DAHMER - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story | Evan Peters On The Complexity Of Playing Dahmer
/ netflix
Across more than a decade, 17 teen boys and young men were murdered by convicted killer Jeffrey Dahmer. How did he evade arrest for so long?
The fact that he had so many chances to get caught but the system failed is very heartbreaking and frustrating
I think that's the real story.
Murica at its best😉 till now .
Unfortunately thats exactly how he got away with it for so long. He was a white male taking homosexual people of color of the streets and the racist/homophobic police and society in general at the time just let it be.
It’s also sad that people like @agirlandagame and @jazzyguns actually support people like Jeffrey dahmer to this day. So sad.
It’s because he was white am white and this is sad 😢 they really don’t look at us
Evan Peters will win every award available. His portrayal of Jeff Dahmer is surreal because it feels so real. As the horror story unfolds you have to keep reminding yourself that this really happened and the Police were really that bad in not getting Dahmer many years earlier. This series is like a bolt-on to Mindhunter, but way more graphic.
He should win every award available. He was absolutely amazing. It's not very often that I think 'Wow, that was an amazing performance' when it comes to actors, but that was an amazing performance. And I'm not a fan, this is the first thing I've ever seen him in.
Loved Mindhunter, so will definitely see this one.
I think Richard Jenkins deserves the most awards.
Great actor but quite a few inconsistencies and fabrications.
he should win for this!
Evan Peters is a rare actor, he really cares about being able to portray a character to the best of his abilities by going into maximum amounts of studies without getting distracted.
@Aa A nah evan gets an A- he did amazing the perfect role for Jeffrey theres only tiny things that couldve been improved
@@Elutai agreed even though there’s alot more to Dahmers story they did a pretty good “ Long story short” on this mini series
Maybe because he's an actor and that's his job duh!!
@@jrviade85 I guess you’re more uninformed than you look, you realize how many actors don’t actually study who they’re playing but rather just do as instructed since they already have the job under lock because of their name?
When he has to play a role, he focuses a lot, which is what makes him a great actor. 🤍
The fact that Evan Peters can look so soft/kind in real life but then completely change when acting- it’s just immaculate acting!
You could see this soft side on this show when he sometimes smiled with his dimples showing. I think they did right choosing him for the role coz Dahmer as himself was having this really weak, softie part that overcompensates with his evil side when he let it taking over. Evan played that so well.
He’s an actor. It’s literally his job to do that. People who can’t do that are just bad actors.
@@lioneljonson161 dude calm down
@@xoxluna hush now sweetheart, the grown ups are talking.
@@lioneljonson161 shut up you aren’t in charge
His performance was brilliant, but the actor portraying Lionel Dahmer (Richard Jenkins) also definitely deserves praise. The scene where he’s informed about his son’s detainment (episode 1), where you see him slowly breaking down while trying to keep a hold of himself - goosebumps!
100% - it’s like he’s fighting between breaking down and throwing up simultaneously. Phenomenal actor
Totally agree too, both performances were absolutely outstanding. I was in awe of their skills!
True!
Yes!
literally i got emotional from some of his scenes
I can confidently say there was no one better than Evan Peters to play this role. He is just amazing at everything he does.
I agree Evan is amazing but Ross Lynch also did a fantastic portrayal in My Friend Dahmer
@@mayci4824 no he didnt
@@mayci4824 I agree, Ross was definitely a better role for the younger version of dahmer and peters is better for when he’s older
*Actor of our generation!!!*
Tobey Maguire would've been the ideal pick if they made this in the early 2000s
Honestly, I hope Evan is doing okay now after such a terrifying role and the need to subject himself to the chillingness of interviews with Dahmer himself. I also hope the victim's families are doing alright after this.
That’s actually what are a lot of people are saying. I’m sure he is doing more than okay. Just think about the hell he put himself through for the role in AHS: Cult. He can definitely overcome some demons for sure. Evan Peters is honestly such a blessing to have in our lifetime, He’s pure talent & art.
I mean, no...the victim's families probably aren't doing ok. Nor is Dahmer's family. I like Peters so I clicked to see what he has to say but I haven't watched the show. I think it's bizarre to keep dragging this story out. Seems disrespectful and insensitive despite what he says and despite any efforts to not make it so.
@@Maialeen lmfao shut up! This is real life and even these young idiots NEED to see what this world and what people are capable of! So yes, tell this and all the other stories over and over again! Drill it into their young minds so they know what unfortunate real life can be 🤷♂️
@@Maialeen I was looking for this comment! I find it very sad that the Dahmers family got paid but none of the victims families got paid nor did Netflix tell them that they'd make a series about JD. The most offensive part for me is that Netflix said they'd do this series for the victims and families to see their point of view then why did they not tell them in advance? Again Netflix is such disrespectful and They keep doing projects for Cash. -My advice don't spend Money on Netflix.
