER. I definitely paused that last scene when it showed the pictures of the real victims and just reflected on it for a few moments. I’m not really religious but it’s one of those moments when I just think “if your soul can hear this, I empathize with you and wish you peace “
Its a shame something so horrible also is interesting in some freaky way too so many people, it’s just a real life horror movie.
Glenda is a hero of a woman as well. What a 💎
God is real. N so is the devil who luvs death war murder. I believe what helped Jeff become a true demon here on earth was da alcohol Aka spirits 4 a reason n literally got possessed. Obviously there sum other factors involved. He didn't believe in God n apparently had devil throne in his grandmas haus also wanted 2 make altar with da bones like catacombs. we all have souls deliver us from evil father.
Same. The series was interesting, but that last scene also made me remember this was real life and real victims. I took a moment to remember them.
That's very kind of you
@@Zulma91 it's interesting because it's sensationalism
One you dead you dead, just like you never be born or before you was born.
That episode with Tony hit me like a truck. Didn’t even know about Tony, but the scene with him celebrating getting the job ripped my heart out . I feel for all the victims and their families but man oh man I shed a few tears.
Same! It’s touching!! 😢😢
Unfortunately, everything depicted in this Netflix series is on public record through interviews, court transcripts and news reports so the victims families have no legal recourse. The Son of Sam Law was enacted when infamous serial killer David Berkowitz (Son of Sam) stated he was being a offered a large sum of money in order to tell his story in 1977. This law states that any money acquired from books, movies, memoirs etc...would be put into an account and evenly distributed to victim's families and not to the criminal it is based on. This law is non applicable here as Jeffrey is long gone. His father Lionel Dahmer wrote a book years ago and was forced to give them a portion of the profits.
They’re not trying to take legal action as stated multiple times….they just don’t want to relive that trauma again and Netflix lied and said they reached out to the families which they did not
Exactly! These ladies took every penny Dahmer made in jail, allegedly...even the money he got from "fans"...all they want is money from Netflix.
Actually there were a ton of innacuracies. They took some of what he said in interviews and dramatacized it. Drinking a bag of blood? Didn't happen, Dahmer said he tried it and didn't like it. The runner who might have been his first victim? Didn't even show up that day. There was so much interpretation, subtraction of details and embellishment. Idk about legal action but this show was not accurate even to public record.
@EMC Official
Obviously you misunderstood my comment as the first word I wrote was "Unfortunately" or perhaps you have problems with a limited vocabulary.
@EMC Official
The very reason I mentioned the enactment of the Son of Sam law was to let people know that the families of victims of these kinds of atrocities have found some semblance of justice from the very perpetrators of the crimes their loved ones were subjected to but "unfortunately" this was not applicable here. I find that people who attack and judge complete strangers over the internet, most likely have serious personal issues themselves. If this is the case for you, please seek some help immediately.
You can't do a series like this without affecting the people involved. For them they lost relatives and friends. For the series everything is turned into a drama with characters. The True Crime genre has its limits.
people keep saying this is good because it teaches us about dangers of the world. theres many ways to go about doing that though. jeff has already had many films and documentaries made about him. at what point will people stop glamorizing him? he did a horrible thing and it keeps being showcased. people can learn about these things through other ways. i feel so sorry for the families that have to relive this once again
“The person to blame is sitting right across from you that’s the only person, not parents not society not pornography I mean those are just excuses”
He’s definitely not wrong his self awarness is spot on
Its not really awareness. He's saying it and experiencing it in the way a normal person might say, "Yes, I ate a 2nd peice of cake, I can't blame anyone but myself."
Just saying what people wanted to hear. In the interview with his dad he blames not having religion in his life
He's saying what he knows we want to hear.. that's the scariest thing about him, he makes people think he's actually not quite the monster he is
Little does he know the weight of all that he listed made it That much harder for him to make the correct choice. It created his compulsion to act the way he wanted like a child would. His prefrontal cortex was most likely hijacked by the procedures his father made him go through, the grooming of dissecting road kill and of course pornography addiction can be very dangerous because it literally hijacks your brain into acting compulsively while also lowering dopamine levels which leads to sometimes severe depression and lacking social norms. This also makes decision making hard. He is to blame because he did it and didn’t stop but just factor it all in !
