Netflix’s Second Most Popular Series Falls Short, but Sarah Paulson Shines

The current Netflix hit, Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, is attracting a mix of reactions despite its high ranking. Following the infamous 1892 axe murders, the series stars Ella Beatty as Lizzie Borden, alongside a strong cast including Vicky Krieps and Sarah Paulson. However, it has received disappointing ratings, with critics giving it a 42% score and audiences rating it at 35% on Rotten Tomatoes. Review responses suggest that it hasn’t quite resonated with viewers.
