About the Documentary Series
A sordid docu-series, which of course is to be expected considering the person it revolves around. In three episodes we are given firsthand accounts by the investigators, specialists, and reporters, and we also get to hear the voice of Dahmer himself from tapes of interrogations and evaluative psych sessions.
It is a documentary with some dramatizations, incisive interviews, and a lot of archive footage covering his upbringing, young adulthood, and media footage of the horrifying crimes he perpetrated.
As a documentary: well, it stays true to the in vogue style of the contemporary true-crime genre. It is well produced and edited, counting on a good reconstruction of the events, and providing us with the perspectives of the people involved in the investigations, criminal and clinical.
Release Date
October 7, 2022.
