For all the poor ratings out there, you shouldn't be rating this series. This goes down to the roots of dark mental illness. You need to watch this in a "out of the box, way" because that's exactly how Ed Gein was. They directed this on the very mind set of who he was, as a mentally ill person. His illness was severe, to a point of such gruesome acts that many believe he was evil when in fact it was the complete opposite, in which the acts he was doing in his mind was simply a "hobby" and what he was doing was "ok" in his world. Shoutout to Ryan Murhpy and Ian Brennon on this very, deep and captivating series, nailed it !!
