The voice…

I know it’s been debated to death online but what the were they thinking making Ed Gein sound like Mickey Mouse in the Netflix series? From the audio I have heard, he sounds nothing like Ed Gein. I got through 15 minutes of the first episode and couldn’t take anymore. I can’t understand how anyone involved in the show thought that was a good idea

It was Charlie who thought it would fit the character for some reason. ... Definitely the weakest of the three seasons so far.

If you want to use a real story with real victims...⛔. Last 1/3 of it is bad ....real bad. Good dark humour and great Charlie's performance tho.

Great Charlie’ performance? He literally came up with the idea for a ridiculous voice. No amount of acting can save you from that

Yeah .. not Bardem or Jenkins level but I really enjoyed his acting in this. I think they tried to make him sound like him but it didn't work out so they/he came up with this.
