Dahmer: Monster – The Jeffrey Dahmer Story is now Netflix’s second most popular series of ALL TIME.

If you haven’t watched the Dahmer series on Netflix yet, you’re more than likely one of the few.

Jeffrey Dahmer is played by the one and only Evan Peters, who is a legendary favorite for fans of American Horror Story.

The actor portrays Dahmer so well… almost too well.

Peters stars as the infamous serial killer in the series, which showcases the disturbing murders of Dahmer’s victims.

Dahmer was a murderer, a pedophile, a rapist, a cannibal, and a necrophiliac.

He ate his victims, had sex with them while they were unconscious and dead, chopped up their bodies, preserved their bones and organs, ate the meat, and performed other rituals. He frequently targeted gay men, with black people being the primary target.

He would boil their bodies in acid and flush their remains down the toilet.

Murder after murder, Dahmer got away with each and every one…

One victim, in particular, named Steven Hicks, was murdered in the Ambassador Hotel. Dahmer murdered him in the hotel room, stuffed his body in a suitcase, and checked out of the room as though nothing happened.

The cleaning crew and staff, so it seems, did not stumble across a drop of blood or any other disturbing evidence in that hotel room…

Dahmer killed 17 people in a short period of time in the small town of Milwaukee.

He was arrested four times prior to his final arrest in 1991 for the murder of his victims. The deeper you dive into his story, the crazier it gets.

The Netflix show showcases over 10 instances where Dahmer was almost arrested but ultimately let go.

The show highlights the level of incompetency of the police force which evidently failed to take the proper measures against Dahmer in multiple instances throughout the years prior to his arrest.

The Ryan Murphy series has become Netflix’s second most popular series of all time, behind the fourth season of Stranger Things.

In its third week, the Dahmer series continued to top Netflix’s global Top 10 English TV List with another 205.33 MILLION hours viewed.

This takes it to 701.37 MILLION hours viewed in its first 3 weeks after racking up 196.2M hours watched in its first week and 299.84M hours viewed during its second week.

Jeffrey Dahmer was finally caught in 1991 after Tracy Edwards, a man who was being held captive by Dahmer, escaped his apartment and ran into two Milwaukee police offers. He told them a “freak” placed him in handcuffs and then the police went back to investigate what had happened. They ultimately found evidence in various forms, from the polaroid Dahmer had taken of his victims to the strange barrel that was filled with acid, and the decapitated head in his fridge.

The police discovered a blood-soaked mattress and tools such as a saw and hammer with which Dahmer would mutilate his victims.

The court did not find Jeffrey Dahmer INSANE!

If Jeffrey Dahmer is not insane, then what constitutes an insane person? 

Despicable explicit Polaroid photos showed Dahmer engaging in sex acts with the bodies of some of his dead victims, and others showed naked corpses in different poses. Some were cut open, others were mutilated, and others were too bloody and vile to describe.

Dahmer took photos of his victims because he “wanted to keep them as mementos to keep him company”, according to The American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, in 1994. He took pictures of his victims at various stages during their murders so he could “recollect each act afterward and relive the experience”, according to Biography.
