09/28/2022 02:46 pm EDT
Many wondering how the title was approved
"It's a good show, but of course Ryan Murphy's best show, American Crime Story, insists on making the umbrella title of the series the subtitle of each season instead of the other way around," the above Twitter user continued. "Truly the mind is a labyrinth."
The title is driving some viewers 'insane'
"This drives me f-ing insane," wrote another person. "Like pick a f-ing title! 'Oh man can't wait to get off work so I can keep watching DAHMER MONSTER THE JEFFREY DAHMER STORY.'"
Many wondering why 'Dahmer' was mentioned twice in the title
"Did we mention it's about dahmer?" one person quipped. "dahmer story, about jeffrey dahmer, the monster, dahmer, monster dahmer."
Disbelief
"I can't believe the official title of the show is Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story," added somebody else.
'Pick a title'
"Yes I know the new Dahmer show is f-ing people up, and I'm sorry.... but can we please talk about the title?!" asked one person. "Why TF is it called Dahmer-Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer story? What kinda committee meeting bulls- ridiculousness is that? Pick a title lazy MF! /rant."
One person wanta s docuseries on the person who came up with the title
"I want a true crime docuseries about the sadistic madman who came up with the title DAHMER – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and the failures in the system that allowed that title to make it all the way to release," tweeted a viewer.
Why is the title so long and wordy?
Although neither Murphy nor Netflix have addressed the conversation surrounding the show's title, some Twitter users had a few ideas. Many seem to believe Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story was chosen as a title, despite its repetitiveness and wordiness, simply due to SEO purposes and algorithms, with one person tweeting, "my guess is that it's about making sure search engine algorithms bring it forward."
