Two of Jeffrey's victims also spoke during the first episode of Dr Phil's three-day special about Dahmer and his victims. McGraw told TMZ that many of the family members of Dahmer's victims were hurt by Netflix's decision to create its drama series, Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. Many have said the show has forced them to open old wounds. Since the death of his son, Lionel has been involved with several TV shows and documentaries, including Biography, Dateline NBC, and Dahmer on Dahmer: A Serial Killer Speaks. However, Lionel was not happy with the latest show on his son's crimes, and has been seeking legal advice on whether he should sue Netflix over Dahmer \- Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, a source told The U.S. Sun. Lionel is reportedly upset he was not contacted regarding the controversial hit show, which he believes glamorized his son's crimes, according to his carer. He is also said to be unhappy that streaming giant Netflix did not seek permission to use tapes made by Dahmer's legal team for the new docuseries Conversations With A Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes.
