Sex & Nudity
-

- Dahmer masturbates to pictures of women and then he starts thinking about killing something.
- Strong sexual content, dialogue, and references. There are no prolonged sex scenes; most acts are insinuated, and many are implied. However, the depraved nature corresponding with the disturbing scenes tied with violence make the content more disturbing. Dahmer is implied to have sex with severed body parts and/or dead bodies, although it isn't explicitly shown.
- Jeffrey Dahmer gets put in jail for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy. He also cuts off someone's head and has sexual relations with it.

- Lots of scenes in gay clubs and bars from where Dahmer brings back many men to his apartment. Some brief rear nudity is seen.

- Full frontal male nudity for about 3 seconds
- Characters are shown nude from the back. Sexual violence is the crux of the series.
Violence & Gore
-
- One scene has Dahmer taking blood at his job; he is then seen drinking the blood pack and it covers his face and chest in blood as he downs it.
- Dahmer is seen dissecting dead animals.
- Dahmer dismembers someone in his grandma's basement. You mostly see blood, and Dahmer cutting, but nothing too graphic.
- The police find a decapitated head in Dahmer's refrigerator.
- Dahmer cuts the head of a victim in his grandma's house, and is seen kissing it.
- Limbs are seen in acid tubs with flesh burned off.
- A scene of Dahmer cooking and eating his victim.
- Has scenes of intense violence, gore, blood, and torture. The violence is more like Hitchcock's style with most of it offscreen; not all of Dahmer's actions are depicted as graphic as the subject matter could have allowed. A fair amount of restraint is used, that said, the series is fairly violent and disturbing.
- Frequent footage of disturbing murders and aftermath, including vats of decomposed bodies, drilling into skulls and other body parts. Guns and knives are also present. Sexual violence was Dahmer's MO. Expect storylines around cannibalism and necrophilia.

Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Insanely dark, might be upsetting to sensitive viewers.
- Dahmer screams at his grandmother when she takes away a store mannequin he kept in his bed. Very intense scene as his grandmother is terrified.
- An oppossum is shown with a hole in its head. Other dead animals appear onscreen. May upset animal lovers with the way Dahmer loves to dissect them for his personal needs.
- This is a highly disturbing show that recounts Dahmer's murders, and the times he got away with murder. Very intense to watch given what he does with corpses and to minors.
- All the scenes with his victims will be intense, as he goes from nice, to then trying to make them stay with him, to then murdering them.
- The show is gruesome but far tamer compared to Ryan Murphy's other work, but the show is disturbing because the murders in the show are the way they happened in real life with Jeffery Dahmer.
- This series is not for children. Very disturbing topics.
- Some scenes that shouldn't be watched when eating (Cannabalism)
- Show is based on a true story
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- In the first episode, Dahmer holds a man hostage with a knife. After some time, the man manages to attack Dahmer, run away, and get the police. Later the police find photos of dead bodies, graphically showing missing heads or limbs.
- Dahmer kills his first victim Steven Hicks. You see Dahmer hit him with a dumbell, and Steven is on the floor. Dahmer then chokes him out, takes him to his shed, and dismembers him, but you don't see any of that, you just hear noises.
- In a prison church, Dahmer is stabbed in the neck by a fellow inmate. He holds his neck, but blood is shown. You never see the open wound. Disturbing.
- In the very last episode, Dahmer is hit with a pipe on the head and it kills him. Blood and gore is shown. Very realistic and disturbing. It's shown multiple times on screen in the episode.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
- Dahmer regularly drugs his victims crushing pills of a sedative and hypnotic benzodiazepine and putting it into his victims' drinks. He was able to legally obtain the drug by telling doctors he had insomnia due to change shifts of his work.
- Jeffrey Dahmer's mother is depicted as using a variety of prescription drugs during her pregnancy, including morphine. Discussions over her constant abuse of prescription drugs between his parents and Joyce's Damher prescription drugs abuse is shown.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- In a very depressing scene that happened for real, Dahmer attacks a 14-year-old boy who manages to escape, but Dahmer managed to convince the police that the boy belonged to him, and he was brought back to Dahmer, who then murdered the boy.
- Episode 6 is emotional as the entire episode is centred around a deaf man who is searching for love and wanting to achieve a modeling career, but was murdered by Dahmer.
- Episode 7 is very intense in the last couple of minutes as Glenda can hear screaming and clattering, and a man begging Dahmer, and then a handsaw being used. The entire act is never seen, but it's very intense and disturbing.
- Episode 6 is especially disturbing and can be very upsetting, involving Tony, a deaf man that Dahmer had targeted. It is extremely disturbing and hard to watch, especially knowing these are based on true events.
- At the very last episode, Dahmer dies after being beaten to death by an inmate, this is emotional for some because he finally baptizes but dies shortly after
