The guy who played Dahmer made him appear to be a retard

When the real-life Dahmer was pretty charismatic and well-spoken. I don't know if that was an intentional slight to the memory of Dahmer, or the actor just couldn't capture the essence of the man.

imo the portrayal is more Napoleon Dynamite than Jeffrey Dahmer

I think he came off like the Dahmer I saw in prison interviews. Dahmer did seem to talk slow and like he was a bit off. Which makes sense because you certainly wouldn't be a normal person and do what he did.