@@Maialeen get over it ! and guess what season 2 is on the way cry more
Literally SCREAMED when Evan won the Golden Globe for this. He deserved it soooooo much after such a haunting performance
But why he doesn’t even know u exist lol
its not important !
@@Ramsey14lyfgirl what
If he doesn’t get a award for his acting, I’m gonna be pissed. This was absolutely amazing!!
dont you know that the emmys doesnt give awards to good actors
@@jaxmanchez ahahah yeah I know 🙄🙄
awards only for zendaya how cringe
@@nataliecojetidotoho2974 she’s trash 🥴
@@nataliecojetidotoho2974 How is that cringe
The dude has become one of the greatest actors of this era. You give him a role and he'll be award worthy. The attention to detail, voices, and mannerisms is about as authentic as it gets. You feel these scenes deep and tend to forget you're watching a show. Bravo man you're killing it!
They better stop snubbing him.
i was just saying this to my husband last night about him. from the change if his voice the way he walks his posture and the way he holds the accent through every portrayed emotion. He really is an amazing actor and very under rated.
I just said that same thing. Evan Peters did a phenomenal job with Dahmer’s accent and how he walks. It had to be rough playing him but he did really well.
He nailed the character dead on. I kept saying why is he so monotone but then watching the actual videos he literally is monotone is everything he talks of
@GarTree 'terribly written shows', do you mean AHS, where he appeared every series as a different character, and played them all *so* well that you forget about previous ones and get immersed in his performance? AHS was *brilliantly* written too
evan peters was phenomenal. his acting felt so real, it genuinely looked like he was insane, goosebumps. but i’ve also gotta hand it to Richard Jenkins who played lionel dahmer. his acting felt incredibly real too, him and evans acting together felt so authentic and truly felt the sadness and pain throughout the people they’re playing. those two truly embodied those characters it was absolutely spectacular. emmeys, both of them. chills.
Blew me away. That acting was able to take me places I've never seen before in a person. Evan actually nailed the voice too, the mannerisms, everything.
His acting was seriously phenomenal he deserves every single award and imagine how mentally strong he had to be throughout this whole thing props to him
Dude it was 30 years ago. You don't have to be mentally strong now. Lol you people are sooooooo soft. Do you watch horror movies lol do they need to be mentally strong to murder children in a movie nooooooooooo its called acting.
You mean how demonic he had to be.
@@DavidBryant Evan Peters himself isnt demonic but the extend he had gone to play the role of Jeffery Dahmer who was clearly such a terrible yet disturbing person and he was able to show all of that perfectly
Facts
Totes agreed ❤
This guy is an absolute beast of an actor. Criminally underrated. He’s insanely good at what he does.
AMEN!!!!!
Agreed, so under rated, I have been a fan of his since American Horror Story, just sad he has never really had the opportunity to shine until this. So talented and he stays so under the radar, does not seek the Hollywood attention that most strive. He acts for the craft not the Glory.
Evan Peters, Robert Sheehan, Cameron Monaghan are my 3 favourite actors been watching them all for 10+ years while nobody knew who most of them were, I remember Peters in never back down first time i saw him in anything , But it was american horror story that i learned to love him as an actor id watch anything hes in
Top 3 facts of all time
frr
I love it when an actor understands the entire project and not just their lines. You can tell how much work was put in.
Evan Peters deserves all the praises and awards for this. He is literally always taking these challenges and protraying then in the best ways. And this one was actually a real serial killer! He is so admirable and multifaceted, hope to see him in a comedy like sleep over again to make a relief from all those crazy characters. I adore him so much and won't love to see him affected again like in the past.
I can’t believe how accurate Evan peters does his voice in this series. It sounds just like him from the interviews. This man is so talented.
MY EXACT THOUGHTS OMG!!!!!
I said the exact same thing!
The way he said ‘Kenosha’ in episode 2 I was like, “Yup! He’s got it. He’s secretly a Wisconsinite” 😂
cause evan is from Missouri, so the midwestern accent is pretty much the same with little differences here and there
He's extremely talented.. While I loved watching him over the years on AHS, I'm glad to see him finally get a serious role that gives him due recognition from people outside of the AHS fanbase.. He was perfect for Dahmer.
And the Emmy goes to...
... another glorified serial killer. Welcome to the US 😉
Period!
I just saw the series 💯 he must get an award🏆
Yes!
- I'm praying for this moment 🙏
I just finished Dahmer on Netflix and hes done a terrific job of portraying the monster that was Jeffery Dahmer. When he was telling the neighbour to eat the sandwich was full on scary 😳. Great actor 10/10
Oh yeah that scene was palpable. You could feel the creeps even when he’s acting nice. If Im Glenda I’d probably get out of there as soon as I could but I understand these people lived there coz it’s hella cheap
I felt soooo bad and scared during that scene 🫢
I finished the series yesterday. This actor performed beyond words. An Oscar wouldn't be enough, I'd say.
