Monster: The Ed Gein Story

Netflix

Ryan Murphy’s Monster series, chronicling the tales of famous killers, has never been a critic-pleaser, but Monster: The Ed Gein Story? The show has just hit a new low-water mark on Netflix.

Now that more reviews have come in, the Rotten Tomatoes score of Ed Gein has sunk more than 20%, and now stands at just a 23% critic score. That’s below the previous two Monster entries, and also Netflix’s True Crime serial killer series, Conversations with a Killer. Here’s how the list breaks down:

  • Conversations with a Killer: The Son of Sam Tapes – 100% critic score, N/A audience score
  • Conversations with a Killer: The John Wayne Gacy Tapes – 86% critic score, 83% audience score
  • Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes – 58% critic score, 76% audience score
  • Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story – 57% critic score, 82% audience score
  • Monster: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story – 45% critic score, 58% audience score
  • Monster: The Ed Gein Story – 23% critic score, 54% audience score

There’s also a Conversations with a Killer for Jeffrey Dahmer, but that wasn’t reviewed enough to have a critic score. It did have an 80% audience score. I thought about putting Mindhunter on here, another serial killer-focused series, but that almost felt like cheating, given how great we all know it is.

As you can see, The Ed Gein Story is well below any of the others, and in addition to the lowest critic score, also has the lowest audience score. That would imply that it’s not likely that it ends up having enormous viewership like Dahmer did, which is one of Netflix’s most-viewed shows ever.

The Ed Gein Story is not good. I just spent the weekend watching it, and it’s a rather bizarre portrayal of the man, making one of the most brutal killers in history weirdly sympathetic due to his schizophrenia diagnosis. Though of course, millions of people with schizophrenia do not collect heads or genitals or make lamps and chairs out of skin. Plus, the entire thing fictionalizes so much that it rarely seems like anything approaching what the real story behind Gein might have been.

Just because the Monster series is generally pretty bad, that is not stopping Netflix and Ryan Murphy from making more. Before Ed Gein even aired, Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story was announced, switching to a female killer this time. She is the famed axe murderer who lived all the way back in the 19th century, famously accused of killing her father and stepmother with an axe, though she was acquitted. Not a serial killer like Dahmer or Gein, but this will be more like the Menendez season, which also featured parental murder. Ella Beatty, daughter of Annette Bening and Warren Beatty, will play Borden, and she’s only been acting since 2024.

Ed Gein is a big, big miss, but as of now, it’s still #1 on Netflix. We’ll see how long audiences tolerate it.

U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam

U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam

The post U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crime 18 September 2025 | 04:05 A Colorado judge has brought closure to one of the state’s most unusual cryptocurrency scandals, declaring INDXcoin to be a fraudulent operation and ordering its founders, Denver pastor Eli Regalado and his wife Kaitlyn, to repay $3.34 million. The ruling, issued by District Court Judge Heidi L. Kutcher, came nearly two years after the couple persuaded hundreds of people to invest in their token, promising safety and abundance through a Christian-branded platform called the Kingdom Wealth Exchange. The scheme ran between June 2022 and April 2023 and drew in more than 300 participants, many of them members of local church networks. Marketing materials portrayed INDXcoin as a low-risk gateway to prosperity, yet the project unraveled almost immediately. The exchange itself collapsed within 24 hours of launch, wiping out investors’ money. Despite this failure—and despite an auditor’s damning review that gave the system a “0 out of 10” for security—the Regalados kept presenting it as a solid opportunity. Colorado regulators argued that the couple’s faith-based appeal was central to the fraud. Securities Commissioner Tung Chan said the Regalados “dressed an old scam in new technology” and used their standing within the Christian community to convince people who had little knowledge of crypto. For him, the case illustrates how modern digital assets can be exploited to replicate classic Ponzi-style tactics under a different name. Court filings revealed where much of the money ended up: luxury goods, vacations, jewelry, a Range Rover, high-end clothing, and even dental procedures. In a video that drew worldwide attention earlier this year, Eli Regalado admitted the funds had been spent, explaining that a portion went to taxes while the remainder was used for a home renovation he claimed was divinely inspired. The judgment not only confirms that INDXcoin qualifies as a…

Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise

Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise

The post Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, filed to raise $4 billion through an at-the-market equity offering to expand its SOL holdings. The company’s stock (FORD) fell 8.2% following the announcement, while the proceeds could more than double the $3.1 billion currently held in Solana treasuries. DeFi Development Corp. also registered a preferred stock offering with the SEC, following similar funding tactics used by Bitcoin treasury companies like MicroStrategy. Forward Industries, the newest and largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed to raise $4 billion through an at-the-market equity offering. For the sake of comparison, this $4 billion raise is nearly the same size as Bitcoin treasury Strategy’s Stride preferred stock raise in July. And it’s double the size of the Strife preferred stock offering the company did in May. The proceeds would be used for working capital; pursuit of its Solana token strategy, and “the purchase of income-generating assets to grow its business,” the company said in a press release. Forward Industries declined to comment to Decrypt on what other income-generating assets it’s considering adding to its balance sheet.  As markets opened Wednesday morning, Forward saw its stock price take a dive. The shares, which trade under the FORD ticker on the Nasdaq, dipped to $31.29 before rebounding to $34.28 at the time of writing—marking a 8.2% fall for the session. If the company sells all the shares and spends the bulk of the proceeds on buying Solana, it could more than double the amount of SOL being held in treasuries. At the time of writing, there’s already $3.1 billion in Solana treasuries, according to crypto price aggregator CoinGecko. Users on Myriad, a prediction market owned by Decrypt parent company DASTAN, have been growing more confident that SOL will reach $250 sooner than…
