Oct 6, 2020Being a single mom with an ADHD child and a dead end waitress job is certainly frightening, but I find it a curious way to start a horror show. There’s a scene that literally says they have hot food but it isn’t good. Pretty solid description of this show too. There’s a lot of media out there, I gotta be grabbed with something a little better than that start

“Monsterland” is a mixed bag. The few episodes that are great leave you thinking and shuddering, but there are too many that are overwrought and on-the-nose in their message. That being said, it’s a fantastic actor’s showcase. Those seeking actual scares, though, should seek refuge elsewhere.

Maybe it’s the difficulty of maintaining quality control across so many scripts, casts, and crews that lead to this inevitability, but it feels like “Monsterland” really just needed a couple more rewrites to the lesser episodes. All of the performers and craftsmen were up to the challenge.

Ultimately, the opening foray into Monsterland isn’t quite exemplary, although it has its share of strong moments. Here’s hoping its thematic ambition, not its narrative sloppiness, is an indicator of episodes to come.
