New Jeffrey Dahmer interviews the basis for Conversations with a Killer series

More Jeffrey Dahmer content is heading to Netflix in the form of the true crime documentary series, Conversations with a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes. The three-part series will feature never before heard interviews between Dahmer and his legal team. The trailer highlights the complexities of Dahmer and attempts to give insight into why he would commit brutal and horrific acts of violence. Even Dahmer says in the trailer that he can’t give a “straightforward answer” to his crimes.

The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes will also cover the outside circumstances surrounding Dahmer and his crimes. Dahmer preyed upon marginalized communities in Milwaukee, and the series will explain how “race, sexuality, class and policing” empowered a serial killer.

The series comes from Academy Award nominee Joe Berlinger, an acclaimed filmmaker who worked on many true crime documentaries about serial killers and social issues. Berlinger’s Paradise Lost trilogy played an integral role in bringing awareness to the West Memphis Three, who served 18 years in prison for murder before being released. This marks the third film in Berlinger’s Conversations with a Killer series. The two previous iterations, The Ted Bundy Tapes and The John Wayne Gacy Tapes, are available to stream on Netflix.

The word "monster" is thrown around so often that it's lost a lot of its meaning. It's supposed to be a word that describes something horrific and evil beyond description. In the case of Jeffrey Dahmer, monster is the only word that is appropriate. Beneath the surface of his benign appearance lies the heart of a serial killer who preyed upon young men and boys between 1978 and 1991. Cannibalism, necrophilia, torture, murder, and sexual assault were just some of his crimes. Now, Netflix is offering a new exploration of this killer in the upcoming miniseries, Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.

If you have to watch one Peacock movie this April, stream this one

Given its relatively low number of total subscribers, it's easy to understand how you might forget about Peacock, even if you're one of those subscribers. The service arrived on the streaming scene later in the game, and it was crowded out for many people by Netflix, Max, and Disney+.

Just because the service isn't as popular as some of its competitors, though, doesn't mean there aren't plenty of things worth watching on it. In addition to some devilishly fun original series like Poker Face, Peacock is also home to a great archive of older movies, some of which you might not expect to find on the service. We've selected an especially spooky one, Let the Right One In, as a movie you should definitely check out this April.
