La série a été très très bien réalisée, c'était très réaliste et le rôle de Hunnam était grandiose. Je ne comprends pas les critiques mais bien il faut de tous malheureusement pour faire un monde... J'ai toujours aimé les créations de Ryan Murphy j'accroche beaucoup le style qu'il donne à ces créations je trouve que c'était une très très bonne série et que pour les gens qui ne pas tous compris excusez-moi du terme mais des incultes il faut juste réfléchir un tout petit peu et le tour et jouer faut pas abuser. Certains commentaires je trouve personnellement qu'ils ne sont pas réellement fondés sur dirait qu'ils n'aime pas ce genre de choix à la base mais regarde quand même la série ?! Ironie du sort.... Bref série INCROYABLE JE RECOMMANDE VIVEMENT !!!!

É um capítulo que poderia ter sido o mais aterrorizante e psicológico da antologia, mas acaba se tornando o mais irregular. Ainda assim, há brilho nas margens: a ambientação é impecável, o elenco é comprometido e a direção consegue traduzir parte da insanidade de Gein em imagens fortes. Só falta à série a coragem de ir além do choque — de olhar nos olhos do verdadeiro monstro e encarar o que há por trás do espelho.

An all-out glorifying portrait of a notorious killer. The people's true crime fascination angle was interesting, with all those scenes about the filming of famous horror movies, but the series spends little time on it. The 'Mindhunter' "tribute" was insulting.

Monsters Ed Gein story: Somehow the show turns one of the worlds sickest most prolific murderers into a misunderstood Bobby Bouchay. The peril at some points is good, you really do get the relationship between Ed and his mother... But the rest isn't interesting enough. Sometimes you just have to copy the greats and do what they did to create the suspense and the peril needed convince the audience. But because they are spending too much time trying to convince you it's the world that made him that way - not the fact he was a hallucinatory schizophrenic they don't actually make him evil, or scary.

Monster: Ed Gein is an ambitious but deeply flawed entry in Ryan Murphy’s ongoing fascination with true crime and American horror mythology. What could have been a thoughtful psychological portrait instead collapses into a convoluted, poorly written mess obsessed with style over substance. The show feels more like a reflection of Murphy and his creative team’s infatuation with darkness and notoriety than an exploration of character or human psychology. The storytelling is fragmented and incoherent—less a narrative than a collage of pop culture references, campy visual indulgence, and misplaced theatrics. Even the boldest stylistic choices, like turning trauma into musical numbers, come across as tone-deaf and absurd rather than innovative. The only redeeming element is the lead actor, who delivers a committed and layered performance despite the weak material. His portrayal suggests there could have been a compelling story beneath the chaos if the writing and direction had trusted realism and restraint over spectacle. Unfortunately, the script reduces complex themes—mental illness, trauma, and violence—to shallow tropes. The portrayal of Ed Gein’s supposed schizophrenia as the root cause of his crimes is not only lazy but dangerously misleading. Research consistently shows that most people with schizophrenia are not violent; in fact, they are far more likely to be victims than perpetrators. Studies estimate that only around 10–15% of individuals with schizophrenia ever display violent behavior, and those cases are often linked to additional factors like substance abuse, social instability, or untreated symptoms. Simplifying such a complex condition into a horror trope reinforces stigma and erases the humanity of those living with it. Ultimately, Monster: Ed Gein mistakes provocation for depth. It’s more interested in shock value and self-reference than empathy or storytelling. Rather than probing the psychological and societal roots of violence, it glamorizes it, presenting trauma as a visual motif rather than an emotional truth. The series could have been a chilling study of identity, repression, and obsession—but instead, it becomes a hollow spectacle dressed in the language of seriousness. It’s a series fascinated by monstrosity, but the real monster here is the shallow writing masquerading as insight.
