The series is excellent, with a very well-crafted script and the transitions between past and future are done so skillfully, the narrative constantly shifts, leaving you wondering what really happened.

Es muy buena pero aún le falta más profundidad

Evan Peters does a new "American Horror Story" tum dum pss. No, but seriously, a killer performance! tum dum pss. Okay, "mood short review": Every frame, every frame, coldly calculated. You have to have the stomach to watch it, because it's a show with very explicit violence, and in my humble opinion because it's based on real events, it's even more macabre. It's a good insight into who Jeffrey Dahmer was and "why he was". Give it a "shot"... I promise you will be scared to "death".

The audio-visual language level is completely film-level

"Quick Silver" is GOOD, with its excellent acting skills, it successfully interprets the image of a demon in the world, calm, perverted, fragile, honest, and lonely. . The narrative is very organized, and the image of the devil and its harmful effects are pieced together from the perspectives of the devil, bystanders, and victims. In terms of story arrangement, some are relying on Freud's childhood trauma theory, but in the end, the inner secrets of the "monster" are unexplorable.

Great

Five stars call ep6, very similar to HBO's high maintenance, it makes people sad, really sad, deaf, black, gay, but they are so active and lush vitality, silent film display is very soft, but expresses the desire to take other people's lives Extremely cruel. In the first five episodes, it is easy to enter Dahmer's perverted perspective according to the way of criminal psychology. The ep6 episode was unable to bear the lightness of life, and then turned to the perspective of public safety, Dahmer's transformation was downgraded, the environment's response to him, and the reflection of the people around him, compared with the frivolity of the first five episodes, thick and humane, this is "We and The Distance of Evil cannot be compared. The second episode used real recordings from the police station back then, and the reality adaptation did not lose the tension of the fiction. Evan easily handles the role, but loses out to Darren Criss and Finn Wittrock, who are equally evolved. in a word, good story

Revealing

The heavy-tasting scene is actually not as scary as imagined, but the whole show will indeed be very depressing. No wonder black friends in real life say they will never trust the US government coz it reveal the fact

good shooting

The case is told from many angles. When the tragedy happened, Dahmer didn't see how hard it was, and his father even took it as a business opportunity. Irresponsible cops are commended for harassing victims' families. The families of the victims, as well as those who have always been shrouded in the shadow of the incident, have been suffering. There are always people who treat the case as a joke, too dull and cold to see the suffering of the group behind it.every educating!

THRILLING

It is true that he is born abnormal, and the family may also have part of the reason. A moment of silence for the victims. But I don't agree with the judge at the end. I think it is very important to find the reason why Damer is like this, and it can be a warning to future generations. In the end, the leading actor is really good, he is really perverted.it's thrilling

La miniserie de Ryan Murphy e Ian Brennan para Netflix no es simplemente otra crónica de un asesino serial; es un estudio clínico sobre la omisión institucional y el fracaso sistémico. Evan Peters entrega la que es, sin duda, la actuación de su carrera. Su interpretación de Jeffrey Dahmer no busca la empatía, sino que se sumerge en una frialdad catatónica que resulta mucho más aterradora que cualquier grito histriónico. Peters logra capturar esa "normalidad banal" que permitió a Dahmer operar a plena vista durante más de una década.

A diferencia de otras producciones que glorifican la inteligencia del asesino, esta serie elige un camino más valiente y asfixiante:
La Perspectiva de las Víctimas: El guion acierta al dedicar episodios enteros (como el desgarrador capítulo de Tony Hughes) a humanizar a quienes fueron silenciados, devolviéndoles una identidad más allá de ser un número en un informe forense.
La Crítica Social: La serie funciona como un espejo incómodo para la policía de Milwaukee de los años 80 y 90. Se subraya cómo el racismo sistémico y la homofobia actuaron como cómplices involuntarios, permitiendo que las llamadas de auxilio de vecinos como Glenda Cleveland (una espectacular Niecy Nash) fueran ignoradas sistemáticamente.

Sin embargo, no podemos ignorar la estética "Murphy". La cinematografía, saturada de tonos amarillentos y sepias, crea una atmósfera de putrefacción visual que es brillante pero, a ratos, bordea la explotación del trauma. Existe una tensión constante entre el deseo de denunciar la injusticia y el riesgo de convertir el horror real en un producto de entretenimiento estilizado para el binge-watching.
Veredicto Final
"Dahmer" es una serie técnicamente impecable, con un diseño de producción que recrea la decadencia urbana de forma visceral. Es necesaria para entender cómo el privilegio y la negligencia pueden crear un vacío donde el mal prospera, pero es una experiencia agotadora que exige al espectador preguntarse: ¿Hasta qué punto nuestra fascinación por lo macabro respeta la memoria de los que ya no están?
