Hola amigos, hoy quiero darles mi punto de vista sobre esta serie que recién termine de ver, la verdad no soy de hacer muchos reviews de serie o películas, pero realmente sentí que esto lo merecía, quienes me conocen muy bien saben que me encanta y siento un fascinación por estos temas sobre asesinos seriales y es que me intriga mucho el poder entender porque paso, que fue lo que salió mal para que una persona llegase a ser cosas tan despiadadas, me intriga saber sus pensamientos, su manera de actuar, sus problemas mentales o traumas, es bastante interesante, he visto varios documentales en Netflix de esta temática, pero desde hace unas semanas me entere del estreno de Dahmer, una serie de Netflix protagonizada por el maravilloso Evan Peters, personificando a uno de los monstros mas temidos de Milwaukee.
Netflix delights us with a series inspired by a serial killer, a person who paralyzed the world and who remains in history to this day, Jeffrey Dahmer rings again this 2022 and reminds us that human beings can be really cruel. Hello friends, today I want to give you my point of view on this series that I just finished watching, the truth is that I am not one to do many series or movie reviews, but I really felt that this deserved it, those who know me very well know that I love it and I feel a fascination for these issues about serial killers and it is that I am very intrigued to understand why it happened, what went wrong for a person to become such ruthless things, I am intrigued to know their thoughts, their way of acting, their problems or trauma, it's quite interesting, I've seen several documentaries on Netflix on this subject, but a few weeks ago I found out about the premiere of Dahmer, a Netflix series starring the wonderful Evan Peters, personifying one of the most feared monsters of Milwaukee.

Jeffrey Dahmer was a serial killer, committing his first murder in 1978 and in the years to come he would continue to murder a total of 17 men and teenagers, not only murdering them, but also preserving them, photographing their corpses, even eating them. , all this in his small apartment in a building in a "dangerous" and cheap area, the neighbors felt strange smells coming from Jeffrey's house but despite all the alarms, it was never possible to prevent those 17 lives from being taken. The series represents everything exactly, only a little less graphically, however, the context and the development of the story makes you understand everything that is happening. Since the series begins I felt a kind of chills because of the resemblance of Evan Peters, which I admire a lot and even more after this magnificent performance, the first time I saw him was in the American Horror Story series and from that moment I loved it As an actor, these psychopath roles fit him perfectly, I imagine all the work behind that personification to be able to do everything perfectly.

Desde el primer capitulo quedas atrapado, la historia se cuenta con saltos de tiempo y hay que estar atento para entender la cronología de todo, en el episodio uno comienza el arresto de Dahmer y a mitad del capitulo comienza su intento de asesinato hacia la única victima que pudo salir con vida de ese apartamento, esta escena fue super buena porque sentí la tensión de la situación, nervios, ansiedad, es extremadamente tensa, a partir de aquí comienza entonces la historia vemos donde pequeñas partes de la infancia y adolescencia de Jeffrey
From the first chapter you are trapped, the story is told with time jumps and you have to be attentive to understand the chronology of everything, in episode one Dahmer's arrest begins and in the middle of the chapter his assassination attempt begins towards the only victim who was able to get out of that apartment alive, this scene was super good because I felt the tension of the situation, nerves, anxiety, it's extremely tense, from here the story begins then we see where small parts of Jeffrey's childhood and adolescence

The scenes of his childhood/adolescence made me think a lot about what event would really be what made his compartment like that, there were so many things that it is impossible to deduce exactly what it was, in the story we see a little Jeffrey who has a quite family life dysfunctional, his mother has depression and never gives attention and affection to her son, his father often runs away from home to avoid his wife and little Jeffrey always feels alone, while his father teaches him a bit of taxidermy, this makes Jeffrey finally interested in something, this could be perhaps another trigger for what was coming in the future. We could also think that what really caused that behavior would be something in his brain, but Jeffrey's father did not allow his son's brain to be studied, we will never really know what happened. The performances of Jeffrey's parents are so real that it even gives importance, anger, sadness and compassion, I really have many mixed feelings with this series and I find it hard to believe that this is real, although it is a story that I read a long time ago, it is Amazing how sometimes reality is stranger than fiction.

Although the story focuses on Jeffrey, we also see how part of the lives of some of his victims, their families, and the aftermath that he left after all his crimes came to light, images of the trial against Jefrrey that are really shocking because they are identical to the images of the real trial, it gave me a lot of chills when one of the sisters of the victims yelled at Dahmer and threatened him, I felt that pain as if it were the real trial, they chose people physically quite similar to the victims, I made several comparisons and I was quite surprised with the resemblance, something that is also quite similar is the whole stage, mainly Dahmer's house, they represented it quite similar to the original house, they really did an excellent job to set us up to be in Jeffrey's skin and their victims.


And what is most impotence is to see how the police, despite the signs, never did anything, Dahmer's neighbor alerted the officers on several occasions of everything she heard in her neighbor's apartment, they even had the opportunity to save Jeffrey's youngest victim, 14 years old, but they couldn't even do that, they talk about racism and the little importance they gave to this woman's complaints just because it was a neighborhood where many people of color used to live, definitely justice never It has been perfect, not only in these cases do they make this type of mistake, we have seen many throughout history, especially when we study these cases of serial killers in depth.
In this story you can see the whole life of this murderer and even come to understand or empathize with him at certain moments, but then you remember that this was real, that everything we see here happened, that it can happen now or at any time, that it can happen to you or to a friend or family member and that's when you enter into a conflict, everything is really quite well told, the chronology of the scenes allows you to understand well how everything is developing, you feel disgust and repulsion and at the same time admiration for what a great job they did bringing us this series, pretty good performances that make you feel like you're there. Personally, when I finished watching the series I felt quite strange, I already knew the story but it was much more interesting to see it on screen, I could feel sadness for Jeffrey who was a person who could never be someone normal and who finally died feeling the pain of all the lives that I start, I could feel the rage of seeing how a person can be so cruel, how justice did not do its job, how so many tragedies could be avoided, innocent people who were simply looking for a night of adventure and ended up dead and collected by Jeffrey Dahmer . Previously there was already a production based on this serial killer starring Ross Lynch, which I haven't seen yet but I know it focuses more on Jeffrey's adolescence.
There really is a lot to tell, too much information about this case reflected in this series but if I tell them all it would take three days to do it haha. If you like this type of subject like me, I really recommend you watch it, it's very worthwhile and also compare the situations and scenarios so you can enjoy the impeccable work they did for this series, I really liked it and I give it a 10/10.
