Conversations with a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes (Season 1)

Conversations with a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes (2022) is a true-crime documentary series you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Joe Berlinger. Three episodes are built around never-before-aired audio recordings of Dahmer's own confessions, captured during his early-1990s legal proceedings.

Dahmer killed 17 people in Milwaukee across 13 years. Rather than restaging the crimes, Berlinger puts the camera on survivors, victims' families, detectives, and psychiatrists — the people who dealt with him face to face and still can't fully explain how the system kept missing the signs. The recordings run underneath their testimony: calm, precise, and deeply unsettling.

Berlinger previously used the same approach for his Ted Bundy series, but this one lands with more weight. The actual audio cuts through in a way dramatizations never quite manage. Stream Conversations with a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes online on iFILM.
