Monica R Oct 22 Amazing acting. Loved every episode See more Andréa K Oct 15 The first two episodes are good, except for the distracting Winnie the Pooh voice. Laurie Metcalf is always excellent. The third episode was confusing. I couldn't tell what was real, what was psychosis, what the time line was, etc. I'm not sure I'll finish the series. Spoiler: Hitchcock was supposed to have been inspired by Gein when he wrote Psycho. Why would the casting of the movie and discussion with Hitchcock interrupt the storyline? It made it confusing & unwatchable. See more Nathan K. @KateNibler Oct 15 The only reason I'm docking a star is due to the inflation of the story and the choice for him to be ripped. The reason the story was written this way was for the viewer to feel lost and disjointed. Ed commonly referred to the episodes where he murdered people as dreams, forgetting how, why or what happened. There are so many simple people leaving one star reviews frustrated by the disjointed story, that can't realize the glaring meta story design. This could have been more tragic, painful, and brought a larger message about mental health. Ed lived in fear, but he almost seems cooperative with his mother. I wish Murphy would have leaned more into the sadness and darkness. More into the hallucinations. See more Paper Lions A Oct 11 Those people who thought it was a documentary are way off base. It's Ryan Murphy, for goodness sake. It was heart-wrenching towards the end. What a sad life he led. No real love at all. Treating corpses like they were real people was the only way he could deal with relationships. Very sad. Acting performances were off the charts by the two main leads. It was homage to the development of horror stories across the last fifty years. Not many to be accurate or depicting real events. See more Crystal M Oct 10 I have been a long time fan of the Ed Gein story, I’m also a big fan of the Monster series and Charlie Hunnam but my god this was terrible. The multiple story lines were haphazard and distracted from the main story of Ed and his victims, the voice of Ed with some of the humour also felt random and made the whole thing hard to take seriously. This was one of the worlds most twisted individuals and it just all felt very silly and bizarre. See more Alicia E @Alic94 Oct 10 Charlie hunnams acting is just amazing. But sadly this documentary wasn’t. Hardly any of it was based on any truth. (I only managed to watch the first four episodes, while forwarding certain parts). It was just so gross at times and I couldn’t stomach it. Genuinely the only way I got through four episodes was because Charlie was the actor. A proper documentary should be made based on facts and evidence. But well done Charlie. Always such a great actor!! 🩷 See more Read all reviews
