* OvershadowedByControversy: Despite becoming the number one show of Netflix worldwide and making an effort to not romanticize the character of Dahmer by focusing on the pain and suffering he inflicted, the show still got a pretty big backlash for its perceived indecence, lack of respect or "thirst for nominations". Two points are commonly brought up:
** The choice of Creator/EvanPeters as Jeffrey Dahmer. Evan Peters is well-known as a "sexy" actor adored by a [[EstrogenBrigade wide fanbase no matter what role he plays]], to the point that his fans tend to always [[EvilIsSexy sympathize with his characters no matter how awful they are]], as it was proven by the success of his previous serial-killer characters in other Creator/RyanMurphy productions.
** The refusal of the families of the victims to participate, collaborate or help with this project, forcing Ryan Murphy, according to his own words, to rely on a "team of experts" to depict the story of said victims. Many people pointed out that, if for [[https://www.geo.tv/amp/449261-ryan-murphy-claims-dahmer-victims-families-never-responded-to-netflix three years you contact regularly twenty families and they refuse to answer back]], it might be a sign that they are not really appreciative of your project. In fact, upon the release of the show, families of the victims claimed that the show only [[https://www.nme.com/news/tv/jeffrey-dahmer-victims-family-say-netflix-series-has-retraumatised-family-3315841 served to revive their trauma of the murders]].
** While not related to the creation of the show itself, a second backlash has formed itself over the MemeticMutation of numerous scenes involving the victims of Dahmer on social media.
