Overview

• Hunnam told The Hollywood Reporter he hopes viewers question whether the killer, filmmakers, or audiences are the true “monster.”
• He said he never felt the production was sensationalized or gratuitous, describing it instead as an honest attempt to tell the story.
• Co-created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, the anthology’s third season is now streaming after its Oct. 3 release and situates Gein’s story in 1950s rural Wisconsin and horror cinema’s lineage.
• Critical reception has been poor on Rotten Tomatoes (20% critics, 54% audience), yet the series topped Netflix’s UK chart and drew 12.2 million first‑three‑day views, according to Manchester Evening News.
• Brennan and co-star Suzanna Son defended the intent as non-exploitative and highlighted the period’s failures in mental-health care.