Emmys right
It's amazing how he managed to make you feel the fear in the room just by existing in a scene. Without even talking. He captivated the emotion amazingly. When he went to his neighbors apartment with the sandwich . Gave me chills. He deserves big recognition for this role.
That scene really was intense and gave me chills too.
I agree also, I felt such intense anxiety watching that scene. Haven't felt that watching anything for a while. I was genuinely on the edge of my seat, filled with nausea and dread (as dramatic as that sounds 😅) 😱
He also paid an emotional price doing this role. I'm not so sure doing these kinds of movies is good. You all know some budding serial killer will watch this 1000 times. It encourages the next serial killer to want his 15 minutes of fame and maybe even his own movie.
If someone kept telling me to eat a sandwich when I keep saying no then I would've already thrown it away or have it as evidence
@@SpaghettiElieYes Indeed 😂😂😂
This show is so uncomfortable and chilling you can feel the tension, you can feel the pain of the victims, you can feel the anger from everyone involved and I’m so proud of Evan Peters!!!
You're prideful of some strange stuff.
@@Odd_Combo What? All he said is he's proud of the actor that played Dahmer. You read into his comment way too much.
i felt so angry everytime he was on screen. the actor did splendid indeed
@@raradinevali Me too. I hated his character so freaking much. It felt like I was witnessing the real Dahmer commit those horrendous crimes and I couldn't do nothing about it! That's pure talent right there!
Actor so good that it almost made me sympathize with dahmer !!
He better get an Emmy for this performance.... people need to look passed who he's playing and how he played it....such a great actor.
Oh yeah he fs deserves every award after this omg
They don't give Oscars for Netflix shows. They only give Oscars for movies on the big screen. It would have to be the Emmy awards. I saw the Emmy awards and unfortunately Evan Peters did not win, but fortunately Niecy Nash won for Best Supporting Actress. But at least he got the Golden Globe award. I think he should have got the Emmy also. His performance was superb.
Terrible to think that he won’t get an Oscar for this Oscar worthy performance. He truly lived, breathed, and put everything he had into this character. I had to watch this to remind myself that Evan is his own real person and not the Monster he portrayed because it felt that real! 😂
He could get an Emmy, Golden Globe, the SAG, and maybe People's Choice awards tho. Good luck to him. I hope he gets his flowers. He's earned it.
same happened here. I had to watch a normal interview like this one from this actor just to remind myself he is not a killer. In other words, great fkg performance by Evan.
He better get a emmy or sag award
Why can’t he receive one?
@@kairenmadry-hall6124 Monster: The Jeff Dahmer Story is a series, so it’s only eligible for television awards. The Academy Awards, or Oscars, are reserved specifically for film achievements. :(
Ever since AHS, I've been rooting for him. I hope he gets bigger and bigger roles. He is an amazing actor. Underrated somehow, still, imo.
Right! Love him as an actor! He truely gives his all to the characters he plays!
He is so underrated. He's a perfect villain or a perfect hero... such a talent! I don't know how can he change his eyes from romantic to evil, but he does it. I'll be here to watch him in any role...
More like since Phil of the Future
He will, he did a gay role so his career going to reach new heights!
he won an emmy. 🙆♂️🏆
Evan Peters is a high tier actor who doesn’t get enough credit for his skills as an actor. He is incredible in this role and every role he plays are always great. I hope he gets the respect that he’s earned over the years. One of the best series I’ve ever watched
I'm watching this show cuz it gives me the ahs vibes and he killed it just like always
but for his dahmer role he get alot of credit
Totally! I think what he achieved in American horror story is absolutely stunning. He played a psychopath 4 times and did so unbelievable good
I think allot of people respect him for what he did with american horror story. Everyone I see reguards him as a great actor
Yeah he’s cold as ice in this show. Very scary character and he does it so well
You nailed this Evan. What an artist. 👏 loved your work...
I think Quentin Tarantino needs to seriously consider this man for his next/final movie. Evan Peters, yet again, proves how absolutely phenomenal he is. His acting range is extremely good. When you close your eyes and listen to Evan.. It's Jeff. Dude made props for going to the mental places you had to, and obviously did, in order to give it justice. Absolutely fabulous. All the supporting cast members? Amazing amazing amazing. Great job to everyone involved. This is Evan's Picasso. What a masterpiece.
Evan deserves an Oscar, this must have been a very difficult role to play, and he did fantastic.
He will not get an Oscar for this but an Emmy for sure
From the voice, to the walk, to many other details. He knocked it out the park.
