The Ed Gein Story and Billionaire’s Bunker

Monster: The Ed Gein Story

NETFLIX’S hit crime and biographical series, Monster returned in October with its third instalment, this time following the chilling story of Ed Gein, otherwise known as the Butcher of Plainfield. Set in the atmospheric transition between the 1940s and 1950s, the ominous series follows the story of Ed Gein, infamous suspected serial killer and body snatcher who inspired horror works including Psycho and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Though the acting has been acclaimed and the immersive worldbuilding impeccable, the narrative can be unfocused and sloppy at times.

Billionaire’s Bunker

When a group of billionaires trade their status and power for shelter in a luxury bunker, whirling chaos, an old family feud, and unprecedented global conflict ensues. Netflix’s Billionaire’s Bunker is quickly making its way to the top of the popularity lists for the streaming service, though it has been chided for its high-concept dystopia and sometimes-silly plot points. Notwithstanding, the series’ dramatic twists and turns, as well as its fast pace serve as a perfect autumn watch to be engrossed by and not think too hard about.
