Monster

Monster is Ryan Murphy's true-crime anthology for Netflix, each season dramatizing a notorious American killer and the failures that let them operate. The first, on Jeffrey Dahmer, became a streaming phenomenon and set the template; later installments turned to the Menendez brothers and to Ed Gein, the grave robber who inspired decades of horror cinema.

It is a television-only anthology, with each story standing alone under a shared title. The series courts as much controversy as acclaim, repeatedly raising questions about dramatizing real victims even as it draws enormous audiences.

The Monster franchise spans 3 series in the CrossBinge catalog.