It’s called an Emmy. Oscars are for movies. I’m surprised by the likes you got on this on the amount of people that don’t know this.
He will get an Emmy Austin butler will hopefully get the Oscar for leading male role 🙏
@@lolltaylor 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ep. 6 "Silenced" really crushed me emotionally. It was the first time we saw in-depth one of the victims living their everyday lives and how much they were loved by their friends/family. Tony had dreams and a full life to live. Ugh... I'm still so sad about it.
Lol. Pure fantasy. The entire episode was all contrived. None of that happened. Only the murder.
@@misterbobo8139 I'm aware...and??? The episode did what it was meant to. These people had lives. Families that loved them. It made me see the victims as more than just victims. Still makes me sad in spite of your efforts to downplay the story. Bye.
@@sierradougie8559 I have no doubt that the guy's backstory was accurate or fairly accurate, but the boyfriend relationship was fiction.
@@scottyb.8710 I don't know about boyfriend relationship, but it was well known that Dahmer knew and hung out with one of the victims for years before they were murdered.
That episode broke my heart as well..
I know Evan Peters is gonna go big and do lot of roles that are controversial but this one hits. I’m happy that he had support from the crew he deserves every praise for playing Dahmer. It takes a mental toll to take on someone who portrays a serial killer that committed dark crimes. The fact that he said we are not giving Dahmer’s POV says a lot and respect to the families; Evan Peters is a treasure
I love Evan but what the hell is he talking about here? Dahmer said on multiple occasions that he picked his victims based on what he was attracted to and he just so happens to be attracted to black guys the most. Why does everything have to be about race in America? They even made out like Glenda was some important character when she wasn’t even his neighbour in real life and never heard or saw the things they claim in the show. Just more race baiting in Hollywood again..😞
@@Thaisbluesky He’s gay, he doesn’t want you..
He already has lol
except this show shows absolutely no respect to the families
@@baypatterson209 And they focused on Dahmer's POV more than once. Unlike what Evan said.
His acting is phenomenal and he plays every part he plays absolutely brilliantly. He played this part so well, felt so real and very chilling.
He says their one rule was to not have it from Dahmers pov and they absolutely nailed that. I think that's what caused the feelings of anxiety, nervousness, and suspense the most was seeing it the way his victims did. Evan was beyond brilliant in this.
It'd s really good series, was expecting nothing less from Evan but the show in general is really good
That’s weird cause it actually gave an interesting point of view from Dahmer as well and why he committed his crimes
Evan Peter is becoming a prolific actor.
As some one who started out with silence of the lambs at age 3 I’m a huge horror/film noir fan and it’s rare at 36 to find something that makes me uncomfortable viewing this within the first 20 minutes had my skin crawling it was amazingly executed from the editing the score the set designs nailed it the continuity was paid close attention to it was just very well made
Yes! I have watch so many things about Dahmar and have NEVER felt the feelings I felt with this series! Specifically, the first scene. My stomach was in knots as if I was the victim or witnessing it first hand. Absolutely terrifying and they didn’t have to use an excessive amount of gore and violence. Evan Peters is a brilliant actor, I just hope he has so much support. I know AHS messed with his head, I would imagine this would be the same.
He definitely deserves an Emmy. It was like watching Dahmer himself. He put his heart and soul in this role.
yes yes yes yes! I cant get over how well he can portray these characters. phenomenal
He will need therapy after this movie
@Blake Crumpler I mean diving deep into detail of what he did can affect you, then to I’m sure method act and try to be him as much as you really can. I’m sure it takes a toll on your mental health.
When he had the contact lenses tho!!
His heart and many others..😝
Evans attention to details with this character is incredible accent, little expressions... The fact that he genuinely dives so deep in to character deserves so much praise. Ryan Murphy also choosing to do it from different perspectives worked so well. So well done absolutely couldn't have picked someone better . Outstanding !!!! 💓
I’ve met Evan in person and he’s so nice and humble ❤
This was some of the best acting I’ve ever seen. Evan is the perfect cast to any film / show for these wonky, crazy characters. He just knows how to portray them and act perfectly.
He's simply a really actor, he does such an amazing job in everything he's in!
I was amazed by his performance. I'll be watching more things from him.
He is one of the best actor of his generation without any debat
Such a great actor, it literally put me in the moment each time. Perfect guy for this role.
Fr
Evan deserves an award for this portrayal. Same goes to Richard Jenkins. Both of those guys were phenomenal in this show. Give those two an award
I agree, but I would also add Niecy Nash to the list. She blew me away, as I had only ever known her as Denise Hemphill of Secure Enforcement Solutions on “Scream Queens.”
