The Co-Creator Of “Dahmer” Disagrees With Criticism That The Series Was Too “Sympathetic” To The Infamous Killer
Although Netflix’s Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story has become the streaming service’s second most popular original series (behind season four of Stranger Things) since coming out last month, the show hasn’t been without contention around how the creators handled the sensitive nature of the tragic events it depicts. Family members of Dahmer’s victims spoke out against the show, saying they weren’t contacted or consulted beforehand and that Netflix only cares about making money. Some viewers said they felt sick while watching it. Now, some who’ve seen it are complaining that the plot was causing people to feel sympathy for Dahmer; but Ian Brennan, who co-created the series with tragedy-glutton, Ryan Murphy, says that notion is simply not true.
Ryan Murphy Has Announced His Next Series For Netflix
Television monarch Ryan Murphy has announced the third series he will create and oversee as part of his $300 million dollar deal with our favorite national pastime Netflix.
