Lala R Nov 24 Absolutely loved it. Tough real-life story but the directors and writers did an excellent job telling the stories from the point of view of the families, law enforcement and victims. I’m so glad it wasn’t full of gore and clowns! And it didn’t sensationalize John Wayne. The actors were all absolutely amazing portraying their role. Thank you to the writers and directors for providing a riveting series.Bravo!! See more Lioz E Nov 15 It seems like we’re getting back to the days when, in the name of morality, the actual story is censored. Although Monster (the Netflix anthology) and Devil sound similar, the latter prefers not to let you see the monster. Part of these kinds of stories is the complexity of the characters and the fascinating pathologies they have. It seems like they wanted to feed us with the spoon and look so-called "moral." Having said that, the series was done very well, and the main character is played very well. It’s just watered down, reminding me of the days when TV was much less courageous (and maybe that’s exactly where we’re headed). I recommend watching it for anyone who isn’t as fascinated by the twisted mind, the macabre, or the criminology behind it, and would rather see a good crime/police drama that includes a very interesting case served as a kind of side dish with a great main actor. If you are interested in serial killers and that world, just take into account that it’s not the focus of the story. See more Michael B Nov 9 The story and acting was phenomenal. I cried when the Rob Piest story aired (on a later episode). At least we found out what happened to that poor kid. The young actor was amazing! All the victims names should be remembered. See more Kashgar A Nov 9 Honestly one of the most harrowing and distressing things I’ve ever seen. Each episode takes time to honour and bring back to life one or more of the victims. Every actor does immense justice to their role. It actually hurts my heart to watch. See more Avindu G Nov 7 It's often the shock and awe that attracts an audience to a true crime drama. And we are often introduced one or few criminally insane individuals who appears to be unearthly or abominable. But this series manifests itself into a more eye-opening account of how criminal the negligence and political favouritism was in creating this monster. How our societies have been failing to put basic welfare before personal gains is what turns out to be the real serial murderer at the conclusion of this documentary. See more Nov 7 Absolutely riveting from the very first episode. Every actor involved so far (two episodes in) has been top tier. Thoroughly impressed. See more Read all reviews
