After the release of the Jeffrey Dahmer series last week, Wednesday 21, viewers were left terrified. However, there was one particular piece of information in the series that was altered.
Keep scrolling to find out…
The new Netflix original series that everyone seems to be talking about is called ‘Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.’
It’s pretty straightforward as to what the series is about…
The story of one of the world’s most notorious serial killers told from the perspective of his victims.
In the series, Dahmer is played by actor Evan Peter.
Fans wonder if the show is accurate to real-life events…
Or whether some parts were glossed-over.
As any fan of true-crime television will tell you, “based on a true story” can often mean a wide range of interpretations of the facts.
However, this series played things faithfully to the reported information. But there are a few things that divert away from reality. But nonetheless, this will be right up the alley for someone who enjoys murder/mystery series.
But while fans are currently loving this new show, they’re also sad about the shows that are leaving the streaming platform this month…

Many viewers are praising Evan Peter and his amazing portrayal of Jeffrey Dahmer.
So much so, that people find it “creepy as hell,” and others calling it “bone-chilling.”
While people find Evan Peter’s portrayal of Dahmer creepy…
Some are becoming wary of glamorizing the serial killer because of Peter’s portrayal.
One user took to social media, saying, “Dahmer is out, let’s not romanticize Jeffrey Dahmer just because he is played by Evan Peters. Remember the victims.”
Another user added: “It’s okay to praise Evan Peters for his performance, he is a brilliant actor. But do not romanticize him in the role as Jeffrey Dahmer.”
And now, following the show’s release, people are calling it one of the scariest ever!
Alberto Carlos for Espinof added: “A remarkable example of true crime that is as forceful as it is truly absorbing and disturbing in its merciless portrayal of the killer.”
While Ed Power from the Daily Telegraph called it, “A competent and earnest character study that goes out of its way to make the viewer’s insides lurch, their skin crawl.”
Have you tuned in?
The series has earned the right to be scary…
But many viewers didn’t know that this part of the series was actually changed from what actually happened.
If you’ve been keeping up with the series, you’d know about the neighbor that was suspicious about Dahmer.
However, she was never listened to by the authorities, which extended Dahmers years of getting away with murder.
The show portrays Glenda living next door to Dahmer…
However, that wasn’t the case at all.
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Glenda didn’t live near Dahmer…
Rather she lived in a separate building from him.
Glenda died back in 2010…
But her daughter reported that her mother lived down the road from Dahmer.
One incident that occurred in Dahmer’s apartment was the death of Konerak Sinthasomphone.
Glenda called the authorities after her daughter spotted a person running out of Dahmer’s apartment naked and drenched in blood.
When two police officers arrived, Dahmer was able to trick the police officers, saying that the teenager was his adult lover.
Believing his story, the cops allowed Sinthasomphone to go back inside with Dahmer.
Glenda called the police yet again, urging them to do something…
But the police denied her claims.