True❤
Richard jenkins !!!!!! He was soooo goood! He broke my heart so many times on this show watching a father who genuinely and unconditionally loves his son go through this horror that his child has committed.. man. He was good.
Yes, Richard Jenkins was excellent in this.
He definitely deserves more than 1 award for this performance!
This is exactly the type of project I've been waiting to see Evan Peters on, It's amazing he finally is able to get true attention to his talent, such an underrated actor of our generation
I'm watching this series, and he really made the role so realistic
I've watched Evan Peters since American Horror Story, and you can just see how fantastic a Actor he is. Im so glad people are finally noticing his talent
I've been blown away when I first noticed him in 2011.. since American Horror Story as well...
his role in ahs was so good he never disappoints
Omg that’s where I know him from lol wow
Me too but I’m also sad because now there’s more fans haha

There are few actors like Evan Peters. His work truly is a character study.
💗💗💗
I first knew him from his role in never back down
Jeremy Renner did a fantastic job as Dahmer. More people need to watch the movie. I'm not saying Evan did a poor job, because he didn't, but I do suggest also watching Renner's portrayal of Dahmer.
@@Itsyourboy_ray Fr, OGs remember him as Max 😤

frr!! it takes a lot out of a person to play such a role like that... he better get one
Both even Peters and the actor who played Jeffrey dahma’s father absolutely embodied these characters! Their performances were outstanding!
This guy literally made me extremely uncomfrotable even though I knew I was just watching a show. He brought the horror to real life and I can tell you right now, not many can give you that daunting experience through a screen. Incredible acting from Peters, deserves an oscar and his acting is extremely chilling. Absolutely terrifying.
*Emmy. Oscars are for movies only. This is a TV series. He has a best supporting actor Emmy already, but if/when he gets nominated for this, it’ll be in the lead acting category.
Was coming to comment the same with being uncomfortable
I thpught the same. His black deep eyes.
This is how I felt watching this series. There were moments that made me uncomfortable & emotional I had to pause ! Evan peters is truly a remarkable talented artist.
Yes! I watch lots of horror movies and documentaries about criminals yet when I watched Evan portraying Dahmer I felt so creeped out. I’ve never felt that creeped out before. It made me so uncomfortable but I couldn’t stop watching …. He did such a good job.
He portrays Jeffery too well. I got chills so many through out the show of how real his acting is
Any moron could portray Jeffrey Dahmer.
How do you know? Did you know Jeff?
@@warweaponx6629 interviews etc
prob why i can't watch the show, imagine if they gave him blue contacts
he was born to play the role i dont see any other actor portraying the character
This was the BEST role Evan Peters has ever played in my opinion! Absolutely spell binding, as horrible as this tragedy was, I couldn't look away! I was little & remember seeing this unfold on TV. Evan nailed Dahmer to a T.
This guy is a hell of an actor. Wow. You don’t see many so dedicated in that field.
His performance was completely PHENOMENAL. It was on spot on how he played this terrifying person, he’s incredibly talented. I truly hope he’s okay after playing such a dark role. He definitely deserves more recognition and an emmy for this, i absolutely adore him & his acting skills !!
I agree, I think it's probably helpful that he has played in many dark and disturbing seasons with AHS.. of course this is his darkest Role but I've always seen him as the guy that plays these dark roles so well. So hopefully that will help him overcome such a role as Dahmer.
Completely agree! He actually stopped doing AHS bc apparently the show was going too dark...which surprises me after seeing his chilling portrayal of Dahmer in this series. The commitment required to play such an intense character would take a psychological toll on almost anybody...Heath Ledger is a prime example😔I hope he gets an Oscar for this. He deserves it.
Anybody that knows him knows hes been playing super dark roles on American horror story for years
I’ve always loved Evan Peters since American horror story, but he really blew it out of the park with this role. He’s such an amazing actor, and he doesn’t get the recognition that he truly deserves. So so talented, and I can’t wait to see his other projects in the future.
He really is an amazing actor! Wow. I’m with you on AHS. Now this. I cannot imagine what he had to do mentally to portray this role.
Faccs Evan has had a long road to this role. Glad he was given it because he committed
I definitely agree with you but this road is definitely about to open up a lot more doors for him.
Agree
SAME!!!!
'"Failed to stop him as a society.'" Powerful line.
off topic but evan needs a podcast or something. his voice is so calming and nice.
Evan plays Dahmer so well that at times you actually forget it’s acting. Some scenes are raw and confronting which people would find repulsive. However I feel this is the best Dahmer depiction ever! He really deserves an award for this❤️
🙌💯
He is a great actor❤
Were there other depictions of Dahmer?
@@redblackshirt Yes! there's a movie where ross lynch acts as Dahmer. I haven't watched it but apparently he's very good but not as good as Evan Peters

agree
I totally agree, just told the same thing to my daughter today.