He was a manipulator. He said all those things so his sanity plea would hold up. He wanted to go to prison to be killed. I highly doubt he meant any of it.
it is painful to relive this but without this the whole generation wont be able to honor the names of these victims. I feel like the series was able to touch that and now, we remember these men/boys that were killed. they will never be forgotten
the newer generations could also get this same info from the multiple movies and documentaries already out there, google, anywhere. Especially since true crime is popular right now. No need to re-victimize the families. When you lose a loved one to murder, especially in this gruesome of a way, you don't exactly want to keep reliving it.
Wrong! Most of this generation is not honoring the victims but making a joke about it. Jeffrey is the only one trending.
@@AA-oh2zi Which is probably also why they shouldn't have made it into a trendy Netflix series.
Sounds like we should make another movie about the guy in the next 20 years then, so that the next generation will able to keep honouring the victims.
@@breezystl777 fr.
I knew more about Jeffery Dahmer than the victims until this came out. I woukd hate for this horrible moment to be relived if this was my family member. Families don't need those wounds reopened, these are people who were loved by their families and unfortunately they have been turned into a punchline for many online making jokes at the families expense. I really hope that there is no more remakes of this so that these families can heal and not think of how their loved one died but honor their memory instead.

I feel for all the victims but Konerak and Tony made me feel sympathy in a whole nother way. It was so heartbreaking. They all deserved to live.
They wanted people to remember the victims. I had no idea who they we until this, I feel they did a great job people who had never heard of them now know.
Let's all petition then that Netflix donate all funds to the families of the victims
@@sarai5467 🤔 Why?
@@angeladavis9254 idk maybe because Netflix capitalized on the pain and loss they felt and what’s your problem with giving the money to the victims’ families to begin with?
From my point of view the series is about dahmar and not the victims... It's clearly in the name and his the main character... If it was about the victims, they would have told us how they lived before meeting dahmar.... Let's not sugar Colt things
@@mwakananyangwe2174 exactly
Seeing the victims, learning about their lifes, seeing their families, it brings them into the picture. So many serial killer movies is ALL about them. We should know about the Victims and their families (with their consent) because the victims are SO important ❤
The lady screaming at the end in the trail broke my heart, Just felt so bad for her.
I’m glad she responded. It was disgusting that they made a story about a fake romantic relationship.
Exactly, yet Jeff calls him the deaf-mute guy
Dahmer had an affair with another guy, whom he decided to dunk after spending the weekend together. And Netflix mixed everything up and confused the audience
@@lakijadez7707 And what do they call you?
I don’t think they were “in love” but Netflix didn’t pull the Tony/Jeffrey thing from thin air. Some of Tony’s friends and a relative said they did hang out 🤷🏽♀️
It wasn't exactly fake. They'd been dating casually for about a year or two before the murders. Also Jeffrey didn't intend to kill him
As someone who lost a little brother, it doesnt matter what people would do. I always relieve the final moment with him from time to time. I still cry sometimes even though nobody mention him. The sadness comes from within. So for me, the series is not really a big deal. Even if the series didn’t happened, deep down, i believe they remember
Well the mother is telling us it bothers HER. You know, considering she’s an individual and all
I am so sorry for your loss.
Yes but imagine someone making a tv series about that event, your now going to relive it again but it’s no longer your choice, it’s going to be for a while too, but again it’s not your choice and you didn’t know it was going to happen, that’s a very different thing than what your talking about
For me it comes down to not feeling they have a voice, again and again. They didn't have a voice when their kids died, on a wider level the police's failure to investigate was indicative of their lack of voice as a community being of lower social status, and now they have no voice against Netflix.
@@SureYoureRight This is more important than the victims families. This is important for the society. We can't close our eyes and pretend that it didn't happend. It did, this is reality. We have to face it, not hide from it.
I know all of this must be beyond hard for the families & victims. Rest In Peace to those taken too soon. And the family members of all those involved. I hope you find peace in the storm.🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️
So the series basically dramatized the deaf guys death.
I didn't even know he was deaf without this series. So many things were not explained in news articles.
@@bebesomething it literally says on Wikipedia that he was deaf. Like these things are public record if y’all are that curious. It shouldn’t take a Ryan Murphy show to bring light to things that have been retold over and over.
@@AJ-kd3yo thank you
@@bebesomething there are mf documentaries on youtube. THEY ARE FREE
@@AJ-kd3yo You gotta be honest, a series like this definitely shined light on a 30 year case. Be real, not many people knew all about his victims…I leaned about the deaf guy, 14 year old, and the jogging guy (first victim) I learned so much thanks to this series.
This casting is so accurate!! The only ones that are not is Glenda, and Tracy Edwards.
