I hope she sues |
+1 Fragile little creeps is a spot-on description. Well done. |

Finished it today. Very gory. Definitely about three episodes too long. I thought it was very empathetic to the victims and their families. Much emphasis on how the police ignored complaints from black and brown people and how they brushed away missing persons reports. There were so many times that JD could have been stopped. The episode about the Deaf man was extremely moving.
People have always been fascinated with true crime and serial killers since the days of Jack the Ripper. |

First it was on the Post's "What to Watch" list, and now they're saying you shouldn't have:

I couldn't care less what some anonymous judgmental harpy thinks about me, or pretty much anything else. Just to clarify. I'll keep what I think of you to myself. |
| Did dahmer really have a 140 plus IQ. The only high IQ serial killer I can think of was that really tall big guy whose name escapes me now |
| The most disturbing part of it for me was how sympathetically he was portrayed. His father seemed to think he was always a victim. I did like learning more about the victims and their families. But it did feel a little “poor Jeffrey” to me. |

I don’t think so We do not fully understand the human psyche Cases like this have most likely happened before and there might even be more like him out there Other issue is police and law enforcement. Cities like Milwaukee fund the police force based on income, not the number of people. So densely populated poor areas have less policing and the little law enforcement that is available is over worked |
Sues for what? It’s public record, nothing to sue for. |
But this kind of was. The victims and their families were a big part of the series. I don’t like true crime. I don’t watch true crime. But I watched this and thought it was well done. I was also happy when it was over. |
DP here and yes, I have a problem with people that watch them because they create an audience for producers who make this stuff. The whole grotesque industry of “true crimes” that involve murders and wretched humans terrorizing and killing other people is twisted. There’s nothing redeeming about this stuff other than some people find it “entertaining”. These are real victims who endured horrific ends and their families coping with the aftermath and having it served up as other peoples’ entertainment. I’m not interested in banning but sure as heck wish there weren’t people who keep this market going. |
I actually find it more repulsive that people watch Lifetime and L&O SVU. Those stories are made for entertainment. I thought this series was more insightful about the victims, society, and law enforcement. It was a docudrama and not just drama. It was also tastefully filmed and we didn’t have to see most of the awful things he did. |
