there is a different between reading a wiki page to a TV show though. Netflix seem to just roll them out like it's some kind of conveyer belt, they're all so similarly done too, like they have a set processes for serial killer series. I used to listen to the odd true crime podcast but now there is so much serial killer (or murder) stuff that you come desensitised and they kind of get glorified (especially netflix ones)
Well yeh, of course, I was pointing more towards they are an obvious money maker due to the popularity of the topic.
iirc, there was a film 12yrs(?) on which sort of tidied things up, at least one cast member had died in real life, show runner lost the plot a bit by end S3...Mr Wu had a word for him
When it was good, which it was - it was very, very, good.
Nor whoever let him, in real life, dress like a tosser
Not seen the film ?
My take on the tv series, is that the way they left the end of series 3, there`s deffo another one in the pipeline.
I was all ready for Mr Wu and his Chinese mob, to go full mental in series 3 too lol

Never that keen on the ‘True Crime’ genre to begin with but think Netflix not speaking with the families is pretty exploitative.
Netflix’s Dahmer is a hit. But victims’ families say it’s retraumatizing them.
True crime has made huge strides in centering the victim. But we keep getting series like the Netflix docudrama.www.vox.com
Doubt I would have watched it anyways tbh
I read a review that said the amount of true crime docs and shows about him have turned him into an icon, which is horrible.
Never been a fan of those torture porn shows or films in general.
I know tonnes of people like this sort of thing but it’s not for me.
On the 2nd series of young Wallender very good viewing.....

Any coverage of Dahmer would be met with understandably similar sentiments from victims families. I had remembered this case but confess I didn't know the extent of details that were depicted in the Netflix series. It was very stressful to watch but compelling nevertheless, if nothing else I left with three prevailing impressions that will stay with me
One, the police in the US are absolutely revolting
Two, people of color were predominantly victims both by police failing to do more & for being targets of Dahmer
Three, I gained a great deal of empathy for the victims families
As I say, they will never have peace regardless but an important story to be told IMHO

the 3rd one finished 16 years ago mate, the pipeline must have a blockage!
Patience mate, patience.
The film is defo worth a watch. Is still an outstanding show. The drama folk in the 3rd series derailed things a bit agreed.
The dynamic and ongoing hate/respect between McShane and Olyphant is as well done as you’ll see anywhere.
Half way thru Train on sky scfi. Korean show with subs, really good
