Unreal" Another added: "How many years before we get the avengers style Dahmer/Bundy/btk/gacy/gein team up season?" A third slammed Netflix's decision, writing: "The fascination with criminals and murderers in American culture is nauseating. Just learned that the Dahmer series was renewed for TWO more seasons.

Netflix’s decision to renew its Monsters series after the success of Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story has been met with a mix of opinions
Netflix has announced that its Monster series will return for two more seasons following the huge success of the Jeffrey Dahmer story.
The streaming giants released Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story in September and it quickly became the second-most-viewed English TV show on the platform behind Stranger Things.
The focus of the series was on serial killer Dahmer, played by Evan Peters, who murdered 17 people between 1978 and 1991.
The next two series are set to look at the lives and actions of more infamous killers and while many fans of the show will be excited for what is to come, others slammed the decision.
