Why to watch: Ryan Murphy once again reunites with his American Horror Story star Evan Peters (newly minted with an Emmy award) to focus on yet another American horror story - the terrifying crimes of notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. With Peters in the titular role, the series will focus on the systems and law enforcement who failed to stop the monster, and those who tried but were ignored (as represented by a suspicious neighbor played by Scream Queen Niecy Nash).
