Based on the real-life murders of Jeffrey, the show was met with
controversy upon release. Now the mother of Jeffrey’s victims has slammed
the Golden Globes for honouring Evan for playing a serial killer who did
not mention any of the victims as tribute in his speech.
Dahmer also created a lot of controversy upon its release for its apparent
lack of respect for the victims’ families. At the Golden Globes, when star
Evan won for his portrayal of the serial killer, he expressed his gratitude
to the HFPA (Hollywood Foreign Press Association) and said that even though
the show was a tough one to make and watch, he sincerely wishes “some good
came out of it.”
