“Season 2, “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” makes sure to loop O.J.”
“Women are furious enough to kill!”
“(He cheats, he drinks, he hates himself, yada yada yada.) Similarly, “Monster” can’t sustain itself once it abandons its hard pivot to straight comedy.”
“Perhaps showrunner and co-creator Ian Brennan showed restraint, even foresight, by keeping the Floridian killer out of Season 3’s meta movie storyline.”
“It’s an idea Netflix ‘s anthology has routinely fallen back on in lieu of more incisive commentary, usually inviting the rhetorical question: “Who’s the real monster here?” The series has never been good, and it’s often upsettingly bad, but Season 4 marks the first time “Monster” feels wholly disinterested in its own existence.”
““The Lizzie Borden Story” can’t muster much to say beyond observing civilization’s centuries-old systemic oppression of women while acknowledging the fury it evokes.”
“She tosses scalding soup in her maid’s face because she made the wrong stew.”
“When scripts already feature Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates (both played by Joey Pollari), Ted Levine as Buffalo Bill (played by Golden Garnick), and Gunner Hansen as Leatherface (Brock Powell), the prospect of adding an actor playing Charlize Theron playing Wuornos sounds tempting.”

““Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” (which was retroactively and awkwardly dubbed as such to establish the surprise hit as the start of an anthology franchise) extends its unflinching gaze beyond the twice-titular cannibal to include John Wayne Gacy and Ed Gein.”
“She simply asks that we witness the woman’s final desperate attempt to be a better person than her fate intended.” “Monster,” the TV series, arguably does excuse the murders, but it also manages to simply state the ideas that “Monster,” the movie, makes us feel.”
“Rebecca Hall in ‘Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story’ Courtesy of Suzanne Tenner / Netflix Lee hitchhikes into “Monster” in the fourth episode as Lizzie’s longtime admirer.”
