became an overnight sensation as soon as it dropped on September 21. Many viewers binged the Netflix limited series, either compelled by the grisly crimes the real-life serial killer committed or drawn in by Evan Peters’ masterful performance as the namesake character.
As is often the case with major crimes, the series explores the nature versus nurture dynamic of Dahmer’s upbringing and his early descent into criminality. As the viewer gradually sees the progression of Dahmer’s childhood, it’s clear thatis painting a picture in which both his mother, Joyce, and father, Lionel, are at least somewhat responsible for shaping him into what he became. Most notably, when Jeffrey displays an interest in experimenting with dead animals, his father encourages it.
Additionally, the narrative within the series puts some of the blame on Lionel for failing to adequately question Jeff every time he got into trouble. Whether it was getting arrested for molesting a boy or being questioned by the police after a would-be victim escapes, Lionel doesn’t see the red flags regarding Jeff’s behavior.
