NEW NETFLIX SERIES DEEMED TOO SCARY TO WATCH BY SOME VIEWERS

The new Netflix series titled "Dahmer: Monster - The Jeffrey Dahmer Story" came out on sept. 21st. The story is about the real life serial killer of the same name, portrayed by Evan Peters. Also part of the cast is Richard Jenkins as Dahmer's father, Molly Ringwald as his mother and Niecy Nash as his neighbour.

It only took a few hours before many viewers started sharing how scary it was and how they struggled to keep watching the show:

This Dahmer limited series on Netflix is one of the most disturbing things I have ever watched and I feel like I have a pretty high threshold. Not sure I'm gonna be able to finish it. It is genuinely horrifying. pic.twitter.com/vc2TBCU6P8— Hutch (@hutchinson) September 21, 2022

The first episode of «Dahmer» was horrifying genuinely not sure if I can carry on— Benjamin Armstrong (@Ben_Armstrong_4) September 22, 2022

Evan Peters playing Jeffrey Dahmer is actually terrifying because how can he be so convincing #DahmerNetflix— jodie (@jode__b) September 21, 2022

Cocreators Ian Brennan and Ryan Murphy really made sure the series showed how the murders took place and how long it took for authorities to finally arrest Dahmer. He actually went on a spree from 1978 to 1991 in the US, and admitted to killing 17 young men during those years. He was arrested and incarcerated in 1992. In 1994, he was assassinated by another inmate, Christopher Scarver.

Here's the latest trailer for a glimpse at the series:
