Netflix's latest blockbuster true crime series has left viewers feeling repulsed and sickened after viewing the 10-part show, which dramatises the life of serial cannibal and murderer Jeffrey Dahmer.
Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story (2022) dropped on the platform September 20 and has already caused a stir among true crime fans, with many saying they feel "sick" after learning about the depths of the Milwaukee Cannibal's crimes.
Dahmer was arrested in 1991 and sentenced to 16 life terms for the murder and dismemberment of 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991, many of whom he committed necrophilic acts on and consumed. He was beaten to death by an inmate in his cell in 1993.

The true crime series was put together by horror auteur Ryan Murphy, who created the massively popular American Horror Story, who did not shy away from some of the most chilling parts of Dahmer's sickening crimes.
This includes scenes where the Milwaukee Cannibal feeds a woman a sandwich filled with human flesh, as well as depicting his method of luring victims, knocking them unconscious, and committing heinous acts on them.
Netflix has previous said that the show aims to shine "a spotlight on the as-yet untold stories of Dahmer’s victims, the people who tried to stop him, and the systemic failures that enabled him to continue his murderous spree for over a decade."
But this has not stopped some viewers, unaware of the gory details of the Dahmer case, from being repulsed by what they see.
@isfromthebay said: "the story of Jeffery Dahmer is absolutely insane, got me sick to my stomach", while others were appreciative of the show's victim focus, with @snootyface saying: "Watching this series on Netflix. Dahmer acting is outstanding but I absolutely appreciate the victim's stories this dude was beyond sick."
@ctraltsamara found the realism of the series to be most sickening, saying: "the story of Jeffrey Dahmer was disgusting enough, but seeing the actual crime scene and polaroids he took has me SICK."
Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story (2022) is available to stream now on Netflix.
