It’s no secret that the internet is going crazy over Netflix’s serial killer debuts. The face of them all is the series “Dahmer Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.” It is Netflix’s second-most-watched show and in return to its popularity, people have started dressing up as him on social media. The show portrayed how easy it was to get away with consecutive murders and how the justice system did little to prevent it. 

After being convicted in the last episode, Jeffery Dahmer possessed a handful of fans with them sending him cards, sympathy notes and even wanting an autograph. To add more to Netflix’s serial killer interest just released last week, The Good Nurse, about Charles Cullen who was a nurse for 16 years and worked at several hospitals confessed to forty murders but only twenty-nine confirmed. 

The Good Nurse is currently charted as number one in Netflix movies. 

A big streaming platform such as Netflix should not produce or showcase these murders, especially with the younger viewer audience they have. People would choose to live their life without fear of their next-door neighbor or if their visit to the ER would be their last one. 

Any company would want to make a profit, but it shouldn’t be at the expense of copycat killers. It was disturbing how smart these murders were and even more disturbing how people could take inspiration from these individuals and do what they did, possibly on a more broader scale. 

People now will be skeptical of nurses, doctors, and police officers who should be trusted to save your life.
