Is it for me?
Viewers who like Ryan Murphy excess over a faithful true-crime retelling will enjoy this gory, melodramatic gothic horror. Music and needle drops set the mood, and the story keeps cutting away to Elizabeth Báthory and Aileen Wuornos. Ella Beatty plays Lizzie as charming in public while her stepmother makes her days miserable at home. Vicky Krieps gives Bridget an intense, slightly off-kilter closeness to Lizzie.
Before you start
Each Monster season is a separate story, so you can start here without seeing the others; the episodes run in order and lean on flashbacks.
1 season, 8 episodes, 49 min each, about 7 hours so far
