Tonight on TV Party Tonight, we're reviewing, Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story. Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan return to Netflix with the fourth installment of their controversial true-crime anthology, following Jeffrey Dahmer, the Menendez brothers, and Ed Gein. Developed around the themes of Victorian repression and female rage, the eight-episode season stars Ella Beatty as Lizzie Borden, alongside Vicky Krieps, Charlie Hunnam, Rebecca Hall, Billie Lourd, and Sarah Paulson. Director Max Winkler embraces a blend of gothic horror, dark comedy, and psychological melodrama, with production taking place in Los Angeles and Rome. But the series has attracted criticism for its extravagant violence, uneven storytelling, and questionable historical accuracy. Although Borden was acquitted of murdering her father and stepmother in 1893, the show portrays her guilt as fact, inventing relationships, motives, and additional crimes. Tonight, we're examining the performances, production choices, and whether Monster's dramatic ambitions justify its liberties with history.
