The sustainability in the first place of Dahmer – Monster: The Story of Jeffrey Dahmer as the most watched TV series currently airing Netflix ended after 21 days, surpassed by another Ryan Murphy production, the thriller telefilm The Watcher. However, this ride left the show in second place among the most-watched English TV series ever on Netflix, surpassed only by the fourth season of Stranger Things. So far, Dahmer has been watched 701 million hours by Netflix users.
This is a result that further demonstrates the value of Ryan Murphy, and the importance of the American Horror Story author’s agreement with the Netflix streaming platform. So far, among Murphy’s productions for Netflix, we can mention Ratched and Hollywood.
Dahmer’s success is also determined by the great performance of the lead actor Evan Peters, who spoke in some videos about the difficulty of the role and how he approached the role. In the words of Evan Peters:
it was a challenge to wear the shoes of a man who apparently resembled many others, but who, beneath the surface, harbored a world apart that he kept hidden from all. I’ll be honest, I was shocked by his crimes. Immersing myself in that reality was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.
After all, we are talking about a serial killer who can be guilty of bloody acts, such as sexual violence, necrophilia, cannibalism and cantonment. It seems Jeffrey Dahmer had a quiet childhood until he was six, but his family’s move to Ohio caused a series of traumas that left him increasingly withdrawn and apathetic, influenced by the very severe depression his mother suffered, and by the quarrels. between parents. Situations that led him to approach necrophilia, given the attraction to animal carcasses, which over time he came to treat in the most bloody ways.
Here’s a video from Netflix featuring some scenes from Jeffrey Dahmer’s childhood.
In the latest interview with Evan Peters released by Netflix, the actor shared not only how difficult it was to play the part of the Wisconsin serial killer, but also how important it was to work on the series with respect for the victims of the murders, and their families. Peters himself stated:
To play this character, I had to go into really dark abysses and stay there for a long time.
Keep in mind that DAHMER – Monster: The Story of Jeffrey Dahmer will be available on Netflix from September 21.
