Evan Peters is in it? Sweet!
Peters popularity is on the rise and he is well liked.
He has been very lucky with AHS and working alongside acting masters such as Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates and not to mention the brilliant Sarah Paulson, he would have been able to learn and absorb a lot to hone his own skills.
Peters is Dahmer here and fully immersed in the role without any head space pretense.

I'll definitely put that on my list then!
Thank you.
I agree about Even Peters. He's taken the opportunity and did not get typecast before it was too late. (I say that as he's playing Dahmer, how ironic), but he was in X-Men, and he's branched out. He has a great countenance and as you pointed out, he spent a great deal of time around some acting legends.

I ventured into Dahmer with much trepidation. It is a truly sickening subject matter. I needn't have worried. It was handled very very carefully and knew what to show, what not to show and how to show it.
The layers and themes are very relevant too. It offered insight into something that I already had notions about, but put them into a more believable context, especially regarding my own judgement about his upbringing.

Evan Peters is so good in this
I'm sold! I love him. The one redeeming quality Dahmer had was that he didn't lie and say he was innocent like so many other killers do
He knew what he was, and he wasn't proud of it… very cruel, horrible person. He was a drunk and that probably enabled him to do the things he did

He even said he should be dead for what he has done upon his arrest.
He knew what he was, and he wasn't proud of it… very cruel, horrible person.
He seemed to lack some sort of emphatic quality that denied him the insight to see how far his actions created a ripple effect on those that knew the victims. Total and complete psychopath that couldn't help himself.
That he waited 9 yrs after his first victim, the boozing would have been partly to numb the conscience, although I don't believe he really felt guilt over his actions, just that he knew he did terrible horrendous things.

His father said that Jeff's mother had seizures when she was carrying him
Could that have affected him? He certainly wasn't normal, and people can't help but wonder why some end up being crazed killers
