The latest installment of Ryan Murphy’s Monster series on Netflix appears to be off to a slightly better start than its predecessor. Monster: The Ed Gein Story, which premiered on October 3, drew 12.2M views in its first three days of availability,

Now that more reviews have come in, the Rotten Tomatoes score of Ed Gein has sunk more than 20%, and now stands at just a 23% critic score. That’s below the previous two Monster entries, and also Netflix’s True Crime serial killer series, Conversations with a Killer. Here’s how the list breaks down:

Monster: The Ed Gein Story, in its first three days, garnered 12.2 million views from 90.6 million hours watched. In addition, the show has featured in the number 1 spot in 72 regions globally and is in the top 10s in all 91 countries. Now, usually, we’d be able to do big comparisons, but there are two major reasons why we can’t:

Though Gein was charged with the 1957 murder of hardware store owner Bernice Worden in 1968 (he also later admitted to killing tavern owner Mary Hogan in 1954), he was never sentenced to prison. Rather, he was deemed legally “insane” and was remanded to a psychiatric institution where he remained until his death in 1984, aged 77.

The Ed Gein Story' imagines Gein as the template for serial killers, but did he correspond with another infamous mass murderer?

Monster: The Ed Gein Story' explores the titular serial killer's complex relationship with his mother, leaving viewers wondering more about his father, George. Here's everything to know about Ed Gein's father.

The Netflix anthology's co-creator Ian Brennan refutes that the series glamorizes the murders: "I don't think this season is sensational at all. I think it's sensationally good," he told THR.
