Netflix’s Top 10 is always changing, but landing near the top doesn’t necessarily mean a show is winning everyone over. Case in point: the streamer’s current number two series, Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, is getting some seriously mixed reactions, with critics and viewers alike less than impressed.
The fourth season of Netflix’s Monster anthology series follows Lizzie Borden (Ella Beatty), who was tried and acquitted for the 1892 axe murders of her father and stepmother in Fall River, Massachusetts. The cast also includes Vicky Krieps, Charlie Hunnam, Rebecca Hall, Jessica Barden, Joey Pollari, Billie Lourd and Sarah Paulson.
Despite having a pretty stacked cast and all the ingredients for a juicy true-crime drama, the series doesn’t seem to be landing with audiences. On Rotten Tomatoes, it currently has a 42 percent critics score and a 35 percent audience score, and some of the reviews are, well, not exactly glowing.
