Netflix‘s latest series of Monster, which follows the story of serial killer Ed Gein, is topping the charts – but everyone’s getting distracted by the same thing.
The latest iteration of hit Netflix series Monster has returned for its third season, this time focusing on notorious American killer Ed Gein.
Gein was also known as the Butcher of Plainfield and the Plainfield Ghoul, as a result of his brutal crimes.
While he had only two confirmed murder victims, he later admitted to taking dead bodies from cemeteries and making various items from their body parts.
Investigators discovered a grim collection of furniture and clothing in his home upon inspection, including bowls carved from skulls and lampshades fashioned from human skin.
Netflix’s eight-part series focuses on the killer’s early life, his fatal crimes, and his impact on culture.
However, there’s just one thing about the series that viewers are particularly distracted by.
And that is the character’s voice.
But did Gein really sound like that?
Charlie Hunnam takes on the cunning role, a British actor born in Newcastle.
And while he seemed to be basing the character’s voice on a Wisconsin accent, fans just can’t seem to distance it from a well-known cartoon bear.
That being Winnie The Pooh.
One distracted viewer took to X (formerly Twitter) and said: “Charlie Hunnam is out here looking like John Cena, and sounding like an Irish Winnie the Pooh mixed with Mickey Mouse.”
Another noted: “What’s the craic with Ed Geins voice in monster? He sounds like Winnie the Pooh.”
While a third wrote: “I’m genuinely struggling to watch #MonsterTheEdGeinStory due to his stupid, Winnie-the-Pooh impression.
“Can’t help but laugh every time he opens his mouth.”
“I’m still shocked that Charlie Hunnam’s voice for Ed Gein literally sounds like Winnie the Pooh,” another said.
As one user added: “Ed Gein sounding like Winnie The Pooh really is throwing me off.”
However, there is very little remaining evidence that tells us what Ed Gein’s voice really sounded like.
Director of documentary Psycho: The Lost Tapes of Ed Gein, James Buddy Day, describes the killer’s voice as ‘meek and mild.’
Despite being released on October 3, Monster: The Ed Gein Story’s Rotten Tomatoes score appears to be non-existent.
But reviews have so far been generally mixed.
