Ed Gein’s series titled as Monster has been running successfully on Netflix with many viewers calling it a masterpiece.
Created by Ryan Murphy, the show is being largely compared to Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 horror mystery film, Psycho, mainly because the creator also considered the film as inspirational while making the Ed Gein series.
The Netflix based horror show portrays the real life serial killer and body snatcher of Wisconsin. It explores the influence Ed Gein’s crimes had especially on Alfred’s Psycho.
The character portrayed by Anthony Perkins in the old classic movie has already been criticized and has been labelled as “tasteless” due to the distressing link it draws between Ed and Anthony.
Now Perkins son Osgood has expressed his discontentment on the depiction of his father in the show. He called out the series and confessed while speaking with TMZ that he hasn’t seen it and "would not watch it with a 10-foot pole."
Ed Gein series has made Perkins’ son upset as he thinks that nowadays streamers are just earning profit from true crime stories in the name of “glamorous and meaningful content.”
While referring to Murphy’s new show, he said that the online streaming culture is “increasingly devoid of context and that the Netflix-ization of real pain [ie the authentic human experiences wrought by ‘actual events’] is playing for the wrong team.”
Monster features Charlie Hunnam, Suzanne Son, Laurie Metcalf, Tom Hollander and Tyler Jacob Moore in key roles.
