    Met my expectations

    This crime thriller is based on true events. After long time finally a solid psycho murder episode from Italy on Netflix. I find it is actually on short supply to see good series or movies from Italy on Netflix. The first episode was for me too slow paced and I thought already to stop. But the longer I watched it the more interesting the story got. There are many flashbacks to reconstruct the mystery puzzles and help so the audience to understand what was really going on. The atmosphere and filming locations have been wonderfully created from the 60ties to the 80ties. The actors played the characters respectably and I think the director did a great job too. If you liked the other two psycho killer series on Netflix Jeffrey Dahmer or Ed Gein this is for you. Final vote: 7/10.

    Great

    Very well acted. It is surprising. It makes you think. Who has done it? Great sites and surroundings. All those cars of the 70's and 80's. So nice. Yep, the movie is a bit dark. It is a dark story. Very Italian, what I like a lot. And now I still hsve to write 70 characters. I would like ifdutch actors could play like the profs in this movie!! They cant....

    Meh!

    Really slow and unfocused to the point where it was often difficult to follow.

    The myriad of characters and constant flashbacks/flashforwards were the main reason for the confusion while watching this. There was also nothing compelling about the Italian police procedural side of this crime case, which was mind boggling because the case was reportedly delayed and unsolved for many years longer than it should have because of purported misdeeds and mishandling of evidence and suspects by said police squad.

    I would have rather seen this story told from the point of view of the Douglas Preston non-fiction book. Far more compelling!

    Chasing shadows

    "Il Mostro" sets out with a chilling premise: a serial killer terrorizing the Florence area. It opens with one of his crimes, then links it to another murder from about 15 years earlier. From that point, the narrative shifts almost entirely to the old case and the people involved.

    But honestly, almost nothing new is revealed throughout the story. Instead, what stands out is how clumsy and ineffective the Italian justice system appears to be. The series leaves you frustrated more than intrigued.

    While based on real events, it never explores the aftermath in any meaningful way. The only memorable moment is a line about Salvatore's disappearance and how the killings stopped afterward - possibly just coincidence. Beyond that, we learn nothing about what happened to the other characters.

    And on a side note, it surprised me how many young people in 1980s Florence kept risking being alone in cars together despite the killer targeting exactly that situation. Maybe I'm just naive, but it felt unrealistic.

    In the end, "Il Mostro" is atmospheric and well-crafted visually, but it's a disappointing look at how justice faltered and a story that fails to deliver deeper insight.

    Not that bad !

    Not that great either!

    I agree a lot more could have been brought out to the viewer.

    Yet, it was interesting as I have not read the book or knew about such a case.

    I guess they tried. Just is not as exciting as I had expected. I think I'll buy the book. Maybe help fact from overthinking drama series.