Glenda wasn’t even his neighbour in real life. They just wanted a strong black woman to race bait us but she comes off like such a Karen. The woman did nothing and ends up getting an award for it lol
@@oracle8589 Race bait? Do you know that Jeffrey was referring to Glenda's niece, Nichole Childress (who made the INITIAL call to the police) a "cr@zy, black bish"? I don't think that Jeffrey was cared how much "non-black" was in Glenda (or her niece). He was "race-baiting" when he lying to the cops, exaggerating about the neighborhood, and trying to convince 'em that Glenda's niece was just another "cr@zy, black b!sh" ...you can find the interview with her.
@@oracle8589 At least in the series, Glenda did definitely not do nothing.
And they turned Tony's story around so much..they were NEVER in love
The show never said they were in love
@@Butterfly22593 It did portray something was going on between them.
Yes they were in a relationship tony told his friend about him
@@lisah8438 a friend of tony said they knew each other for about a year or so and had "relations".
The fact that they didn’t consult the families makes me wonder where are they getting all this in depth personal storylines they made for some of his victims? I think it was a well done docuseries or whatever but how are you making it without talking to the families? I’ve never understood that… especially with Tony’s story it really broke my heart. And to retell it without even talking to the family I’ll never understand it
So sad to all the families! Rita really makes me heartbreak made me cry because i felt her pain as soon as she went out of control how sad.
The pain caused to the family is just terrible, was heartbreaking to watch the families suffering about what happened. I also see where they came across to not continue with racism in today's world because it is still happening. Wish they consulted the family first and explained the reason for a recreation of something so terrifying.
Doesn’t anybody think it’s weird that the series try to make it like tony and Jeffery had an romantic relationship but there is no evidence of them having an romantic relationship
I agree, it's story telling. The reason we know about it now is because it is spoken about and they are names are spoken, not buried in history no matter how horrific. He was murderer looking like an ordinary guy, this can happen to anyone at any time.
i have a question, did konerak’s dad actually recieve threats from the police? If so, what were the names of the police because I’m curious what happened afterward
Then no more shows or movies about 9/11. That's painful for the families. While we're at it, get rid of all movies about WW1 and WW2. Painful for the families. Get rid of all the Ted Bundy shows, the Manson shows, the Zodiac killer movies and so on and so forth. Let's just never do entertainment about real life events ever.
Yes! On one hand I feel so bad for the families but I don't think movies or dramas should have the need to dance around certain topics. Everything is offensive now and gets cancelled.....
Your lack of empathy is amazing. I am impressed.
I'm glad they made this series. Yes it reopens wounds. But it tells the victims stories and helps people see the signs.
1. Watch your drinks.
2. Don't go home with strangers.
3. Caution saves lives.
The males who passed on if anything will be remembered for more than they know. Their stories help save lives.
So a 10 episode serious needs to be released in order for common sense to be taught?
@@thomasal2487 YES.
@@laradavenport903 guess common sense isn’t that common 🤣🤣😅
@@thomasal2487 i know right? This series wasn't necessary AT ALL.
Um... it wasn't necessary. You can do that kind of thing with a perfectly fictional story that has no real victims involved. Dahmer didn't need to be sensationalized _AGAIN_ for this to happen.
I'm sorry the families feel this way. I didn't even know who the victims were until I watched this show. I didn't even really know what Dahmer did to these people.
I‘m really embarrassed to have assumed that they talked to relatives of the victims beforehand. I thought this is an obvious procedure when it comes to a topic like that. I didn’t even watch the documentary but this is simply cruel. Very sorry for the families that have to „re-live“ through those horrible times.
I’m sure it’s difficult for the families, but I don’t see how this is different than a documentary other than the skewed facts. The courtroom scenes are actual scenes they would show in a documentary. It’s public record.
because its for entertainment
@@lovejones2179 I can understand why you feel they should, but at the same time why should they? Did they make money off of the other Dahmer films? Did any of Bundys victims make money off of the Netflix money about him? Or the Gacy victims families in the movie about him? If all victims families were paid from those movies, then absolutely they should get a portion. Would it be nice if the victim families? Sure, it would be great, but it’s not something they have to do.
@@lovejones2179 and? That’s how things go. They’ve made movie about the holcaust and Ted Bundt and the clown killer as well.
