Monster: The Ed Gein Story (Netflix, 8 episodes)
First Jeffrey Dahmer. Then The Menendez Brothers. And now, Ed Gein. Could Ryan Murphy’s Netflix universe get any sicker?
Murphy’s latest monster instalment certainly lives up to the franchise title. The Ed Gein instalment of Monster is set in the 1950s, and Ed Gein (played by Charlie Hunnam) is haunting the frozen fields of rural Wisconsin, killing and desecrating the bodies of multiple women. His crimes went on to inspire multiple classic horror films, including The Silence of the Lambs, Psycho, and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. If you watch it with someone else make sure they are broadminded. And be prepared to see a TV Gold favourite, Lesley Manville, as you’ve never seen her before!

The House of Guinness (Netflix, 8 episodes)

A historical drama created by Steven Knight, inspired by the true story of the powerful Guinness brewing family in 19th-century Dublin, following their four adult children after their patriarch, Sir Benjamin Guinness, dies in 1868. The series explores the family's struggles to maintain their brewing empire, their relationships with each other, and their involvement in the politics and social dynamics of the time. Brilliant cast led by James Norton, Louis Partridge and the wonderful Emily Fairn who we loved in The Responder alongside Martin Freeman.

Wayward (Netflix, 8 episodes)

A small-town cop Alex (Mae Martin) and two teenage girls, Abbie (Sydney Topliffe) and Leila (Alyvia Alyn Lind), uncover the dark secrets of a mysterious "troubled teen" academy in the picturesque town of Tall Pines. As Alex investigates the unsettling school, he works with the girls to expose its leader, Evelyn (Toni Collette).
