Thing is..that was Known back then. Those 2 "cops" that returned him ?? Got a Frigging AWARD="OFFICERS of The Year"!! And, it is really scary to think of.
I knew we’d see a reaction from you sooner or later. I’m happy you were respectful to the victims, it’s not a joking matter at all. I was 27 back in 1991 when the story of this monster hit the news and it had me sleeping with the lights on. And when he was killed in prison I remember feeling glad he got what he deserved. Some of the events in this series were embellished for dramatic effect, but all of the murders did happen. Episode 6 is heartbreaking so prepare yourself. The 14 year old was Konerack Sinsamthaphone and he was Loation .
I was 28 and lived in Chicago at the time, so I remember this vividly. One of my friends worked with one of the victims. But I had no idea how the police handled or should I say, didn’t handle the situation. He could’ve been stopped after his first victim.
Thank you for the disclaimer at the beginning. I feel like most Americans and those who went to school in America knew about him a lot. Like you, I honestly never knew about him. To me this raises an awareness of broader societal issues black and gay Americans suffer through. It's important to see the various levels of neglect they face but at the same time, it's such a sensitive crime to show because of what he did to innocent people. I hate that this happened and I hate that he got away with it for so long. Truly vile and disgusting.
the father wasnt forcing the tears, he was struggling to keep them in. I think that scene was powerful for showing how much we expect men to stuff it down and be emotionless even in the direct face of atrocities and deepest heartbreak
Yeah, you can see all throughout the show multiple examples of how people see emotions as a problem. Even in this scene, you could ask yourself, did the cops leave to let Lionel deal with his emotions for his sake, or for their own - so that they wouldn't have to deal with them.
I grew up during his chaos and have learned a lot about the sick things he did. I know this is new to some people but I'm glad they're educating others about his sick crimes.
BIGGEST props to evan man, the most underrated actor out there. he’s so fucking incredible in every role he’s in especially the darker ones, i hope this really pushes him into the limelight where he belongs 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Agreeed but for his own mental well being he needs to find other roles. I’m actually surprised he took this role after what he said about how affected he was by his previous dark roles
I know you don’t want any joking during your reactions, but you’re naturally funny, and when you said “that poor mannequin” I nearly spat my coffee out! 😂
I really do hope you react to the whole show. But also it is extremely heavy and heartbreaking so if you cant we all will understand. The acting in this show is phenomenal. After a couple minutes i forgot this was evan peters thats how well he did with this role. And ms neice nash... she slayed this too. Im gonna ve SO mad if they dont get nominated for awards.
@@Chuuzus yessssss!!!!! I couldn't agree more!!! I always have loved her and only really knew her on comedic roles but, holy crap, she can do it all!!!
I agree with you 100%. I commented the same thing on another reaction and got my ass jumped on because I felt he deserved an Emmy because he said himself how hard this was for him to play this role and had to go to really dark places and stay there while filming. Same for Niecy. She was amazing. For me this brought Awareness about so many things I just didn't know. The police corruption, racism and homophobia. It's deplorable and reprehensible. 🤦🏼♀️😥
I’m not familiar with Evan Peters but over the years I’ve watch Dahmer interviews and wow he really did his research and did an amazing job with portraying him
@@amydubuque2894 I agree with you about the episodes being heavy emotionally…I think a lot of true crime doesn’t present the victims as actual people (more like a statistic) and this series focuses more on all the people who have been effected by JD.
Glad you decided to watch it. Aside from the horrific things that Dahmer did, one of the scariest things about all of this is that from 1978 to 1991 the police kept letting him go. The police was just as guilty as him. They never believed the callers because they were black plus white men get away with so much in this country while everyone else get outrageous amount of time for non violent crimes. If it wasn't for that young man that barely escaped then he would've been doing it until he got caught. He was a monster with so much freedom.
After I finished watching the series, I needed a moment of pause and had to watch something cute or bubbly because my heart was too deep into sadness. The show was great.
@@sharkiealami7817 You sound disturbed nobody should be “numb” to evil horrors that happen to people especially something like this. The fact that you posted this dumb comment is astounding… you are just as sick as him.
@@sharkiealami7817 eh. Idk. I’ve always watched tons of true crime, horror etc. My entire bookshelf is mostly true crime, thriller/suspense fiction etc. This was a bit heavier than the usual stuff. It did hit different than other true story adaptations.
