Netflix’s latest crime series has compelled viewers to “switch off” after they were left feeling “physically sick” at the disturbing scenes based on one of America’s most prolific serial killers, Jeffrey Dahmer.
Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story was released on the streaming service on September 21 and follows the infamous Milwaukee cannibal who reigned terror for 13 years.
Dahmer was arrested for his horrific crimes in 1991 and was sentenced to 16 terms of life imprisonment for the murders of 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991, several of which involved necrophilia and cannibalism.

The 10-part series, which is largely told from the points of view of his victims, includes the harrowing depiction of how he lured his victims to their death and highlights the errors of police who failed to capture him for more than a decade.
Upon watching the limited series created by Ryan Murphy, viewers took to social media to share their thoughts on the gruesome story, with many admitting they had to turn off half way through.
