Monster: Silenced (2022)
Season 1, Episode 6
Heartbreaking
14 October 2022
This whole series broke my heart but especially this episode. The rejection and prejudice that Tony experienced set him up to be a perfect victim for Dahmer. He just wanted love and acceptance and the American dream- like everyone else. And he thought he'd found it with Dahmer. Accepting AND a photographer. Dream come true turns into a nightmare.

This show is so hard to watch. It's too masterful. Every episode I felt sick but felt I had to finish it. For once, it doesn't sensationalize or glorify the life of a killer. It makes it what it is. Hopeless and deceiving and terrifying. You feel like you've stepped into Dahmer's world (and mind) and it sucks. I feel so awful and jumbled up and dissociated and almost disjointed after watching an episode of this series. It's heartbreaking and terrifying and dark. "Being" in Dahmer's world is claustrophobic. You feel like one of the victims just from participating in watching it.

And this episode is the most heartbreaking.

This show is not enjoyable to watch. It's more of an eye opener. A realistic education on a psychopaths world. I was fascinated and disgusted the whole time but I got to episode 6 and there's only 10.... A specific kind of willing torture. It's gonna win so many awards and it was worth watching but I hope to never see a show or episode like this again.
