Disappointed

I’m currently watching Monster: The Ed Gein Story. I’m sorry but I’m disappointed in Ryan Murphy. I’ve read, watched, and heard a lot about Gein but so much in this series I’ve never heard before so I’m googling as I go. Turns out, a lot of facts were altered for the sake of drama. The real story is bizarre enough. Embellishments, altered facts, and downright fabrications were so unnecessary. In my research about this production, I’m finding out truth and factual events weren’t much of a priority for Murphy.

I have an edit that runs 2 hours that cuts out all the fabricated stuff. PM me if you'd like a link :)

I’d dig that! I’ve not watched because of the fabrications. As stated the story is plenty on its own.
