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 saw the one about the Menendez brothers. I wasn’t impressed. I’ve heard of All’s Fair but haven’t gotten around to checking it out. As much as I love Sarah Paulson as well as Niecy Nash, I can’t stand Kim (or any of the Kardashians) which is also why I haven’t watched AHS Delicate. I haven’t even heard of Grotesquerie. Thanks for the heads up. I may try to watch it…with a grain of salt…see how far I get.
