Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Monster is an American biographical crime drama anthology television series created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan for Netflix. The series dramatizes high-profile homicide cases in American history, with each season focusing on a different killer. Murphy and Brennan both serve as showrunners. Initially conceived as a limited series, the show was later renewed as an anthology after the success of its first season, Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, which premiered on September 21, 2022. It was followed by Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story in 2024 and Monster: The Ed Gein Story in 2025. A fourth season focusing on suspected killer Lizzie Borden is currently in post-production. The series has received mixed critical reception and sparked controversies across the first three seasons, particularly regarding the ethics of dramatizing true crime. Despite this, it has achieved worldwide commercial success and received numerous wins and nominations at major award ceremonies, including the Primetime Emmy Awards, the Golden Globe Awards, the Actor Awards, the Critics' Choice Awards, and the BAFTA Television Awards.
