KinoDobirka editorial rating
8.3 / 10
What I enjoyed most was the show’s attention to its visual presentation. A lot of care went into recreating the era through the costumes, hairstyles, interiors, streets, lighting, and everyday details. All of this makes the period feel convincing and helps immerse you in the story. The visuals are dark and Gothic, yet surprisingly beautiful.
There is also plenty of blood. The series doesn’t shy away from the brutality of the events and frequently leans into disturbing and graphic scenes. They stand out even more against the carefully designed sets and costumes, creating a striking contrast between beauty and violence.
I also liked the overall atmosphere. There is a constant sense of tension, while the gloomy houses, dark interiors, and cold color palette create an unsettling mood. Even during quieter scenes, there is always a feeling that something terrible is about to happen.
Overall, Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story worked for me as a combination of true crime, Gothic aesthetics, and a bloody thriller. The visual side was what impressed me most — the series recreates its period beautifully and creates a strong, distinctive atmosphere.
Who it's for: This season will appeal to viewers who enjoy dark crime stories, Gothic settings, period details, and striking visual storytelling. There are plenty of bloody scenes, tension, and carefully crafted details of the era that give the series its distinctive mood.
