Dahmers critics scores make no sense. The shows a masterpiece. 

 

 

Watcher deserves it tho

Very entertaining and thrilling.  Jennifer Coolidge's final scenes were a hoot  So many twists & turns,  I was enthralled. 

 

The whiplash over who The Watcher was  Of course the case remains unsolved but the theories were fun to watch. 

 

I don't think the side characters got full closure. Even though this is only a limited series,  it almost felt open ended for a season 2.

It's a slow burn and subdued compared to most RM shows.

25 min in episode 1.

 

Its not that good. Its quite slow and boring.

 

Cinematography is giving ABC television or cable network drama.

 

Its nothing like dahmer or american crime story.

 

Ill keep watching cause the dad is HOT and hung

How do you know he's hung?

I really enjoyed this! I was a little confused about how they were going to create a full series on the original case considering it was pretty much just the letters and then the aftermath (lawsuits, selling the property, etc.), but they managed to flesh the story out into something bigger. It did feel a little PG considering it's a Ryan Murphy production, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

 

It does make me laugh how they're selling it as being 'based on the true story'.  The only similarity it has with the actual events is the letters from 'The Watcher' and some small innocuous connections (like the guy with the 'Watcher' gamer screenname), pretty much everything else is fictionalized, but as I said, I guess they didn't have enough real content to justify a full series.

For sure, Jennifer stole the show (as usual!). 

 

I agree though, there were too many red-herrings so it did get a little bit annoying towards the end, and the ending itself was a choice...  Kinda wish there was a season 2 but I guess they wanted the ending to reflect the real-life events.

Kinda enjoying this. @Walk_Away21 @Sexyzinger

[RedCarpet]

just finished. so good. 

[genetic fail]

I just finished it and it’s just average. Thank god it was only 7 episodes long because it was starting to get repetitive.

[MadonnasBoyfriend]

I'm on episode 6 and I feel like I'm hearing the same conversations over and over very repetitive. Better editing would have slayed still can't wait to see how it ends! 

[Leptine]

This was very good for me, very enjoyable and entertaining, the cast was really good, it kept me in suspense the whole time.

I love her

One thing about these true crime series is that I hate how literally half of the show is fiction. Ryan Murphy just needs to go.

This started off good but got progressively worse. What even was that last episode?

Well they are serialised dramas not documentaries so it’s to be expected.

Another global smasha for Ryan Murphy:

imagine going through a real life trauma and it being turned into a tv show then a bunch of strangers hopping on the internet and dragging your trauma for having a boring ending  

[josesuxx]

This was nothing outstanding but still enjoyable. Kind of a mess but pretty entertaining, Jennifer Coolidge was the highlight.
