Critics Consensus

Against all odds, Monarch continues to pack a striking gut-punch of action-drama by embracing its Legacy of Monsters' talent and leading with a cast of rich and complex characters.

Audience Says

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters roars back with a Kong-sized, action-packed return to the MonsterVerse -- even if its human drama doesn’t always keep up with the mayhem.

The fleshing out of the MonsterVerse continues to fail to make most of its human characters interesting, but scrapes by on the outsize thrills of its Titanic action.

May not reach the emotional heights of Toho’s superb “Godzilla Minus One” (2023), but it comes closer than any Monsterverse entry so far.

If you love Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and other kaiju monster flicks, but have yet to check out Apple’s modern take on the genre, now is the time to start.

I’m really not the target audience for this show, but for all its faults "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" season 2 did interest me enough to see it through to the end and still have some interest in seeing where a few of these characters go...

Delivers an exciting and hard-hitting series that stands on its own but also knows how to keep viewers excited for the larger future of the MonsterVerse.

Japan will always be home to the greatest Godzilla fare ... but Monarch is Hollywood’s finest effort.

The Godzillaverse continues in this thriller of a series. The action is wonderful, and the characters are compelling and well-written.

While not Breaking Bad, this series is certainly an emotional and compelling piece of lore for the Monsterverse. Kurt Russell steals the show.

Ignore the nonsensical reviews from the non-discerning "fans." This is series focused on universe-building.

This is a must-watch for any Godzilla fan looking for more than just flashy special effects and eye candy.

I have been watching since Season 1, and this is even better. Keep up the good work on the Monsterverse!

Monsters? What monsters? Instead, we get to watch pathetic characters repeat the phrase "it's my fault" over and over, scene after scene. One hyper-annoying tortured soul after another hyper annoying tortured soul trying to save the world ... or, maybe, trying to save monsters we never actually see. This is some of the laziest, most derivative writing and character development you will ever watch ... Unfortunately, too many of the main characters survive being squashed like bugs.
