CulterixNetflix’s “Monster” anthology tackles the Lizzie Borden case
Ryan Murphy’s true-crime anthology returned with “Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story.”
Ryan Murphy's true-crime anthology series “Monster” returned this week with “Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story,” its latest deep dive into a real historical case built around a single infamous figure.
Each prior season of this anthology has landed as one of Netflix's most-discussed releases of its window, which puts real pressure on this installment to match that pattern rather than just ride the format's past success — a real historical case like Borden's gives Murphy's team well-documented ground to work from.
Why it matters. This anthology has a track record of becoming Netflix's most-talked-about show each time it returns.
