	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Ed Power Telegraph	"This latest in a dismaying string of serial killer dramas lands somewhere between tedious and too appalling to watch (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Kayla Cobb Decider	"'Monster' isn’t just well directed, written, and acted. It’s rewriting what a crime drama can look like if we stop glorifying murderers and start focusing more on systematic failures."	POS
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"A grim, sepia-toned slog that rarely justifies its own existence (...) The story of Jeffrey Dahmer has been told over, and over, and over again. This version, despite its prestige trappings, has little else to add."	NEU
United States	Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"Lurid and uncomfortable, Ryan Murphy’s new true-crime series feigns humanity by focusing on Dahmer’s victims but revels in their torment across ten long episodes. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
Denmark	Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"Evan Peters is scary as the title character (...) If you watch just one Jeffrey Dahmer story, make sure it’s this one. (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] is haphazardly structured, never finds a happy medium between exploration and expectation, and probably would never have existed if adulation for 'The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story' had been more universal."	NEG
Canada	Kai Young Screen Rant	"'Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story' gives voice to those who have suffered at the hands of its titular serial killer while also giving viewers a totally new side to a story that they might already be familiar with."	POS
Canada	Alex Maidy JoBlo	"Everyone involved with this show does an admirable job of trying to tell this story in a way that would not offend but rather inform. The end result is just too slow and too uncomfortable and is not worth the investment in watching it."	NEG
United States	Kyle Turner The Playlist	"Ryan Murphy’s obsession with monsters yields a middling morbid spectacle (...) It appears evident that Murphy wants to do for Dahmer what he did for Andrew Cunanan in 'Versace'"	NEU
United States	Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"The 2017 film My Friend Dahmer does a better job of peering, briefly, inside Dahmer’s head"	NEG