Can I just say...every time you upload, you make my life a little better. Between classes, work, responsibilities, etc. Watching your videos is always a nice time to relax and have fun
Omg Chu, I just finished this series, and let me tell you.. it’s heavy!! Take care of yourself while watching babe. ❤ And yes, Evan Peters is going THROUGH it with these roles
Reminds me of that doctor that was killing or disabling his patients. So many red flags ignored. What scares me even more is there are things like this happening right now, like as I type this someone is being kidnapped or murdered or abused. It's a scary world we live in. So many people go missing each year.
My friend told me all about the show and more about Dahmer today and I had to tap out just from her talking about it. I knew about the case with the 13/14 year old victim and knew I didn't want to watch a dramatized version of that. All the luck and blessings getting through this Chu!
I started the first episode but it creeped me out so bad that I couldn’t finish it by myself but I can’t miss a reaction. r.i.p. to all the victims and condolences to their families. ❤️
I grew up when all of this was happening and have seen many interviews with him. Dahmer frequented the gay bars because he was gay. He explained that he chose his victims purely on wanting to find the most attractive person he could. He had a desire to completely control those he found to be physically attractive. It's wild, and sick.
@@autriajones-hurst9853 It didn't matter if they were gay, he wanted to control the people he found to be most attractive - that was his MO for his victims
I knew Evan Peters would do an amazing job when I first heard about the series. Dahmer was one of the earliest cases that got me interested in true crime as a child. I remember my aunt had a documentary on VHS when I was staying at her house one summer and I watched it alone one night because she didn't have many channels. That was around 2003 but I had already heard about him from reading my mom's magazines from the 90's. Such a disturbing and sad story.
I’m so glad I watched this with you because I couldn’t watch this one alone. This is crazy af. I had no clue his victims were of color!! This is absolutely crazy!! The police didn’t care at all!!! I’m pissed off too!!!
I started watching this today! I’m very familiar with the Dahmer case and I think they did a wonderful job juxtaposing the way he was captured vs the 14 year old that was returned to him. I wasn’t sure which story they were telling that first episode and it made my heart race. Please keep reviewing these!
This show was hard to watch but the actors did an amazing job. I love that you were so respectful of the victims. With big cases like this, the victims are often overlooked and the majority of the focus is place on the perpetrator. I believe more focus should be placed on the fact that these were individuals who had families, dreams and lives that were full of potential. I feel for the families and can't imagine the horror they face when they think about what their loved ones suffered at the hands of a madman. It was a difficult watch.
Just when I couldn't like you more, you come slamming us with your great empathy. You're a bright light in this world friend, your hard work is appreciated out here in the world.
The machine was a hand drill. He was performing a lobotomy (severing of frontal brain lobe)on many victims. Would put them in a zombie state, so they aren't dead but they aren't alive enough to leave. His father was teaching him taxidermy, that's what the mother was saying was weird. His father pretty much helped him on his path down this road of blood lust. In 92, I was 7 and remember hearing about the trial. My parents told us this is why you don't hang out with strangers or drink from strangers.
@@Chuuzus no back then what we were taught wasn’t supposed to be used on people to harm them he took what he learned too far. And mental hospital did this to patients for decades
@@autriajones-hurst9853 yes, they experimented horribly on mental health patients. Drilling their heads, removing things, pouring in liquids. American medical history was very, very, strange.
His father was a scientist, I'm sure he probably thought teaching him would nurture his interest in science and biology. The animals were already dead. Kids dissect animals in school, how many of them become serial killers?
the thing is back then like during the 1970’s and 80’s money currency was different, 50 dollars back then is actually worth 300 something in the 70s thats why most people went back to his place w him especially when he targeted places w poverty
This show gave me nightmares. Sending you and everyone watching prayers and well wishes because this is a huge reminder of how we need to take care of each other.
Chu why are you the most wholesome, lovely RU-vidr I’m subbed to? Probably the greatest that I’ve even ever watched? Especially in the horror community? It was such a pleasant surprise seeing you on The Horror Hour podcast with zzavid and the boys - hope you make some more surprise guest appearances soon. You’re so precious - don’t ever change 🫶 Sincerely, Your #1 Lesbian American Horror fan 🪓🩻💉🩸
i personally avoided this show because i’ve heard the story of jeffree dahmer so many times i didn’t wanna give this sick man any more of my time but you know i have to watch your reactions! also yes pls can ryan murphy remove evan peters from this curse of playing serial killers
The series focuses more on the lives he's affected and doesn't show him in any human or empathetic way whatsoever. It's not like The Joker. It never puts you in his shoes. This is a great show, and in my opinion it would be a shame to let yourself miss it for such a reason.
