Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story Express Review by: Jovin Tardif | What On What's Good

American serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer murdered 17 victims between 1978 and 1991.  This biographical crime drama series 'Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story' shows you how it all happened. 

Dahmer also known as the “Milwaukee Monster” would take men home, drug them, dismember them and either keep the body parts as trophies or eat them.  It's really disturbing stuff.  Jeffrey was almost caught on several occasions but somehow managed to slip through the cracks. 

The mini-series also explores how the police handled this situation.  Could law enforcement have prevented these killings?  Should they have acted sooner rather than later?  Eventually, Dahmer gets caught and the police finally searched his apartment.   The stuff they found is unheard of.  In his home, they found bodies decomposing in acid, several heads in a freezer, two skulls, and more.  This finally led to his arrest.

If you want to know more about Jeffrey Dahmer, you might want to check out 'Conversations with a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes' which will debut on Netflix in October.
