    The cast is good but it’s the shock-a-minute story that makes this hard to shake off.

    The property that Monster of Florence most clearly evokes is David Fincher's time-spanning period masterpiece Zodiac, which was clearly an influence. Though this Netflix true crime miniseries doesn't reach those same heights (admittedly, not many crime films or series have), it's often remarkable, lingering long after the final episode is over.

    The narrative’s complexity can sometimes be confusing, particularly when it hops between time periods in quick succession. But “The Monster of Florence” rewards repeat viewings.
