    Ultimately, “The Monster of Florence” is so unfocused that it comes off hollow.

    The Monster of Florence is too enamored with its structural trickery to paint a coherent picture of the social mores that led to such violence and then sabotaged any attempts to investigate it. Thus, the series struggles to justify its narrow focus on the 1968 murders.

    The Monster Of Florence is a depressing slog of a show that feels exploitative at times and disjointed at others.