No the women that played tha lady screaming at him in court deserves one cuz she did exactly how the real victim sister did it
@@Laynettejohnson1991 she did great but that was one scene. So no.
He's already an Emmy-winning actor but this for sure will have him in the running for another Emmy (the Oscar equivalent for TV productions)
I didn't know who Evan Peters was until watching Monster but I had to come and see who he really was because Im blown away by how well he performed Dahmer. Hats off to this talented man.
First time I ever saw Evan Peters was on AHS and I knew he had so much potential. I didn't even realize it was him when I saw the first episode of Dahmer, that's how good he is at playing. It's a natural talent when you can portray different people so realistically. He's such a good actor I can't believe he doesn't have oscars or more awards. He needs more recognition. The actual story of Jeff Dahmer is so disturbing, I only watched this show cause of Evan's acting. Imagine playing a serial killer it's probably mentally draining for the actor too.
i love that Evan knows exactly why Dahmer got away with his murders for so long. he and Ryan really did their research before going into this and i respect that so much.
pretty much everyone knows why he got away with it for so long
The things that enthralls me is that he evan in this video and the evan as dahmer looks totally two different person. This guy nailed this role to the t.
i mean it’s pretty obvious…
@@fbiopenup846 why is that??
@Edit name they didn't want to deal with him. He was gay.
Evan Peters deserves the Oscar for it! Already brilliant in AHS, he showed his diversity as an actor. There was no role he couldn't put himself in. I hadn't paid attention to the cast of Dahmer beforehand and was even more surprised when I saw Evan. He is an absolutely exceptional talent. Not many could have played that role. He manages to push the boundaries and stays in character through the most shameless moments. One of the best Netflix series ever! And this man is Hollywood's greatest talent!
Oscars aren’t for tv shows
Oscar's are not for television mini series! Only qualify for a Emmy.
totally right
It's not a movie
It's not a movie so it wont be an oscar hes getting
This is definitely one of the best performances I have ever seen on TV !!! Evan Peters was amazing.
They did an incredible job of on the victims’ storylines. My heart was broken for all of them, something you’d never get out of a documentary or other biopic that glamorizes him.
The Tony part made me cry... Such a loving wonderful soul only to be wasted in the hands of a monster...
@@Yvette_Wilson same, they all moved me, but the attention they paid to his childhood and how faithful to his mother and love he was just crushed me.
@@Yvette_Wilson I think part of it was that you knew he actually wanted to have something special with Dahmer and the story took you into all of his dreams and aspirations. This was the hardest episode for me to watch.
Right? The last time I got actually tearful was when I watched the John Wayne Gacy documentary on Netflix. I couldn’t help crying throughout Dahmer, especially during the parts with Konerak.
They did not glamorize him at all ! Did you not watch the same interview
I just finished the series and was completely blown away. Evan Peters played that character so well I had to remind myself that it was a documentary. I truly hope Evan continues to do an amazing job with his roles. He deserves an Oscar for his performance.
Notttt a documentary but a serie

Sadly, it’s not a character either :,) People romanticize dahmer in this show acting as if dahmer wasn’t a real person who murdered 17 people, possibly more. it’s scary.
Amazing view of Evan, thank you!
I had to take breaks from the show, because the story was so compelling and real. I knew most of the story before hand, but having it acted so well and told so clearly, breaks were needed after a couple episodes to just decompress. An amazing performance of a story that is just tragic for everyone involved.
I still haven’t finished the show simply because of this reason. It’s a lot to get through and Evan Peters did an amazing job
As an actress Ive admired Evan Peters work from ever AHS character he’s played. He definitely leaves a part of him in his craft. His acting in this character was breath taking, gave me chills. I always judge actors on whether I can forget their “identity” and see them as the “character” they are playing. And he made me feel like Dahmer was right on the screen. Excellent work.
I'm not an actor but that's also how I've learned to judge acting. Do I see them as the character or as an actor playing a role. I 100% believed he was dahmer and even had to turn this show off a bunch of times. And I can handle a lot in terms of horror/gore/etc. This was just legitimately disturbing and he did an amazing job telling a very difficult story.
I wanna get into acting can you point me in some directions
AH, YOU'RE AN ACTRESS? UM, OKEY DOKEY.
Nothing compares to his Ralph Boner portrayal
@@christopherone1 you don't have to be in Hollywood to be an actress you know right?
he’s so well spoken and his acting is so good i refuse to believe he’s real
Oh please 😂
Huh
sigh just blow me
Right?! I've always had an attraction towards him that I can't explain
Evan Peters did so well that I used to forget that he's an actor and not the real JD. He played JD better than JD himself which clearly shows how an amazing actor he is.
i hope he gets a heaping load of awards for this role because i know this took a toll on him mentally. you can’t portray a real serial killer and the things he did in great detail and not have some mental issues as a product. hope he’s doing okay
Authentic actors don't do it for the praise dude come on dude haven't you read the room yet dude get with it
Evan is so underrated as an actor he deserves so many awards for his work. I hope this will get him his well deserved award. He’s always been so fantastic at portraying complex characters.
