So I watched the first and last episode. There are too many outrageous liberties taken with the Ed gein story to make this enjoyable. Why couldn’t the writers stick to the story instead of making this series such a train wreck? Richard Speck being trans and communicating with Ed gein are just two inaccuracies that have me shaking my head.

My wife makes me watch far too much Ryan Murphy shite...he is good at cinematography and ok with a cool idea....his story telling is absolute horsehit though.

If they would have stuck to the Ed Gein story, it would have been enough for about 3 shows and it would have been fine.

But, there are so many side stories I can't keep up. At least half the series is filler.

Just watched it. Very so so. Story telling was all over the place. Just stick with Ed Gein stuff that's why I watched it.

Charlie Hunnam was good at least.
