    This is a slow burn that assumes you’re somewhat familiar with this case. Most of the stress in “Episode One” worked for this critic because I knew what was coming. If I didn’t, there’s a chance this somber pacing drift into boring territory instead of being quietly terrifying.

    Monster rarely shoots for dark humor in its depiction of the man’s heinous acts, which is for the best. But while the subject is treated with the seriousness it deserves, I found myself craving a wider range of tone.

    Terrible direction and a focus on fictional events and lines from a historic event. Added fictional scenes of police ready to grab their gunsTerrible direction and a focus on fictional events and lines from a historic event. Added fictional scenes of police ready to grab their guns on Tracy Edwards while removing the actual event of them trying to help him remove the cuffs. Inventing fake scenes of the neighbour yelling and making a scene when Dahmer was arrested as if she tried to warn them, really take away what should have been an interesting show. Once again Netflix takes a story or event, and changes it for the worse.… Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Show is okay but it is not historically accurate. The black neighbor did not live next door, but next building. Netflix also trying to inject woke content into the show depicting the police as racist and homophobic when in reality, even Jeffrey admitted he didn't target blacks because police doesn't care, but just that he liked black people. It's disgusting how the show make Jessie Jackson as a good person when he just exploits tragedies to gain political power.… Full Review »
