Just watched the first episode of this, Charlie Hunnan as Ed was good,I remember him playing Nathan in Queer As Folk in 1999, I thought his acting then was bad, what accent was that supposed to be? Sounded more Irish than Mancunian, anyway better in this.

Wisconsin looked bleak, though everyone seemed to live in a mansion, which I suppose makes living in a permanently Winter Hellscape more bearable.

Thoughts on it.

PS It's on Netflix.

Just finished watching the 2nd episode. Good so far.

Can't help but think his accent is based on Disney's Goofy though!

Yes, I agree! I've seen a black and white news clip from 1957 of Ed Gein where a reporter asks him questions, one of which is how to pronounce his name, and his voice is fairly normal.

Thanks I must have a look for that.

He was the inspiration behind ‘Psycho’ by Alfred Hitchcock.

All the seasons of Monster have been great, Dahmer, Menendez brothers and Ed Gein have been great

"All I keep thinking is how much he looks like John Cena"

HAHAHA this is all I could think too.

Then I realised it mustn't be Cena because we can see him.

Anyway, seems it's all more sexualised, sensationalist, fetishised shite from Ryan Murphy. He turns EVERY story into a big gay agenda. The Anthony Perkins side story really didn't need forcing in. Nor did the weird Nazi stuff, all speculative and altogether unrelated to the actual acts of Gein.

Oh, and the entire arc with his 'girlfriend' was proven false too.

After watching sons of Anercey I was impressed with the lead actor.

I've been enjoying it for what it is... It's not a documentary so much of it comes across as apocryphal

But it's entertaining enough

I enjoyed it but it's pretty much fiction. I have studied Ed Gein quite a bit over the years and they have been very creative with the truth.

Don't know why they wanted to make up stuff when they had a person as complex as Gein was. They should have made only 3 episodes instead of 8. The other Monster shows are better.

The bloke playing him sounds like Goofy.
