Netflix regularly updates its offerings, adding new shows and movies while removing others. This past week saw several exciting new releases, particularly on the TV side. Shows like The Asset, season 2 of Nobody Wants This, and a new episode of Monday Night Raw were added, but a new series based on the chilling true story of a serial killer really stood out. It’s already earning high praise, with a strong score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Netflix miniseries The Monster of Florence explores the infamous case of Il Mostro, a real-life serial killer who committed 16 murders in Florence, Italy. The case remains unsolved, and the series offers a look at the crimes and the investigation. This week, it became a popular hit, reaching the 3rd spot on Netflix’s Top TV Shows list with a score of 604 (according to FlixPatrol).
The series The Monster of Florence was a big hit on Netflix, ranking just behind The Asset (777 views) and the second season of Nobody Wants This (712 views). It significantly outperformed other shows, with Boots (471 views) coming in third, followed by The Diplomat (355), One-Punch Man (237), Monster: The Ed Gein Story (236), Mob War: Philadelphia vs. the Mafia (201), WWE Raw (161), and Old Money (119) completing the top ten.
Currently, the series The Monster of Florence has a 62% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics have praised its many twists and turns, the suspenseful atmosphere, and its unique way of telling the story, jumping around in time. While some viewers found the non-traditional structure confusing, it definitely made the series stand out.
Stefano Sollima directed the series, and previously told THR Roma that he based it closely on real accounts and official case files. His aim was to make the show as factually correct as possible.
As a viewer, I was really struck by the level of detail director Sollima brought to recreating the events. He and his team painstakingly rebuilt the crime scenes – everything from the exact angles of the gunshots to where the vehicles and the perpetrator were positioned. And what’s fascinating is that this meticulous reconstruction actually revealed some discrepancies with the officially reported accounts. It makes you question everything you think you know.
Sollima explained that their main goal was to present the facts accurately. They dedicated themselves to recreating a true picture of the past, striving to depict the country, its culture, and its flaws – including the hypocrisy that had complicated the investigation.
The Monster of Florence is now streaming on Netflix.
