After dominating Netflix ’s most-watched top spot for nearly a month after its release and breaking streaming records left right and centre, Ryan Murphy’s hit show, 'Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story' has captivated true crime fanatics globally. The series sparked a social media frenzy as the uncomfortable portrayal of the cannibal serial killer - acted powerfully by Evan Peters - lays bare Dahmer’s heinous crimes 31 years after his arrest.
But much like other gritty true crime shows that reach Netflix stardom, the new Dahmer series has been steeped in controversy since it arrived on our screens, as the serial killer's victim's families have spoken out about being "re-traumatised" by the fresh interest in Dahmer's murders - insisting the show simply glorifies his brutal violence.
