Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story has been at the receiving end of plenty of controversies and praise since its release. The Netflix hit show about the real-life events of the titular serial killer was nominated for four awards at the 80th Golden Globes held just yesterday, and much to some fans’ disapproval, the show gathered its first golden statue.
The Netflix true-crime series directed by Ryan Murphy received criticism after the families affected came forward with a statement claiming the series is “retraumatizing” and that it capitalizes on other’s tragedies without their consent. Since then, the Jaffrey Dahmer Story has been lambasted online and even boycotted. Nonetheless, lead actor Evan Peters took home the show’s very first Golden Globe for Best Limited Series Actor.