@@kountry_bumpkin8455 I guess I don't understand why you don't see where they are coming from. I don't understand why people and why you feel entitled to know the stories that the families don't feel comfortable sharing. It is great to honor the victims but to re-traumatize a family and having the whole world know your story without your permission seems harsh and not ethical. So, I don't understand why you don't see it that way. I could live happily not knowing who Jeffrey Dahmer is and what he did.
@@lisah8438 I’m not sure of your age, but I’ve known about Jefferey Dahmer since I was a little kid. (80’s baby)…I’ve never said I didn’t see why the families feel that way, but at the same time the whole story is public record. They don’t need permission.
The show was so disturbing for me. It was hard to watch. I can't even imagine how it is like for the victim's family to hear about the show:(
It was nice to see Tory Hughes story in the series I wish the series showed the story of all the victimns not just a few I feel like they all had a story to tell
Tony’s story in the show wasn’t 100% accurate. They tried to make it seem like Jeffrey and Tony had a short-lived romantic relationship going on before he was murdered which isn’t true. Jeffrey killed Tony the same exact night they met
@@luistorres513 that’s not true.. they were dating for 2 years seeing each other… he didn’t intend on murd tony Hughes they knew each other 2 years before the murder. It was absolutely a build up of romantic interest.
@@luistorres513 That is absolutely not true. He was one of the only victims if not the only victim that was not killed for a good long while after meeting Jeff.
If Jeffrey Dahmer doesnt meet the requirements for insanity, then id hate like hell to run into the guy that does.
-John Wayne Gacy
He was way more evil. Gacy was evil.
@@dharam149 yes he was and yet DAHMER freaked him out.
@@anthonycampos8057 dahmer atleast had remorse for what all he did. & the bad things he did was mostly coz he was so alone while gacy lied ,manipulated & did evil things with victims. Just saw the Netflix docuseries john wayne gacy confession tapes
Dahmer didn't have remorse.
@@LaraCroftEyes1 thank you. They want to spread that lie so bad.
Oh why ? I cried. I was rooting for him so much, that Tony wouldn't get murdered. Im so sorry Tony.
He just wanted to be a model and represent his community😕

Jeff was the type to tell you that he's a "nice guy" If a man ever tells you he's a nice guy please run. Biggest red flag ever.
Read detailed explanation of My Friend Dahmer movie plot here : plotterz.blogspot.com/2022/10/movie-my-friend-dahmer-2017.html
Netflix’s needs to donate money to the victims family
Literally all of it
Yes
I can only imagine, I can’t believe they actually watched. Being from the city where this took place and having a connection to one of his victims family, I was only able to stomach the first episode and even that was hard 💔. My heart and prayers go out to all families involved.
Sorry to hear bout all that. As a fellow person from the city of Milwaukee itself, it is a rather tragic tale that is unfortunately a popular story to tell about the killer and never the victims. Hats off to ya
Rita broke my heart, her raw grief is so sad. We need to know about the victims, make them the people we love and care for, their story is as important as the pyschopath that took their lives and this series has come close (not close enough) but closer than Ted Bundy's victims. Show these people as the human beings they were not just the killer. With the families consent and any money made from these films/series should be given to help the families, look into research as to why these phsycopaths are why they are and educating all people how to keep them selves save.
So sad and heartbreaking RIP
You got 17 likes for 17 victims:( Such a horrible tragedy these ppl endured:(
I'm not understanding why a family member would watch this show. Seems bizarre to watch something that you were a part of, knowing how it was going to end
This.
Not even close to being the point. The point is the story has already been told many times already and for them to essentially dramatize a very personal and traumatic experience for the world to see word for word is a pretty traumatic thing to have to go through. They weren't even contacted and asked by Netflix for permission to do something like this. Very money driven and not even handled with care or respect for the victims or their families.
@@craigsovilla6578 yeah you are right, you missed my point completely. It's history, are survivors of 9/11 to be contacted when a new project is being made? What's the rules on how this works in your world? A lot is driven by money, big surprise there, also they are reporting that water is wet too😒.
Surprisingly, a lot of people haven't heard the story so it's getting made and the more fuss that has been made only serves to give this show more free publicly that it wouldn't have otherwise received
@@Brandon-qr2or @Brandon No sir, I didn't miss your point. Nice try at projecting, but you missed the point of the entire video.
Take a step back and realize that you're defending a show that glorifies a serial killer and minimizes the victims.
And actually yes, survivors of 9/11 generally are contacted when a new project is made. Or at least every documentary I have seen of 9/11, contains interviews from survivors and first responders that were there that day. The movie World Trade Center adapted 9/11 and actually if you can believe it or not it does contain survivors from that day in the movie as extras.
