The sustained, decades-long interest in Jeffrey Dahmer, of course, is mostly and simply due to the ghastly nature of his crimes, which included necrophilia, cannibalism, and horrendous cranial experiments performed on his unconscious victims. A significant share of the social-media response to “Dahmer” has been condemnatory, with relatives of victims speaking to what they see, understandably, as the inherently exploitative nature of the project. It’s quite possible that “Dahmer”—despite brilliant performances from Nash, Peters, and the great Richard Jenkins as Dahmer’s father, Lionel—has no real justification for its own existence. If it does, it might lie in the stubborn but elusive promise underlying most true crime: that the perpetrator and his acts can be, to some extent, “explained.” Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story [b] is the first season of the American true crime anthology series, Monster, created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan for Netflix, which was released on September 21, 2022. Murphy also serves as showrunner and is an executive producer along with Brennan.

According to Deadline, Monster is expected to span the 60s, 70s, 80s and conclude with Dahmer’s arrest in 1991.

Presenting Dahmer's case in a thoroughly cohesive and provocative way. Jumping around the chronology of the events sheds light on many other controversies. Such as how he could get away with this for so long and his whole ambiguous reasoning for continuing on despite being acutely aware of what monster he had become.

What's more, it was made without the consent of any of the victims' families – and since its release, a number of them have publicly expressed their upset at the show's existence. That has compounded the feeling among many critics that the show isn't simply bad, it is indecent. The Guardian asked "Is Ryan Murphy's Jeffrey Dahmer show the most exploitative TV of 2022?" while an article by Anna Leszkiewicz in the New Statesman, baldly entitled Abolish True Crime, went as far as to suggest that the series proves the genre is "morally indefensible".

However Bartle is again less clear-cut on the rights and wrongs around this issue, given that, as he sees it, the "ethical dilemmas" around platforming a horrific case via a TV drama are not much different from those in crime reporting generally. "[Whatever the medium] there is often a resistance by family members of victims to see something turned into any kind of spectacle that relates to their loved ones and that’s completely natural." On top of that, he says, the public interest in telling and retelling some stories has to be taken into account. In the case of Netflix's Dahmer series, he does believe it meets that public interest bar, given the way it suggests how systemic homophobia and racism underlay the tragedy – and also, that while the story may have told many times over, making it into a fictional drama on a mass market streaming platform necessarily will expose it to different audiences. That's something he has felt first hand from speaking to people since the series' release: "If you'd told me two years ago they're going to make another story about Jeffrey Dahmer, I probably would have been a bit more dismissive in saying 'we've had this story told hundreds of times before in different medium'. But what I've found is that actually there are a lot of people that haven't heard that story before that have now been exposed to it – and I do think there is some benefit to that."
