Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story breaks records as one of Netflix's most-watched shows

Ryan Murphy’s mega-bucks deal with Netflix is looking like a very smart investment.

The co-creator of Netflix's "Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story" disagreed that the show was "sympathetic" to the man labeled the "Milwaukee Cannibal." The Netflix limited thriller series depicts the life of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, who was known for committing murder and other heinous acts, including necrophilia and cannibalism, between 1978 and 1991. "I think we show a human being," co-creator Ian Brennan explained to Page Six during the premiere of his new Netflix series "The Watcher." He’s monstrously human, and he’s monstrously monstrous and that’s what we wanted to sort of unpack. "We tried to show an objective portrait as possible," he noted.

Netflix butcher key facts about the notorious Jeffrey Dahmer murders?The Milwaukee, Wisconsin, crime reporter who broke the news of the infamous serial killer — who diabolically tortured and murdered 17 boys and men through the late 1970s and early 1990s — says so.Journalist and author Anne E. Schwartz slammed the new Evan Peters-starring series, “Dahmer: Monster — The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” saying that creator Ryan Murphy and team took so much “artistic license” that the show “does not bear a great deal of resemblance to the facts of the case.”“When people are watching Ryan Murphy’s Netflix series and saying, ‘Oh my God, this is terrible,’ I want to tell them it didn’t necessarily turn out that way,” Schwartz, who wrote “Monster: The True Story of the Jeffrey Dahmer Murders,” told the Independent.Firstly, she took exception to the portrayal of Milwaukee cops as being racist homophobes as she has known members of the force for years.“I’ve spent a lot of time with them, interviewing the people who were at the scene.
