Netflix launches on Thursday, September 17, the series "Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story," continuing its fiction anthology about famous real-life killers, which has already covered Jeffrey Dahmer, Lyle and Erik Menendez, and Ed Gein. The production is by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan.
The series stars Ella Beatty, known for the film "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You," in the role of Lizzie Borden. In 1892, Lizzie was accused of murdering her parents with an axe, with the main alleged motive being a relationship she was having with one of the family's servants.
Despite the accusations, Lizzie was acquitted by the jury and, to this day, the real authorship of the crimes remains shrouded in doubt. Ella Beatty revealed that when the audition for the role came up, she listened to every true crime podcast she could find to study the facts of the case.
The series "Slow Horses" is also mentioned among the week's premieres. A survey cited in the article indicates that Alagoas, Maranhão, and Pará are the Brazilian states that watch the most K-dramas in the country.
