Reviews (1)
The creators opted to kick things off almost at the end, starting with Dahmer's arrest, and that clicks with me. In this case, doing the classic crime drama build-up wouldn't make much sense since you would already know the outcome. Dahmer, being a well-known serial killer, grabs attention. Occasionally dining on your victims' parts is a surefire way to get public notice. I'm just hoping this doesn't turn into some weird celebration of his life's work, like the vibe I got from the last Ted Bundy film. / Lesson learned: Social conventions can baffle me sometimes, but I have my limits.
