Insightful Creativity
Monsterland can be deemed thought-provoking, raising as many questions as answers.
For example, does humankind have such a fear of monsters they invite, accept, or ignore them?
And for those who let their monsters roam devouring innocents, how high is the cost?
Because monsters only unleash their deepest and darkest acts when people choose to see no evil or hear no evil, right?
No Series is Without Flaw
Some may think Monsterland is a bit flawed. But what is a series without its flaws? However, in this case, it may be a bit much. Because undoubtedly, this series is especially enervating for those who love conclusions. Most endings are not clear-cut. And, there is much left to interpretation.
Additionally, for those who only seek a surface appeal, this show might not be for them because some stories don’t make sense.
So as a word of caution, beware some of these stories may leave you saying, “what’s going on here?
Complexity wrapped in a plain box would be the best way to define the series.
While there is a cerebral feel, the anthology is still very simplistic.
One Final Look at Monsterland
This series is a creative work. And in perfect honesty, the series is like abstract art wherein each viewer must uncover the beauty within.
But I admit Monsterland is one of the few anthologies leaving me with the reminder monsters don’t just hide underneath the bed, in dimly lit closets, or dank cellars. And pleasantly enough, this delightful offering continues to stream on Hulu.
