“Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” (TV-MA) – The newest addition to creator Ryan Murphy’s anthology of crime drama series (“The People v. O.J. Simpson” and “The Assassination of Gianni Versace”) is streaming now. Starring as one of the most famous serial killers of all time, Jeffrey Dahmer, is none other than Evan Peters, who has experience playing murderers with his roles in Murphy’s “American Horror Story.” Hollywood long-timers Richard Jenkins and Molly Ringwald portray Dahmer’s conflicted parents in the miniseries, while Niecy Nash takes on the role of Dahmer’s neighbor, Glenda Cleveland, who helped bring Dahmer to justice. With Peters’ intense acting capabilities focused in on becoming one of the most horrifying men of all time, it’s no wonder viewers are finding this series uncomfortably terrifying. (Netflix)
