Trivia
Although psychiatrists are not bound of law to tell the police if their patient confessed to committing a crime in their past, or even answer police asks them questions about a crime they are investigating, they are legally not allowed to divulge information without a subpoena. A subpoena, is a court order that commands an individual to either testify or to hand over documents. Dr. Oziel calls his mistress and tells her that Erik confessed to the murders of his parents and that Lyle, who he implied was also involved was on his way. This was not only illegal but a breech of ethics and trust between doctor and patient. Dr. Oziel tells Lyle that whatever Erik tells Lyle in his office, he (Dr. Oziel) cannot tell anyone; while this is true, he however, is not Lyle's doctor, so whatever Lyle says, is not under ethical and legal laws.

S1- marvellous, S2- pretty great

S1- 9/10; S2- 7/10

Season 1 is absolutely fantastic and equally terrifying and that makes it, in my opinion, one of the best shows about a serial killer.

However, Ryan Murphy approached the second season differently.

Season 2, which tackles the Menendez brothers' trial, has a less dramatic and at times almost comical tone than Dahmer for obvious reasons but it's still pretty solid. There's less emotional scenes but since this time the narrative shifts and the audience is supposed to sympathise with the perpetrators, since they present themselves as the victims, it makes sense why it's not as disturbing or dramatic as the first season. Strong performances from the main cast, especially the brothers and Javier Bardem of course and overall an interesting case but a terrible tragedy.
