As Peter said in an interview, After receiving the scripts he called Ryan and said, 'Dahmer' seems almost regretful, guilty, and confused. Peters told Netflix that there was a sense of disorder in this character. Peters says, "He doesn't have the winsome, devilish smile. He is alone, unfriendly, and almost detached from what he did." I instantly went to YouTube, watched the NBC interview, read biographies, and discovered his admission and police report." Dahmer's last interview describes his motives and why he committed the murders. According to Peters, "the whole thing was jaw-dropping, and it felt important to tell the story as authentically as possible while being respectful to the victims and their families."