When something like this is made, it is with good faith that you ask everyone involved if they give their permission for a said project, which is exactly what Netflix didn't do and why you don't need Netflix to tell the story for you. The fact that it was done just for the sake of money just makes it distasteful and disrespectful.
The show isn't even fully accurate in regards to Tracy Edwards, and Glenda Clevland's involvement with Jeff.
@@craigsovilla6578 first of all I'm not defending a show but I'm defending the creators from having to get the ok to tell a story that is public record. Would it have been nice, sure but life doesn't always work that way. They are literally having the Streisand effect on this serie with every complaint they register, there is power in silence sometimes tho it is lost now.
all the survivors and family members are contacted when a project is launched for 9/11 huh. Ok because that sounds 100% plausible 😒.
If you don't like it or the way the production happened don't watch it, it's on a service you have to pay for and then have to select via hundreds of shows, it's ok not to watch something so you don't have to have an opinion about it to share with everyone, strange idea right.
Some things just don’t need to be repeated, especially when it was painful the first time.
It’s important to tell this story for sooo many reasons.
That scene when miss Rita screams to Jeffrey gives me chills to my bones evetime I see it
This was the worst ... Tony was the one person that gave him love that he was seeking his entire life and still killed him :( Even though all the victims it's horrible I felt this was a place where there was not a single redeeming thing he was just pure evil .
Wish these families knew how deeply sorry and heart broken we are for them as well. This series was unsettling. The scene with police returning Konerak to him made me want to jump through the screen, and physically take that boy away from Dahmer myself.
Tears came out my eyes 👀😢when the girl yelling at him at court...I felt like if I was there 💔I couldn't have held back
I have heard of Jeffrey Dahmer but didn’t know the full extent of his evilness until I watched the series on Netflix 🤷🏽♀️😢
Same. I was a baby in 1991 when he was caught. I always heard the story, but didn't know how truly sick he was. The show broke my heart for the victims.
Netflix could have asked for approval and Compensated the family.
I stand and pray for the families during this trying times.
The storie its out there, and it was before the serie. It doesn't belongs to anyone, or better saying, it belongs to everyone. Saying "you can't write about this because is traumatic for the people involved" is like saying "you can write about world War II because is traumatic for the people involved"
I didn't know the names of the victims, neither their stories and their fight, until I saw the serie. I didn't know how much they messed up (police, etc) until I saw the serie. So, if the main objective was that...BRAVO!
I recently watched a BBC documentary on Jeffrey Dahmer from 1994. The video is on UA-cam, it's very insightful. Theresa Smith, the sister of Eddie Smith, participated in the documentary. She befriended Dahmer's parents and met with him in prison. He apologized to her and she got to have some sort of closure by asking him questions about her brother's murder. They should've included that in the series.
I feel horrible for the victims families. What makes me even more sick is that this show became #1 for such wrong reasons. He was a sick, evil man. And it makes me so sick people are watching this for the actors looks. My heart goes out to the families of the victims. Stay safe yall.
noone is watching it for the actors look
Let me add. That every serial killer was influenced by another previous serial killer same thing with escorcs and crooks . So dont be suprised if in 2022 we will have many jeffry dhamer in this planet
Netflix glorifies sin. The Luciferians make huge money off serial killers through movies and books.
@@mahmoudbj3924 nope it gonna be hard to be a serial killer these days
This series enlightened me so much. I've always heard of the name Jeffrey Dahmer but never really knew about him and what he had done. So sad 😞
Honestly the series was well made I have always known who Jeffrey dahmer was but now I understand the pain he put his victims and families though and I got to know the victims and their names before whenever I saw a documentary or read an article they were just 17 young men and boys but now it shines a light on them
Edward chavez I agree, plus the series went more in depth on the families of the victims. Most documentaries on Jeffrey Dahmer only center around his crimes and who he was as a person, like you said
I didn't watch it. If you kill 17 people, you can Google their names and many people know when a loved one dies, it hurts, but to be killed? Yes, they are going to be very hurt and angry. That hurt will be their the rest of their lives! A better ideal? Raise money for the victim families and go see about them without any cameras rolling! That would help more then making this trashy movie!
