What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Monster treats true crime as sombre psychological drama, giving family relationships and motives as much attention as the violence itself. The unsettling quality lies in that personal focus: terrible acts are explored through the people connected to them, with room for reflection on causes and consequences rather than a story concerned only with what happened.

Each season changes the case, cast, location and historical period, allowing the anthology to move between different communities and centuries. Within those changing settings, the aftermath of violence remains a recurring concern. Family ties give the stories an intimate texture, while the attention to those left behind keeps the drama from ending with the violent act.

The Chestnut Man is set in the quiet suburb of Copenhagen, where the police make a terrible discovery one blustery October morning. A young woman is found brutally murdered in a playground and one of her hands is missing. Above her hangs a small man made of chestnuts. The ambitious young detective Naia Thulin is assigned to the case, along with her new partner, Mark Hess. They soon discover a mysterious piece of evidence on the chestnut man evidence connecting it to a girl who went missing a year earlier and was presumed dead - the daughter of politician Rosa Hartung.

Why it fits

The Chestnut Man shares Monster’s taste for unsettling crime stories that keep human lives close to the violence. Its detectives follow a grisly trail through Copenhagen suburbs, with a chilling mystery and a tense partnership at the center; Monster shifts between cases and families, lingering more on motives and the damage left behind.

American Horror Story

FX • Sep 24, 2026

DramaMystery

Physical and psychological horrors affect a decomposing family, workers and residents of an insane asylum, a coven of witches, a cast of circus freaks, the employees and guests at a struggling hotel, a family who moved into a mysterious farmhouse, the members of a small suburb in Michigan, the surviving members of the Apocalypse and the counselors of a creepy summer camp in this haunting anthology series, focusing on the themes of infidelity, sanity, oppression, discrimination, addiction and exploitation.

View show

Why it fits

American Horror Story and Monster both use self-contained seasons to build dread around people caught in disturbing circumstances. Monster draws its unease from real cases, family ties, and violence’s aftermath, while American Horror Story turns to supernatural menace and haunted residents, making its scares stranger and more overtly fantastical.
