Monster (TV Series) Lionel (2022) User Reviews

Powerful.

[Sleepin_Dragon · 9/10 · 15 October 2022]

Jeff has his day in court, whilst his father tries to find reasons as to why his son turned out the way he did.

Wow, this was yet another very powerful episode, it really does feel like the point in the series where we have reached the cold light of day. We get the collective impact of Dahmer's crimes, and it's not just directly on his victims, the effect spreads out much wider.

So much content, there is so much happening here, but it's all cohesive. Some powerful scenes inside that courtroom.

I know this is a dramatisation, and as I've found out from previous episodes, it may not always be totally accurate, I'm not sure if it's just the performance, but was Dahmer autistic?

Richard Jenkins gave a commanding performance as dad Lionel, he was so impressive here.

9/10.

Another great episode of this highly recommendable show!

I gotta say, i'm totally hooked on this show right now. The acting is top notch, Evan Peters and Richard Jenkins are on top of their prime. Great stuff! This episode is mainly seen through the eyes of the family's victims and most of these scenes are really heartwrenching to look at. Like I mentioned before, its all about the acting! Richard Jenkins shines and eventually admits that he is the who's responsible for all the bad things that happened in his past and eventually led to one of the most notorious serial killers in the US. That scene was powerful and for the first time ever in this series, I actually felt sorry for the guy. Immediately I felt guilty for feeling some sympathy for this horrific monster.

In conclusion, this show is great and hats off to Evan Peters!

One of my favorites TV episodes

Probably one of the most emotional episodes. First of all the "fight" between Dahmers parents: They are trying to get rid of the responsibility. They can't accept that the built a "monster". We can see, through their dialog, that the responsibility at this is 50 - 50. Also the father's act at the scene where they try to convince Dahmer that he is a Psycopath. Secondly: the testimonies at court. So much pain. Brilliant acting. Emotional music. We can also feel the anguish of the families. So powerfull speeches that speak through our hearts. Finally the poem. That scene would be enough to convince me to watch this series. In conclusion we have 2 opposite sides: The parents who deeply love their son and they want to get through this without harmful consequences and from the other hand the victims families that they want from him the worst. We can they that both the sides are right by a different way. And we meet the same two sides at every nowadays' crime...