I can sympathize her reliving those experiences.. meanwhile it’s a good thing for society to be aware of the true pain and reality of the hurt these people experience. She’s unhappy because she is heard, meanwhile the majority are unhappy because the world never allows them to share their pain.
she’s unhappy because the show isn’t even accurate, and literally used her and her songs real names without her consent
If theyre using their names they should be compensated
While I feel for the families, and I can't imagine the trauma and PTSD that even hearing Dahmers name brings, the netflix show really reminds the new generation who weren't there to experience this in real time, the atrocities of what actually happened. It sheds a light on the poor victims who unfortunately with other documentaries/shows, are forgotten in the embellishment of what Dahmer did. I only knew who Dahmer was and never had heard anything about the victims or their families, and with the show and the new docuseries, I have learned so much about this young men who had so much to live for. While at the end of the day it isn't our decision to say what is right/wrong and I cannot imagine any of the families wanting to watch these series, for the general public it was a way to memorialize the victims and continue shedding light on systemic issue that are still present within our police force + justice systems.
Then they shouldn’t watch it
@@matthewbladwin1546 they never said they watched it. The previous comment states, "I can't imagine the PTSD and trauma that even HEARING DAHMER'S NAME BRINGS"
And to think that this show is topping the charts for weeks or even months now is horrible. Then again there are many brats out there making offensive tiktok videos glorifying his disgusting actions for fun and entertainment.
I really wished you know how the victims families feels. Then again if you still reply by saying anything close to, "Oh they should stay off the internet! This thing will die down soon. They should get over it. Its been more than a decade!"
It probably will. But the next five or ten years his name will glorified again. Imagine having to relive this trauma over and over again. One day you'll experience this kind of pain. You'll see
I honestly thought that shows like this speak to family members and friends of the victims PRIOR to the show even going into production
No need when you could get sources from online, this is public information
I feel for them but people need to know about this. It's been years. When will the time be right for them? If never is the answer well that's not okay either. You can't keep the public from knowing about this.
If your father or child was butchered and dismembered in the worst way possible,when would be time for you to allow people to feed on to your pain because it is beneficial for them? When would you be ready to watch an reenactment of the pain they went through? Hope you never know the pain
I agree with the family, they clearly never been consulted to re enact such a horrific event. I can imagine how traumatizing this would be for the families involved, to re live those memories. Shame on the production team and film crew.
Hell yeah screw Netflix and everyone associated with the series . Even though it shows what happened to his victims it didn't even probably come to their mind how upset and sad it would make the family's of his victims. You've got my condolences I'm sorry that you are going through this .
It's kind of insane how accurate the casting was for the series....
The victims were so much more than what they were touched by, they should be remembered in the good times with their families, be allowed RIP not eternally his victims. Harrowing
I didn't want to watch but couldn't stop watching....It just makes you 2nd guess meeting strangers in general.... I feel horrible for the families so sad...
I couldn't even watch the documentary all the way. After what he did to that 14 yr Olds body. I was sickened. I was also sickened that people where sympathizing with this monster. Made me hate him more. I don't care what he's been through!
Poor guy deaf/mute smh. I feel so bad for the mom. God bless the young men who experienced such a death🌹
people are telling the families of the victims..then don't watch it. how dare you. its their names and families, actors saying what they said word for word. its DIFFERENT when the victims are being played on screen and seeing how it went down. BIG difference from just a documentary
THANK YOU. theyre literally making a spectacle and dramatization using their deceased/murdered loved ones pain/suffering jesus fuckin christ
@@wholethedogsout880 I just don't get it, people are selfish. "but we wanna see it, forget the victims families." If someone used my name and what I said word to word, I would be upset too. I also don't wanna see one of my family being murdered on screen. I can't even imagine. The Ted Bundy movie on Netflix with Lily Collins and Zac Efron was so respecting of the victims. It was well done. They didn't have to show murder and all his killings. If you knew Teds story then you know. It was basically a time line of when the crimes were committed.
It's not different. You can't watch something and then complain about how it traumatized you.
@@DavidKen878 the families know the show is going on and yes they’re entitled to feel how they feel. Using their statements on the show, saying they’re names. Of course they’re gonna find out and have a reaction.
