starring Charlie Hunnam as Ed Gein.

Synopsis: "The series explores the life of convicted murderer and body snatcher Ed Gein (Charlie Hunnam), whose crimes served as inspiration for several Hollywood films."

Really enjoying it so far. Way way creepier than Dahmer imo

I didn't think there was too much to this story. Anxious to watch it though.

On episode two. Only complaint do far is that this is a pretty bad take of Alfred Hitchcock. This guy is retarded looking and sounding

Pretty chilling overall though. This dude knows how to make a creepy killer mini series that’s for sure.

I can’t get over his voice and the way he speaks. Hell of an actor.

They probably add lots of fictional aspects for entertainment value.

Was kind of looking forward to this one, but the reviews out there are just terrible. Is it as bad as they’re making it out to be?

3 episodes in. This is quite good, but a lot more graphic than the other two

I think it's pretty good so far. You have to watch this as a horror show, and not a crime show like Dahmer/Menendez

Yeah. I think the common theme among the negative reviews is how violent/graphic the show is, and how that takes the stage. But I don’t mind that really if the story is still solid.

Typical Ryan Murphy gay horror. Gein being an inspiration is real. His story is crszy enough to not embdlish tbe perversion. The Hollywood aspect of this is rediculous.

Just finished episode two. Big drop off in quality. Clearly taking liberties with a lot of stuff and going out of their way to make Hitchcock look bad, which is odd.

Very weird episode, too much going on. Anthony Perkins visions mixing with Geins and then Nazi Germany visions all thrown together.

Shoot. I actually forgot Ryan Murphy was behind this series. I really don’t dig the overly theatrical world he creates. I might still give it a shot, because I’m intrigued by the Ed gein story, but I’m a lot less enthusiastic knowing this now.

Seems like an Ed Gein themed version of American Horror story to me. It’s all over the place with the Nazi stuff along with Hitchcock/ psycho
