The Monster of Florence Review - Netflix's Dark & Disturbing True Crime Thriller

Описание: The Monster of Florence Review - Netflix's Dark & Disturbing True Crime Thriller

Netflix dives into a chilling cold case with The Monster of Florence, a four-episode true crime thriller based on the real-life serial killings that horrified Italy in the 1980s. From creators Leonardo Fasoli and Stefano Sollima, the series is a non-linear, dark, and highly intense look at a series of brutal, unsolved murders.

In this review, we explore what makes this miniseries a compelling watch, particularly for fans of grim fare. The series excels as a frighteningly thoughtful character study, especially in its early episodes focusing on the deeply disturbing dynamic between married couple Stefano and Barbara, and their creepy roommate, Salvatore (Valentino Mannias). This intense three-hander feels reminiscent of classics like Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.

We praise the strong performances, particularly Mannias's remarkably unsettling portrayal, and the terrific technical work—the cinematography, production design, and costumes create an immersive period piece. However, we also discuss how the non-linear narrative and the ambiguity required by the unsolved nature of the crimes might leave some viewers underwhelmed by the anticlimactic conclusion.
