Netflix butcher key facts about the notorious Jeffrey Dahmer murders?The Milwaukee, Wisconsin, crime reporter who broke the news of the infamous serial killer — who diabolically tortured and murdered 17 boys and men through the late 1970s and early 1990s — says so.Journalist and author Anne E. Schwartz slammed the new Evan Peters-starring series, “Dahmer: Monster — The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” saying that creator Ryan Murphy and team took so much “artistic license” that the show “does not bear a great deal of resemblance to the facts of the case.”“When people are watching Ryan Murphy’s Netflix series and saying, ‘Oh my God, this is terrible,’ I want to tell them it didn’t necessarily turn out that way,” Schwartz, who wrote “Monster: The True Story of the Jeffrey Dahmer Murders,” told the Independent.Firstly, she took exception to the portrayal of Milwaukee cops as being racist homophobes as she has known members of the force for years.“I’ve spent a lot of time with them, interviewing the people who were at the scene.
Again, this is a dramatization, but at a time when it is not exactly easy for law enforcement to get trust and buy-in from the community, it’s not a very helpful representation.”Schwartz also said that despite the subject being an international sensation, the Wisconsin city is “absolutely done with hearing about the case.”“People in Milwaukee think this is a horrible blemish on the city. They don’t want people to think about it.”“Dahmer” also incorrectly defines the role played by a neighbor of the psychopath, Glenda Cleveland (portrayed by Niecy Nash), who tries warning cops about his nefarious ways, accordint to Schwartz.