Yes almost everything you see in the series is real. Also, He was sick since he was a child, many people come from broken homes and have been bullied but normal people get trust issues or low self-esteem not kill people, sleep with the dead bodies and eat them.
Exactly! Sadly for him he is. Jeffrey was doomed from when he was inside Joyce. Lionel had the best intentions but still steered into disturbing fascinations. Joyce took all the drugs in the pharmacy and affected his thinking before he even touched earth.
This series is so heavy and disturbing 😓 I appreciate your disclaimer and how respectful you are to the victims That being said, you are so cute and your reaction are really funny, it makes this mess a bit more bearable Love you Chuu, take care of yourself ❤️
AHHHHH I AM SO HAPPY YOURE REACTING TO THIS!! I really truly hope you take care of yourself watching this cuz it’s so traumatizing but it really is so good.
I watch a lot of true crime and I binge watched this show. I think it's hard for my mind to understand that this is real and that a human being can actually be capable of doing shit like this.
@@luxxsocial4175 it's like I KNOW what he did and how bad it was but my mind almost sees it as fictional. Like it's just a story or movie that says "based on actual events" like I'm desensitized to a lot
I appreciate you clarifying you didnt want to joke about this subject. A close family friend is un-related but close to one of the victims families and my family saw firsthand the devastation their family endured because of that. I know some people were upset about the series but my parents friend and his friends within the victims family felt it was well done and appreciate the reactors and people who watch to learn.
Gosh I’m so conflicted to even watch the reactions to this! I’m really tired of Hollywood profiting off of serial killers, without care for the repercussions of their actions and what that does to the victims and the communities and their families, basically society as a whole. But I’m here to see what ya think! And I respect your opinions. (This is still a disrespectful show to me though, no matter how good they act it out or write it, it’s the principle, and I think it’s disrespectful.)
I've told myself that as long as I'm not seeing the show through my actual Netflix account, then I shouldn't feel too bad for being curious about what people's reactions were to it (Chuuzuz is the first for me to watch it through someone else) - because as a film major, I am curious to see what the show LOOKS like and how it was received but I also don't want to support companies creating speculative, fictional stories based off real events and victims. (I think it's too much, the Gabby Petito movie, the Amber vs. Depp case movie, the Blonde movie, etc.) It's always been weird to me since they made the Ted Bundy movie with Zac Efron a few years ago. I watched it but it left me feeling weird so I tend to avoid fictional movies about real-life people, especially if they were awful people to begin with.
condolences and prayers for Konerak Sinthasomphone and his family. dahmer attacked and took his life. not only him but his brother too even knowing that both boys and their family were already struggling. disgusting.
Yeah, he killed a lot more than that poor young boy, you know. But while you are saddened over the youngster, just think, it was white privilege that got em’ killed. IF cops had listened to the black people warning them about Dahmer, he’d probably be alive today…We’ll never know. …Let THAT sink in.
I'm glad that you're going to be serious about it. I hope you finish it though. I knew of Dahmer but I didn't know the specifics of the crimes. It's so crazy how things went down.
i’ve always watched a lot of true crime stories but for some reason i couldn’t get past the first episode of this series. i watched videos about jeffrey dahmer on youtube before as well as some of his interviews. he definitely carries a very sinister spirit, you can feel it whenever he speaks. from what i have seen, evan peters did a phenomenal job portraying him. it’s very hard to imagine that real people had all this horrible stuff done to them. i hope their souls are resting in peace and he is rotting in hell. i loved your reaction as always, chu. can’t wait for you to continue watching (esp bc i’m too scared to finish this series on my own haha). love you!!!
Chuuzus you're so classy. The disclaimer and respect. Thank you for risking the negative feelings and energy to give us this video. Much appreciated ♥️
Lowkey that's a good point, Evan Peter's be eating these roles up and I'm talking feasting and it does make you wonder why he embodies these roles so well 🧐 and these some real dark ass roles from school shooter to cult leaders to now this and I'm scared to see what's next 👀 we need to pray for E.P and like pray with sage 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I just finished this. It was really well made. As someone who grew up in the 80s and 90s I knew about Dahmer. He was the most prolific serial killer. This was well made. It hit different than other true crime things I’ve seen. I’m not familiar with who Evan Peters is. But man he really did his research and did an amazing job playing him. If y’all aren’t too sick after watching this, watch Dahmer interviews that he did. You’ll see how much EP captured that guy’s mannerisms and everything.
