"This was quite possibly the most frightening and disturbing show I have ever watched. Evan Peters BETTER receive an Emmy for his performance as Dahmer. The acting, cinematography, and soundtrack made this show extremely intense, but incredible. Watch it if you enjoy true crime," someone else said.
"I know the history of Jeffrey Dahmer pretty well, but this show on Netflix is still disturbing as hell. Evan Peters is phenomenal," another added, while many more stressed how "dark" and "twisted" the show is compared to others.