I first knew him from never back down
i know him as quicksilver
@@SwaggyDuck- yh same!
Technically, he already got his well deserved award. He won an emmy for Mare of Easttown.
American horror story
I will be shocked if he doesn't win MULTIPLE awards for this. He did so damn well in this and so did the many other actors. This whole docuseries is just magnificently well done.

@@YTisEvil you want an award for being a dkhead or something?? I commented this a year ago. Go outside and touch grass.
You did a great job👏👏
It needed to be told and it was brilliantly and sensitively done, imo. It was also so upsetting and I had to give myself breaks while viewing. My heart breaks for those families.
Just finished all 10 episodes,Evan Peters did a phenomenal job portraying Dahmer,he nailed his mannerisms,facial expressions,how he spoke and was truly chilling,how Ryan Murphy also addressed the racism,discrimination,white privilege and ignorance from the police was truly remarkable! This is by far one of the best true crime drama series I have seen in a while
White privilege? There are plenty of white victims of serial killers and the reason dahmer went on for so long was because the police sucked ass at their jobs.
great review!!! I'm headed there right now...bee well
💯 I hope he gets and award🏆 for this
Was hoping it was a film . Dont know if I can be bothered with 10 episodes .
@@JaSoNfAn222 you will get sucked in!
He was incredible. Not many people could act the way he did. He went all in. Great actor.
I can name loads of actors that could have done it

We need more interviews with Evan Peters! His natural hair and beard is everything
...and his very beautiful dark brown eyes!
True I’m feeling the beard😍
One of the most versatile actor I have ever seen. From tate to kit, from Colin to Dahmer. He can do any role with perfection. I hope we can see more of him in coming years.
If he doesn’t win a single award for his performance as Dahmer then there is something seriously wrong! He was absolutely outstanding! This was a fantastic series, disturbing but brilliant! RIP to all the victims!
Can we talk about the ecomicnocal and political state of the world right now?
A lot of the victim’s families did not like this. They had to relive the trauma. Don’t get me wrong Evan peters is amazing especially in AHS. This was an extremely sensitive subject for people.
@@civiccc we already know
@This & That With Delana Taylor wooooshhhhh
@@civiccc no. This is KZhead.
Evan has deserved an Emmy for a LONG time, since all of his incredible work on AHS. I really hope he gets the credit he deserves.
He has an Emmy
Doesn’t he already have one? I mean, he should definitely get one for this, but that would be his second Emmy, I think.
he will never get one for a role like this same as tony Curtis best performance ever as the Boston strangler but didn't get an award for it seems hollywood and rightly so doesnt pay tribute to performances of serial killers
@@cuzmcc did Zac Efron get any recognition for his portrayal of Bundy?
@@melanieb4141 well he deserves multiple!
I’ve been a fan of Evan ever since I started watching American Horror Story years ago; the guy is an incredible actor and I’m so happy he’s been getting the recognition he deserves these past couple years.
I actually watched that show because of him. He had a breakout role in a 2008 movie called "Never Back Down" and he was phenomenal, as always.
Evan peters deserves every award that he could possibly win for his portrayal of Jeffrey Dahmer on the show. He portrayed someone who was so mentally and honestly, physically unable to be a normal human man. He had to get into the psyche of someone who viewed people that he had brought home from clubs or bars, while he was blackout drunk as victims and tortured and possibly consume them, and that is something that I would think, would be hard for any actor to “digest“. The fact that Evan could get into that mindset and is acknowledging the fact that it was something that was incredibly hard to do is exactly the reason why he is such an incredible actor. He always dives straight into every role he has ever had in anything. He is incredible in every single thing that he has ever portrayed and this is the first time that he has portrayed someone who is the actual human being that existed on this earth. Yes, every other person he has ever played as someone that was based on real people but not an actual person. And I think that makes him so diverse and how he can dive right into any rolls of his handed to him takes it on fully with no questions asked honestly. There aren’t many actors out there that are like him. I wish him all of the awards he deserves everything. Free
Just finished this series and Evan Peters seriously put himself up there in the halls of some of the best actors ever on screen with his portrayal of Dahmer. Wow.....just, wow.
Yeah I think the character he created here is on par with other horror supervillains like Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter, Christian Bale as Pat Bateman and Daniel Day Lewis as Bill the Butcher. In a word: Phenomenal.
Him and the actor who played his father both deserves awards!!
