Does casting Evan Peters in Netflix series about Jeffrey Dahmer glorify the serial killer?


The only problem is that the scene takes place while the actor assumes the role of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. This isn’t the first time Netflix has popularized the idea of a handsome actor playing a heinous serial killer. Texas State University graduate and psychology academic Kenady Strutz wrote her thesis on romanticizing serial killers in film prior to graduating this year. Reviewing hundreds of articles including the earliest depictions of serial killers, she concluded that a favourable portrayal of killers can be harmful. I can see where there are similarities in appearance between Zac Efron and Ted Bundy or Evan Peters and Jeffrey Dahmer.
