He's amazing not just in his acting but his embodiment of the character. Nash and Learned are also brilliant. Performances are deserving of the rating. The drawback is the sensationalized depiction, not just the focus on the grotesque murders but with dark lighting, butcher shop meat and overall looking too much like American Horror Story instead of a based on real life. At ten episodes it's too long to tell this story unless it had more focus on the victims and their story, especially the Laotian family who had two brothers victimized by Dahmer. Development of victims story could have made this more interesting and less disturbing, but more importantly made this about telling the victims story. Sensationalize story wasn't necessary and missed an opportunity for original storytelling from the victims perspective and the impact Dahmer had on so many lives beyond just those he murdered. Dahmer's story is not even about sexuality which seems to be the focus. He was a very mentally disturbed person who craved power and control.
