They watch the show because people have been morbidly fascinated by serial killers since Jack the Ripper. I guess the viewers want to understand how someone can become a monster like that. Also, to learn from the victims - see how they could have escaped or not been caught by him in the first place. It is the same reason the people used to tell each other really scary fairy tales with monsters and boogiemans (and no happy endings).

My ex loved that shit. But she was this really really Christian girl. She said it fascinated her. Well, she turned out to be one sadistic bitch. Her and her family had so many secrets they kept from everyone. Her dad was ATF, devout Christian, with a ridiculous porn addiction. I couldn't even watch Dahmer and I'm a Marine vet. Sometimes it's a weird fantasy people live out through TV. Sometimes it's being able to connect with them, which is fucking terrifying, and overly empathize. There are a ton of reasons, but I think these shows are honestly bad for people. It normalizes shit that should never be allowed to be normalized

Cuz finally it is not a sanatized fucking show, made to push a fuckin political agenda. The show is well made and crazy good, for a change look at house of dragon and fuckin pathetic ring of power give me some break

People overrate the power needed to kill someone. In reality its ridiculously easy most of those murderers are half brain dead morons we keep alive just because of numerous mistakes with capital punishment.. They dont deserve even tiny bit of fascination just look at atrocities Russians did or Iranian guards. Impressed much?

true crime detective shows are soothing to me. great background noise when I can't sleep well. I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this

Because of the low IQ on the rise.
