LOS ANGELES — Ryan Murphy says he and the “Dahmer” writing team reached out to 20 family members and friends of the serial killer’s victims over three-and-a-half years, but nobody got back to them.
“Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” which has been a hit for Netflix, drew criticism for its depiction of the horrifying nature of the Milwaukee man’s crimes and how it presented the victims.
“Over the course of the three, three and a half years when we were really writing it, working on it — we reached out to 20, around 20, of the victims’ families and friends trying to get input, trying to talk to people,” Murphy said Thursday night at a Directors Guild of America event in Los Angeles, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
