Review of Monster

Monster (2004–2005)
10/10
Masterpiece of storytelling albeit it's minor plotholes.
10 December 2018
Not going to go into detail like the other reviews since not many that hasn't watched the show reads them. Looking at the reviews in general, you'ld see that it's divided into 2 extremes. People that absolutely love it and people that don't appreciate good storytelling.

The show is extremely slow but none of the episodes (well, maybe 3 were filler-like) were a waste of time. Anyone that thought 74 episodes had no plot progression doesn't understand the point of the journey.

It's not a show for everyone, if you only seek andrenaline from action packed things or constant 'mind-games' like in death note, this probably isn't for you. If you only like things that give you 'the feels' or lovey-dovey romanctic films expecting a perfect ending, this isn't for you. The operative words being 'only' and 'probably', not saying that everyone that watches those fall into the same catergory. (probably going to get backlash because many people only read what they like)

There are minor plotholes or rather, things which are pretty unbelievable unless you have a pretty high suspension of disbelieve but if you look part those, it's a darn perfect thriller. That's about it.