Thank goodness for Niecy Nash finally voicing as the neighbor how the cops ignored all the calls just cause it was in a black neighborhood he was staying in
I only watched one documentary. Cause it was too much! Just like Kids I can only watch this from afar. He deliberately chose living in a black neighborhood because there was never an urgency or agency to come into those kinds of neighborhoods much less their homes. And I still find it disturbing that people keep making jokes about being attracted to murderers as if he wasn’t targeting Black people brown people even in American horror story Eileen joked about having Jeffrey was in the dark meat🤢
I heard on one thing that that wasn't the first time someone had gotten away like that dude on first episode did. There was another time but the cops brought him back and between them and dalmer they forced that dude back into that apartment and left not knowing they sealed that mans fate without even checking anything out. That dude was the same way he didn't want to go on there either and was telling them what happened but like you said they didn't believe him. He don't want to go in there don't make him lol. At least they didn't do that this time but they could have caught him sooner if they had checked it out the first time lol
I just started watching this show, i didnt know anything about dahmer before, just he was a killer, the first episode my heart dropped for the first man who escaped.. anyway love you and your reaction 🖤
This show is a roller coaster ride… and honestly fascinating. I don’t think anyone wants to make jokes about the terrible things he did to people but the way the show has established the characters is legit brilliant. Your reactions were on point as always. Please consider continuing this. There is so much richness in this show beyond the gore and brutality. And the issues of race and sexuality are also appropriately displayed… people ignored so many signs and Dahmer preyed on vulnerable young men.
thankyou soo much for reaching to this chu , I have watched up to episode 4 and i could not watch the rest so I will watch the rest with you through your youtube videos because I cannot stomach this show alone without getting nightmares ❤
I'm glad about this disclaimer. I'm not going to watch it because the victims' families were not contacted and are being traumatized again. Netflix and ryan murphy really should have asked these families about it and give the money to charity
Chuuzus, just wanted to let you know; according to the psychologist who worked this case, Jeffery went after gay black men so he would avoid detection and so that the police wouldn't believe any accusations/suspect him.
i really dislike this show for not reaching out to the family members of the victims before proceeding with the making of it. it's really disrespectful and has retraumatized them all over again. it just seems to be profiting off their pain and people say it's for educational purposes but there are already so many pieces of media about jeffrey dahmer, this definitely felt like a cash grab and a disrespectful one at that.
Agreed that they should have informed the families. This was no cash-grab. It’s well crafted and probably the most thorough examination of his crimes and their impact.
I've been waiting till I'm done with the series to finally watch your reaction. I'm so excited I've been tortured because I've wanted to watch your reaction. I love how respectful you were in the beginning
In my opinion while watching this series and also past interviews and what not, he went after black gay men not because he was racist but because during that time there was a lot of homophobia and racism. So the chances of him getting caught were far less because of course when the man is gay AND black the cops don’t care even more. And the landlord said she called multiple times reporting him and they never did anything. The whole situation pisses me off because he could’ve been caught if they would’ve took the 2 seconds to look into him. I mean look at everything that was in his apartment.
Considering that Dahmer was not very careful about certain details of his killings (such as allowing the smell to spread) I don't think he chose black or Asian people because they would be easy prey and the police would not be on him, but because he really did found them attractive and so he chose them for that reason. He really could have been caught by the police and only got away because of their incompetence not because he was very careful, intelligent or skilled. In a fairer country they would have caught him a long time ago
@@sseraphim2818You sound dumb as hell. He was aware that OTHER people think that way and used it to his benefit. He didn’t agree that black, poor people are „less“, so no, he’s not racist himself. He was a murderer, he saw all humans as objects (in his own words). Acknowledging that prejudice exists does not make you racist. If red heads had been the easiest demographic to kill and he found them attractive, he would have gone after them.
From what I’ve gathered the victims’ families did not consent to this show being made and are not receiving any of the profits it makes. I feel like there have been so many documentaries etc. made about him already, we didn’t need another one. If the entire season was made the way they did episode six (focusing entirely on the victim and who they were as a person) it would have been different but this just feels exploitative to a certain extent. True crime content is a difficult thing to get right, but there is a way. I can highly recommend Kendall Rae on RU-vid. She actually talks to the families and helps get their stories out. BTW, this isn’t a critique of him reviewing the series at all. I recognize that this story isn’t as widely known outside of the US and I think if anything it’s great to have people watch it through someone else instead of streaming it directly on Netflix, so they don’t make more money off of this than they already do.
