Ryan Murphy's Netflix series Monster has received backlash in the past for inaccuracies about its subjects - but what did the show get wrong about Ed Gein's case? The first season of the scripted true crime show debuted in 2022 and focused on Evan Peters' portrayal of Jeffrey Dahmer. Monster, which also starred Niecy Nash, came under fire after the families of Dahmer's victims revealed they weren't consulted for the show. Season 2 faced similar backlash after Erik Menendez slammed Murphy's portrayal of him and brother Lyle Menendez.
