Just watched the first episode of this and I have to be honest, that was not easy viewing. I guess they nailed it in that regard, but I dont think I want to watch anymore. Neutral

I'm on the fence about it.
Tagging it "LGBTQ" is technically correct, but also one about Ted Bundy would have "Straight" tag..if they had one.
I say unless they are tagging every movie with with gender the subject would happen to like to sleep with..don't add it to any because then the reasoning for adding it isnt in line with the rest.

@tonizito
I am confused now, When they add it to a movie: it is pandering and not needed and should be removed. When they remove it because those people complain: keep it added?

You could argue either way, really, I'm slightly more with Netflix's initial decision that it concerns LGBTQ people at large and is somewhat educational in that regard, but then again this series is not really educational per se and more of the sensationalist, intimate style - I'm really having a hard time discussing a specific series tags further, I'll leave that to the twitterinos Razz

IMO the LGBTQ tag should be added only if LGBTQ-ism is a central part of the movie/tv show, etc.

For instance, the tv show Sense8 shouldn't have the tag, its main plot wouldn't be much different if it didn't have any LGBTQ characters in it.

On the other hand, a film like Philadelphia should have it, for obvious reasons.

@4treyu
Thats my basic view to. If its plot has major elements that revolve around the story to be completed because of the tag, or its a major theme of who it is aimed at it should have one. Regardless if its a gender tag, violence tag, action tag, sex tag..whatever.
Trying to 'do all the tags!' about things that are not important to the target audience or movies intended theme ruins the points of tags. Like should Die Hard have all the tags added?: Action, Violence, Straight, Sexy Bald Men, NYPD, LAPD, Christian Holidays, TAG Heuer watches?

Some of those are helpful and pertinent. But If that thing isnt important to the descriptive plot, it shouldn't be a tag.
To me its akin to having the tape back in the old days in a few sections of blockbuster and one of them is the 'gay' section. It's premises and story isn't aimed at that.

While Dahmer and his victims was gay. It's not important to the description of the movie beyond because they wasn't straight (the norm..so to speak by society standards of the majority is 'norm').

So they DON'T want the tag used even though it's "technically true" unless it's ONLY used in happy/emo/drama movies...?

To be fair nobody would if they was of a type and that was listed as a tag to imply connection (or simply misplaced self inferred connection) to a perceived defining trait of a despicable character.

I tried watching it, I enjoy true crime stuff and documentaries on the vilest of our species Razz
Like at the current moment I am listening when I go to bed for last week a 16 hour audio book about case studies mixed with the history, mindset, group types for overlapping mental traits, and breakdown of motivations and fixation 'ticks' of serial/mass murders.

But this show is not for me, not saying it is bad, just not for me. Its more drama/suspense show format and pacing than I can enjoy.

Wouldn't say though, but kept a good tension going. Now I'm curious to hear your opinion regarding the rest of the eps.

Same for why I couldnt watch it. Those looking for a drama/horror/suspense entertaining series based around the broad stroke of a famous serial killer will love it I think, the actor and plot does a great job for that 100%. I would recommend it for anyone looking for that.

But beyond him looking like him, and killing guys in his apartment its pretty inaccurate on timeline, his personality and persona, scenes that happen, his interaction with his neighbors and such. The main neighbor Glenda is a real person, but didnt even live in his building much less share a wall with him.

they are not glamorizing anything for profit, they make it work to be more entertaing, its been like this since forever.

in the end they did tell a story very close to what happened. just because some elements here shifted or added, the end is still the same. so?

I usually do if its a non-fictional based story. Very Happy

Again not saying its bad. But it could have been just as good by telling the story itself and less use of creative license and forced tension.
I never understand why movies like to take stories that have more than enough details to make a compelling good movie, and change/add stuff that is less good than what the source has. Be it telling a story from non-fiction, or fiction like books/comics/etc.

But for very close to what happened? Its not even vaguely close to it other than the actor looked liked him, it was in an apartment, and it was men he killed.

No. I dont have to be there to know what happened. Books, interviews, police reports and investigation documentaries exist.
I wasnt personally there when Hiroshima was bombed. But if they said it happened at the start of the war and was done with a hydrogen bomb we can know that is wrong.

This really became total fiction with each episode. His "neighbour" Glenda Cleveland didn't even live in his building. And she only called police once for that 14 years old kid. Never met him either. Nobody in the nearby rooms ever complained of this fucker. All interviews with people said he was always very friendly and was giving them sandwiches (which were possibly with human meat in them ffs....). No smell, no eviction notice, no calls to the police on Dahmer every other day. Ok, Netflix wants to "raise the racism issue" in every single show they make, but this is about a real life event and it becomes a damn propaganda to make things up just for the agenda. But then again they made Anne Boleyn show where she is a black lesbian, so they gonna keep such controversies as long as they make them money.

I feel it should have been listed as 'Inspired by' and less 'Based on'. Granted based on can be a pretty loose telling of a story, but this seems disingenuous to be called based on. Since this tries to set the shows setting and narrative as being accurate(ish).

This is based on Dahmer only slightly more accurately than Texas Chainsaw Massacre was based on Ed Gein. But at least TCM was an obvious over the top fantasy fiction that got inspirations from a demented isolated farmer that does not try to lead you to think Gein was actually like that. This just leads people to believe the entire history of Dahmer's events was different than they was. (Not saying HE deserves to have it accurately told, he deserves nothing. More that due to its nature it deserves to be accurately portrayed.)

after watching this old ass documentary about dahmer, it seems pretty accurate. changing little things happens in every series which is based on true events. nothing wrong about that, if i want 100% true events i don't watch a series on netflix about it.

oh no, they merged two neighbours into one character, so people will enjoy it more. those fucking bastards, because of this everything is wrong. Sad

Could be just me on what I consider accurate.
-Changing how soon neighbors was suspicious (if at all).
-How many was suspicious.
-Where the lady that called police lived.
-How long he had been doing it before she did.
-What she called about (changes the whole dynamic of her suspicions, or lack of)
-That she/him never really talked to each other vs the whole story revolves around them conflicting with other (the lady he DID talk to and give food to is not the one in the movie and even then he was barely on her radar other than as a friendly neighbor, and that one in the movie didnt even live in his building)
-And how his demeanor to his neighbors was (the whole interaction of the movie with others)

All that being changed isnt little things, to me anyway.
They changed literally everything other than: A man named Dahmer played by a guy that looks like him, lives in an apartment and rapes and kills men.
