This season delves into the life of Lizzie Borden, who stood accused in the brutal 1892 hatchet murders of her father and stepmother.
“Caught in a home of degradation and cruelty, the repressed daughter of a prosperous New England family and her defiant maid spiral into a fantasy world of sex, power, and vengeance,” says the official Netflix description. “The horrific, unresolved murders that ensue not only stun the globe—they create a legend unwilling to be caged, one who elects to craft her own shocking and formidable legacy.”
Previous seasons of “Monster” have explored the lives of notorious figures like Jeffrey Dahmer, Erik and Lyle Menendez, and Ed Gein, with Charlie Hunnam, who portrayed Gein in Season 3, returning in a new role for Season 4.
