Overview
- The Longlegs director told TMZ he has not watched the season and “wouldn’t watch it with a 10-foot pole.”
- He accused streamers of profiting from real suffering, warning of a “Netflix-ization of real pain” and culture “reshaped in real time by Overlords.”
- The season features a dramatized Anthony Perkins subplot, including a scene where a fictionalized Hitchcock likens the closeted actor’s “secret” to Ed Gein’s.
- Gein biographer Harold Schechter says a “very large percentage” of the show is fabricated and that it veers from the historical record.
- The series remains a major Netflix draw, and Ryan Murphy is proceeding with the Monster franchise, including a planned Lizzie Borden season.
