Evan Peters in Monster (2022)

Review by RandomAction

Episode One

Monster

5/10

Simple Details Neglected

I mean, it's obviously well filmed, the tension is impressive, and Evan Peters knocks it out of the park, but they depict the scenario described by Tracy Edwards all wrong. Details that have been described by Edwards himself are either heavily altered or left out entirely. Frankly, I'm tired of filmmakers getting the simplest details wrong for the sake of minor advantages in storytelling. Details that are literally described on video, in court, word for word by the person who experienced it.

If I'm going to create a depiction of something so horrible and traumatic, I'm going to conduct as much research as possible, and I'm going to follow every personal account to the best of my ability. If you aren't going to get the details down to an absolute science, then why make this in the first place? Financial gain, preying on the sudden true crime obsession plaguing the world? Then give the money to the families whose lives were devastated at the hands of this lunatic. I've heard Edwards himself is in rough shape. Lend a helping hand instead.

I'll give the rest of the show a chance, but Tracy Edwards is kind of the biggest deal in the capture of Dahmer. Pretty terrible thing to fumble, and pretty difficult to fumble too.
