Fresh Meat: Jeffrey Dahmer (2021 TV Movie)
2/10
Full of inaccuracies and contradictions.
30 December 2022
This tubi original documentary is a joke. A lot of the information presented is just plain wrong. For starters, it's stated that Vernell Bass met Jeffrey Dahmer only days after he moved into the Oxford Apartments in late 1988. This is inaccurate, Dahmer didn't move into apartment 213 until May 1990. Second, Dahmer didn't accidentally take Halcion the night he killed Steven Tuomi at the Ambassador Hotel in 1987, that happened later with a different potential victim when Dahmer was living in apartment 213. This "doc" even gets wrong the date of the Konerak Sinthasimphone incident. On screen it states September 26, 1988, but it actually happened on May 27, 1991. This is basic information that's not hard to verify it's accuracy.

Occasionally the narrator contradicts the dates of title cards shown on screen, and vice versa. Some interviews include Dahmer's neighbor Vernell Bass, Psychiatrist Fred Berlin, and Inside Edition reporter Nancy Glass. As well as a few other talking heads. If a documentary has to resort to interviewing the hosts of a podcast you know it can't be that good. This is a pathetic excuse for a documentary and if you already know the Jeffrey Dahmer case you won't learn anything knew. Avoid it.