@@va9967 ah got it! And I agree, it must be horrible for them to have this story dragged on and for decades. Also some worrying social media trends coming out of this, like always. Especially(young) women acting like Dahmer is somehow just „misunderstood“ etc. I think Evan Peters playing the role probably adds to this trend- from what I’ve seen he seems to have a big female audience/ fan girl community.
@@louie.lenard5795 Never heard of this Evan Peters guy until now, what a... first impression? As for the trending stuff that comes out of things related to this monster... Phasmophobia apparently put a ghost/dead version of Jeffery into the game in the new update...
Been catching up with this show so I can watch your reaction, bc FOMO damn it! Even tho I've heard his story before, chile we in for it now... (**Deep African sigh**)
Omg yes finally a reaction to this and from one of my favorites babe I'm just warning you Episode 6 will break your heart it did mine but this show was amazing and Evan did a tremendous job playing that monster can't wait for your next video. 💖
Also I have seen all films and now Limited series of #Dahmer and this was the best one I think in showing that entity being a Monster . But I know there are worst words. And yeah, parents need too set age limits and mental health limits on what they teach their children. Corner store or liquor shops really should have check his id to not provide him alcohol. Should have not been left alone with no job and no responsibilities to keep that entity Dahmer busy. And also just pure evil.
Every one is sympathizing with the victims and their families, understandably 🥺after all these years. Am more scared for the actor Evan Peters, God he needs a psychologist after this role. I don’t think he would ever be the same🥺 or am just exaggerating 🤔?
This show is so heavy, I have to take breaks. I'm only on the 2nd episode as well. I guess I'll watch it with you. On another note, I hope Evan will be okay after this role.
I didn’t know anything about him until recently as well. Truly not shocked to hear that his victims were African Americans😪 I’ve decided not to watch the show so I am watching through you❤
😂😂😂 5mins in and I’m loving the reaction…first time here and you’re very funny. Feels like you can smell the apartment. Anyways the Jeffery dahmar story scared me fr and triggered me cos he was overlooked for his race and the victims were undermined also for their race. America has always been ghetto. Sad 😢
I like that your doing the reactions 2 at a time. So Dahmer made zombies. He drilled in people's head and poured acid in so they would stay alive a little while and be with him.
I loooove you!!✨ and your content and your vibe, if you didn't react to this i wouldn't have watched this, i wanted to be in with the popular people, but watching it on my own would of have been pretty hard to get through
i really want to watch this i have netlix but I feel like it would really fuck with my mind if I watch this alone. thank you so much for making this video and respcting the victims. id rather watch you watch this then alone myself. again thank u
I just finished watching this show three days ago let me tell u omg it was very emotional and heavy like seriously episode 6 broke my heart ❤rip to the victims 💔😢😔😞💙🙏💔😢.
Not you making me watch this 😳 I was shaking the first two mins of this series. This series was traumatizing to watch Evans Peters was fantastic and Neicy Nash did amazing too. The entire cast was amazing but I was nervous watching this.
Frien I couldn't even get past the first episode, once he got that black guy in that rancid apartment I was done! I was so damn uncomfortable, then once they brought in his dad to tell him what happened and read all the body parts Jeff had in his place 😔🤢 I was too stunned to speak.
I'm not all that squeamish at all, but episode 2 almost made me pass out and made me take a break for a few days. It wasn't even all that graphic, but it did something to me, man...
Hey, Chu! I am glad we are getting another point of view since you didnt know about him. I watched this and I couldn't sleep and I wanted to throw up! It was disturbing and upsetting because dahmer actually killed 17 gay men most were black, latino, and poc. This could have been prevented, but the police once again failed. The known serial killers have gotten away with this for a long time, because the police werent doing their job. In this case, the police were dismissing people because they were a person of color. It gets me so mad!!! What makes me mad is that the victims families weren't even notified that this was coming out. They have been through enough! Also, on twitter, people are making jokes and calling jeffrey dahmer hot asf and how they would of gotten killed if they saw him and it is disgusting. Ok he was conventionally attractive to some people idk why but the fact people are saying that after knowing the things he has done is wild. People are so desensitized and need to stop romantizing these serial killers! This was a great reaction to this heinous series and rip to the victims and giving my prayers to the victims families! i hope you have a great week! P.S. you are going to be pissed off throughout this series!!!
