Monster (2022–2024)
8/10
This had me on the edge of my seat the whole time in a bad way!

The way that this was handled was prefect, there was no glorification of the violence that some series allow. This was a story driven decent into his life where no one can feel sorry for him. We see all moments from his younger ages to his worthy death in prison which is only the second murder we actually see play out on screen.

With so many series that center around serial killers the murders are at the forefront just to satisfy a certain audience. Much like Mindhunter and also the fictional Hannibal the story is well written and completely grounded to be true to the victims. There were moments of shouting at the Tv on how did he get away with so much for so long. Which throws so many questions at law enforcement during this time.

The acting performance from Peters is one of these that should be herald as one of the greatest in tv for being so like the real like person but not the way that quite a few people were reacting during the height of the series popularity. Just goes to so some people are weirdly drawn to serial killers.

Overall this is one of the great depictions of a serial killer totally up there with the mindhunter actors!
