Fresh Meat: Jeffrey Dahmer

This tubi original documentary is a joke. A lot of the information presented is just plain wrong. For starters, it's stated that Vernell Bass met Jeffrey Dahmer only days after he moved into the Oxford Apartments in late 1988. This is inaccurate, Dahmer didn't move into apartment 213 until May 1990. Second, Dahmer didn't accidentally take Halcion the night he killed Steven Tuomi at the Ambassador Hotel in 1987, that happened later with a different potential victim when Dahmer was living in apartment 213. This "doc" even gets wrong the date of the Konerak Sinthasimphone incident. On screen it states September 26, 1988, but it actually happened on May 27, 1991. This is basic information that's not hard to verify it's accuracy.

Occasionally the narrator contradicts the dates of title cards shown on screen, and vice versa. Some interviews include Dahmer's neighbor Vernell Bass, Psychiatrist Fred Berlin, and Inside Edition reporter Nancy Glass. As well as a few other talking heads. If a documentary has to resort to interviewing the hosts of a podcast you know it can't be that good. This is a pathetic excuse for a documentary and if you already know the Jeffrey Dahmer case you won't learn anything knew. Avoid it.

The narrator sounds like someone who polished his deep and meaningful voice in the 1970s, and was dug up especially for this. The talking heads (whoever they are) come across as worryingly psychotic themselves, with twitches, combovers and wonky eyes. Very hard to watch. Not for the content, but for the weirdos involved.

I can't believe this wasn't made decades ago. Not something I could recommend, or bother to watch again.

There's nothing wrong with the editing style or voice of the narrator in my opinion, but this show is quite disturbing. I watch true crime docs frequently but the Dahmer story is one of the worst and so tragic for the male victims and families involved. Many decent interviews of people who knew Dahmer. Who knew a nice looking clean cut guy could be such a monster. Viewer beware as this is a tough story to watch and sad for many in the LGBT community.

As someone who watches far too many crime docs, specifically murder docs, I thought I knew disturbing. This was hard to watch. So many disgusting and gruesome details I had never heard from this case. It's a 1/10 if you like light hearted crime docs it's a 10/10 if you want to know the grisly details and inner workings of serial killers minds.

You can tell what year a documentery was made when they pull the race card. After 2020. This was interesting to watch unyil they had Jasmine Johnson the black supremist provide narrative. As with everything she believes the police didnt follow up on things because of the color of their skin. With nothing to back it up because they were white they just had to be bias toward investigating the victims. She only takes african american clients for counseling of course. How do people get away this?

The stories from the people who were around when the murders took place was the best part. I also like how they incorporated the old footage.