@@DavidKen878 it’s all over the internet with people obsessed with Jeff so they kinda can’t stay away from it
Give the families some money if you’re making money off their pain and grief. C’mon
To say just "don't watch it" is sort of a really horrible thing to say. Sorry. Not sorry that some of these parents are actually verbalizing what they feel. This happened in 1991. Come on. Not that long ago. There are still people grieving and mourning. The series I got literally like one episode in not even a full one and was mortified and horrified at how accurate and how word-for-word things copy what was actually said. I'm certain I can say they probably cover this in this clip. I'm not going to even watch it. But I'm going to say. Weird. It's WEIRD. For anyone saying "hey don't be disturbed this actually happened to human beings, not even twenty-five years ago. But let's make a movie about it and add every gory detail. It's pretty disgusting. Also like I feel extremely similar about any reacting to like horrific crimes. I much rather watch a documentary and get the facts from like the police of people investigating at this time. If you want to make it a historical documentary that's certainly lessons learned but glorifying it in a tv series is. Yeah. It's disturbing when you work with people and they say "I just want to see how all the murders are done" and your like... I was like riding my bike and alive and could have been a victim that time. Anyone could be. At any time. I'm certain people would think and feel differently if they had a family member murdered, butchered and had pictures taken of their last moments. Yeah. Just don't watch it though right. It's actually really fucked up and weird to me. To enjoy watching shows of humans who actually had horrible suffering before they died. Weird. I take no enjoyment out and I hate it seems to be a sick thrill for others now
Ok also wait for a second just adding one more fucking thing here. For anyone who thinks that this guy was remorseful for what he had done. He was just a narcissistic sociopath who felt narcissistic guilt for ruining his own image. Which wasn't much, to begin with. He completely lacked the ability to feel empathy so him just giving up and saying he was completely responsible was his way of just oopsie daisy taking accountability and null and voiding taking true accountability or feeling guilt. What a coward. This killer didn't give two fucks about anything and loved the attention eh got. Okay rant done xD
THIS
@@franklinerin5685 period
Don’t watch it
@@Timothee_Chalamet_CMBYN don't support it
really understand that this series could bring back traumatic memories to the victim's families, but as evan peters also said, this show was not made to sympathize with dahmer, nor to tell story from his point of view. but to tell the story of the families and how society failed multiple times to capture that man. The attention this series is getting i hope it ends in a positive way and not just fantasizing the story of a serial killer
I watched the series realized that I needed to approach it with a Great deal of respect. Dahmer’s Victims were People who lived and Loved and were Loved by their friends and Families.
I never knew this happened until I saw the Netflix serie.
I pray for all those souls and their families peace.🙏🏼
I live far away from USA!!!
It's horrible what happened to the victims and the families that have to deal with this tragic BUT why would you wanna relive this by watching the series..if this happen to me, no way I'm hell I would watch something having to relive it
The series should have had more episodes to show more about the victims instead of Dahmer.
She's right. They had no right to do this without warning or telling them.
Thats not true. I feel bad for them but this is news on public record. Besides I watched a made for TV movie about this years ago same exact story but it was only 2 hours so as much detail wasn't included. All of this has been covered a billion times in various documentaries and interviews. The creators of this show don't have to ask anything. Maybe it would have been nice to do so just informing them.
The world doesn’t need to know everything!! These moments are sacred to the families and they’re relationship with their family member was sacred. Not consulting them was disrespectful. I haven’t and won’t watch it. Idc what Netflix says, it’s all about $$$ at the cost of someone else’s pain 😢
They should absolutely consult the families
Imagine if Netflix ACTUALLY CARED about the victims family’s wow how sad
Some of the revenue from the series could go to the families although its significant history and a documentary.
What revenue?
@@anthonycampos8057 you don’t think Netflix made money off of this??
@@ReelNinja1 how?
@@anthonycampos8057 streams & viewership. The streaming services get revenue from views
@@ReelNinja1 I mean you are right and wrong. They dont get money per view, but people have to sub and they see the stats of people seeing the show to see if it did good.
It doesn't matter how much I know about this case or how good the series is. Their families deserved to get informed before doing this. Hope they got rewarded.
Fun fact, glenda in the show was actually 2 real people ( the neighbour of dahmer and a person who called the police several times )which the writers put into one. And in an interview with the real neighbour she said “ I probably have eaten someone “
The victim's families should just not watch the show? I feel for them, but all of this is on public record and not much different than any other video / documentary about Jeffery Dahmer you can find anywhere. There's new ones being released very often, even before this show. This show does not glorify the killer at all. The only reason it's a big deal now is because of how much recognition the show received. It can be a positive light on the whole subject because now, no matter how detailed and gruesome this show may be, a whole new generation knows the names of these victims and is able to honor their name and keep them remembered.
Shut up
Victim family need to get all compensation from this documentary
How horrible what it happened
I agree the studio should have gotten permission from the families before making the series or change the names of the victims and families. But my next question is why would the families want to watch this series, knowing they would relive the trauma of losing their loved ones?