You woudn't recognise his father in dahmer, But its the same actor who plays the Father in the movie step brothers
@@QrazedGaming yeah and elf 😂
Agreed plus the actress who plays Glenda 👌🏼
Lionel was played by Richard Jenkins, an absolutely wonderful actor
Yes the dad did amazing!!!
This guy deserves an award for his part in this series. Was on point every episode. Well done.
Mad respect to him for sure since I've watched all the AHS seasons and now the Dahmer series. You're more than a fantastic actor Evan, you're a legend!
He has nailed this role. Binge watching .. you get chills every minute. He Definitely deserve loads of recognition for the role that's so hard emotionally and mentally.
Made my stomach churned. He nailed it down, the voice, the accent, mannerisms.. it's chilling and scary. He's definitely done a fantastic job on this series. Him and Niecy Nash..
It was kind of boring. I skipped to the end. Evans was good, but the series was totally predictable and unnecessary. We've seen this story told one too many times.
@@wazgoodjj Yeah we already knew about Dahmer alot...but this series brought victim's stories, neighbours, parents stories and so many more Red flags into light. The bits and pieces we knew all make so much sense now.
@@misheypts8920 it's just another Hollywood production glorying serial killers.
@@wazgoodjj well you’re no fun
It's been so spooky to see Dahmer portrayed so well, Evan Peters absolutely nailed this performance.
This was done so well, wow
Evan is an amazing actor. He can play everything very well, it must have been difficult, but he just did it so well. I'm sure I could never play it that way, respect.
Anyone who has seen him in AHS knows he is a tremendous talented actor… He portrayed every character with such a finesse, it’s totally mind boggling. And as expected, he once again did an outstanding performance in this show. Truly remarkable how he played such a complicated role with such refined skills. I tip my hat to this magnificent actor!
I've said this so many time's! Remember hotel? He played H.H Holmes or a version of him, he was amazing!! Every role in AHS was phenomenal, he is a wonderful actor.
I didn't know Evan Peters before watching his portrayal of Dahmer. I can't speak to his past performances, nor do I need to - the convincing and compelling imitation of a serial killer, his presence and aura, demonstrates that this artist is in the 1%percentile of talent. Superb job mate! And thank you for confronting head on the hard and controversial roles, many in your shoes would have run for the hills.
you should check out his roles I'm ahs! if you think this was great!! one of my favorites is his role as James March in ahs hotel.
check him as Kai in the 7th season of AHS
Watch all of his roles in every single American horror story! He plays every role so great! He’s unreal
was in xmen
Check out him out in American Horror Story!
The production level of the show is top-tier. The directors did an incredible job, and the actors made the experience so real. Evan Peters is phenomenal in this, his portrayal of Dahmer is bone-chillingly realistic, and I'm glad everybody understands that this is not just about the serial killer, but all the victims and their heartbroken families
I was amazed by everyone’s performance in this. Very well done
The friendship/relationship between Jeff and Tony was so sweet and just nice to watch, it almost made me forget what I was actually watching, and my chest just instantly felt heavy when I realised what was going to happen. It's so sad and bizarre that this was a real person
It depicted what it's like to be idealized, devalued & discarded by a Cluster B personality disorder perfectly. Most heartbreaking episode
Same!!!!
Same here...
Non of that was real, it was all fantasy, he killed him the first day and he was fantising a relationship with his body.
@@loki-thegodofmischief3288 Definitely giving borderline vibes!
He blew me away with his performance. As an actor to put yourself in the skin of an actual serial killer must be truly something else. To absorb Dahmer’s mannerisms, behavior, accent and even the soulless look in his eyes must’ve taken a toll on Evan for sure. He deserves several awards for this powerful performance. I think he was amazing.
If you watch this show with an open mind, it’s one of the top of this year no doubt!
Yeah to think every time Evans sees himself in the mirror, he has to see a part of Dahmer since he trained to be him for this production. I hope he’s okay and doesn’t have any nightmares about any of that kind of stuff because like you said, it must take a toll on him in some way.
You were great ,hypnotic ,thanx so much❤
Evan Peters and Richard Jenkins were phenomenal in this series.
He really seemed to nail that Wisconsin accent
I hope he seeks therapy after this role. I want him to be healthy, mind and body. I am sure this role was extremely difficult
@@djinn5426 okay mr edgy boy , it's not about you. you'd never get the role anyway💀
@@april19th 🤣👍
@@djinn5426 cause there’s not proof that actors can damage themselves taking on certain roles I.e heath ledger and the joker (not even a real person) so it’s not that surprising that the actor might need therapy after portraying a real monster. But hey, keen for your acting debut mate.
@@april19th 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I heard he did so with his American Horror Story role in season 7 I believe. Taking on the portrayal of these characters is no joke.
