Dahmer. Did not need to be ten episodes.

I think that Dahmer would function well as a mini series, lets say 3 90 minute episodes. I would have liked to see more disturbing scenes of him and his victims.

And this is exactly why we need to stop making films of actual serial killers. If you want the details you can read the autopsy reports. Don’t look to real tragedies sensationalized as entertainment because you want to see “more disturbing scenes”

I don't see what is the problem. Why is Marvel normalised? Is it okay to live in a dream world of superheroes or live in a realistic world where there are serial killers roaming around? I have a question for you. Did you see the movie I saw the devil? Korean movie, very disturbing, but not based on true events. If you cohld would yoh forbid those kinds of movies? Cheers.

The difference is that the victims in Dahmer are real people. So putting those scenes into a movie or TV show could have negative impact on the victim's families and friends who happen to see it. Yes, we could say, well they can just avoid the show or movie, but why even put it out there?

So what do you think about for example movie Hotel Ruanda? It covers tragic historic event. Genuinely curious. Cheers.

I've never seen it and don't know what it's about. But if it's about a war, that can be more broad strokes and not focus on specific events that happened to specific people. It's nearly impossible to make a movie/show about a serial killer and everyone watching not be able to know exactly who the victim was in real life, even if they change names.

That’s a great movie but like ultimately there’s only maybe 2-3 scenes even related to the killer hurting his victims. The show already goes a lot more in depth to Dahmer and his victims. I saw the devil is much moreso about the cat and mouse chase rather than the serial killer
