re: Monster-The Lizzie Borden Story

It’s very Ryan Murphy. I had to start researching the Lizzie Borden history after the first episode. Evidently there’s a book that was written that sort of pushes a lot of the theories that Murphy incorporates into this version.

Someone made this, and is proud of it. That's shocking. It's time to reign in the theater kids.

Just finished. I actually enjoyed it and thought the juxtaposition with Aileen Wuornos was well done. I always hated on Sarah Paulson in AHS but she absolutely CRUSHES as Wuornos. I never saw Monster, curious to know how she stacks up with Theron’s performance.
I will say though it should have been 7 episodes maybe even 6. Episode 8 felt pretty unnecessary and way too drawn out.

Sarah Paulson was awesome. The music I thought was the best part of series. I watched it all so it kept me engagaged but again just really bizarre.

Ah the feminist quest, killing her parents for the patriarchy.

I could’ve done without the whole Aileen Wuornos side plot. She never stayed in Lizzie’s house, so there was no reason to shoehorn her into the series.

It's about what I'd expect from Ryan Murphy, which isn't much. He still hasn't found a second trick.

I got legitimately angry when they used "The End" by The Doors...in the 3rd episode for a pointless killing that probably didn't happen at all in the story and wasn't the end...to ANYTHING. It just sounded cool to them, and they had no idea how to use that song at all. I hate this show so much, and now I have to finish it out of pure hatewatch standards. I want whomever decided putting modern music over period pieces to be sent to Cambodia.

it was fricking terrible.
I’m done with the Monster series. They've progressively gotten worse and worse.

Yea it was not good. Had some fine moments but man were the final few episodes just absolutely garbage. This one definitely seemed the most Ryan Murphy of the series.

The wife was watching it and I happened to glance up and see the maid showing Lizzy a steam powered dildo machine.
Certainly was a WTF moment for me.
Pretty much realized the story was crap at that moment.

true, but I believe she had mentioned Lizzy in interviews and such. Didn't mid it, remember it is Ryan Murphy. Always a weird twist with him. Nip/Tuck taught us that from the get go.

Never underestimate the gravitational pull for today's writers to make everything lame and gay, no matter the subject matter.

Yep. Got two episodes into this one and only the first episode of the Ed Gein one and I was done with both. I enjoyed the Dahmer one.

what? I'm so glad I never watch these things. I came here to find out of Lizzie is now a feminist hero, and the thread delivered so much more.

The Chattanooga. Not a good show. Lizzie actress to cute for role. Jax Teller as the dad is hilarious. Rebecca Hall is hot as evil stepmom. To many episodes. Changed story to much.

It was basically a radical feminist Lizzie Borden biography that spent eight episodes excusing her meticulously planning and brutally murdering her father and stepmother, then covering it up. But apparently that’s all okay because they were mean to her.

It's worth watching, just for how bad it is.