I feel bad for the families but these are all on public records. It's unfortunate but it's hard to draw a line to calll on what should or not should be made. As a sexual assault survivor I avoid any scenes that recall memories, I just don't watch it.
The Netflix series did nothing to tell the stories of the victims of Jeffery Dahmer. What I think it did do, even if it wasnt intentional, was make Dahmer someone to sympathize with ( the scenes of him and his father and the road kill. The scenes of his mother and fathers toxic and abusive relationship). Its like they wanted us to go " well its not entirely his fault because his parents.... His mother was really.... His childhood....."
Looking at the result of this series, the feedback from the victims family, the memes, the thirsting that people are doing for Dahmer(Peter Evans) its safe to say that they did more bad than good. I agree with most of the comments saying that Netflix should have consulted the families before making the show, i believe this show should not have been made at all.
I had commented this exact same thing without seeing your initial comment. I am so glad to see someone else feels the same way. A documentary would've sufficed rather than the whole cinematics.
@@sonique2255 Im also happy that someone else agrees. Though id like to add, yes i believe the show shouldnt have been made and if it was a documentary it would not have been any better. I can think of six different Dahmer centered movies/series/documentaries right now and while I havent watched all of them, based on media response I can say that while some people are devasted and rightfully angry at the things that Dahmer did, a number of people watch them and end up idolizing Dahmer, making tshirts, mugs, earrings, podcasts and "true crime while doing my makeup" videos.
This is because none of these shows fully focus on the victims. Theres more focus in the spectacle that is Dahmer. His story has been told from so many angles and it hardly ever does what the creators say their trying to do it just creates more fans of serial killers and makes people desensitizes by gruesome murders.
(Sorry if this is long. This series has been making me so angry ever since the first trailer came out + the mocking of the victims that ive been seeing all over social media)
@@ushygushyputhy386 don't apologize at all! I completely agree with everything you just said, and this is the problem we have in society, like you said with people now fantasizing about this man. It's just awful and makes me so angry also.
Why does she say he dont know instead of he doesnt know?
and this tv show is becoming trending everywhere constant reminders all over the internet imagine having to relive that and see your son's death reenacted and how he died plus how the cops failed him
While the backlashes are justified that they re-enacted the events which could deemed distasteful especially without the victims' families' endorsements, I hope that Evan Peters would not be dissed for playing Dahmer.
On another hand, the series serves as a cautionary reminder for us about who we meet online. And be wary about them.
How does the series serve as a cautionary reminder about who we meet online when none of his victims met him online? If anything, it should be a cautionary reminder for who we pick up at bars and clubs.
I understand what you mean! I have to say, since I’ve watched the series I’ve definitely put more thought into not trusting people i just met or meet online too fast, not going to their place right away etc.
Online? He murdered people before the internet existed
I get so aggrivated when it comes to him. That last clip of him knowing exactly who's at fault. Makes me more made that the whole time he had his mind n still did all that disgusting shit.
Didn't know!
I can't imagine
I don’t understand why people would be so excited to watch this series…knowing that what Jeffrey Dahmer did was horrible and disgusting I could never nonononono
I just like the actor who played JD. That's why I watched it
You commented on one of my comments. We are in the SAME vibration. I look at the mind body and spirit like a car. Whatever you put in the car will determine how it runs and its efficiency. Put this kind of demonic trash in your brain and you will get the results. Why on earth would any cretin even make this show glorifying this monster? What about a modicum of decency? The family of the victims? Anything for money. Kanye was spitting facts.
It's funny, the real dahmer most likely never had anything close to a real romantic relationship in his life let alone with a guy he had only known for like a day
He knew Tony Hughes for a year
@@leigako283 But Tony’s mother even said herself that the show’s depiction between Jeff and Tony was fictional. The real story is that Jeffrey lured Tony into his apartment making him think he was going for a modeling gig and he was murdered that same night. They didn’t continuously see each other or have a romantic relationship before Jeffrey snapped and killed him
@@luistorres513 yeah it was fictional because they didn’t have a romantic relationship but they were friends for a year. It was in the documentary and Tony’s friend said that. If you happen to listen to his mother’s statement during the court trial, she read a poem and part of the poem says “I thought you were my friend” it makes sense because they were friends for a year.
Why are families still complaining, if you don't like it don't watch
I can't believe they didn't consult or ask for the families permission prior to the filming. I mean, isn't it the most decent thing they can do at least?
