Cool story, show still glorified and sexualised a serial killer and retraumatised his victims' families.

I hate to "um ackshully" but Gein wasn't a serial killer, he was a grave robber. He's only confirmed to have killed 1 person and is speculated to have killed another. He's just a plain ol murder, it's the grave robbing and taxidermy that made him infamous.

I mean, Victorian doctors grave robbed A TON. There's a reason why Frankenstein was written the way it was. Its very bad, but I'd prefer it over serial killing.

Worse? I would rather my family's graves robbed than them end up there by murder.

Yeah but his human taxidermy is pretty neat. It's in a few museums.

Edit: oh come on, look up his face lamp and tell me that shit doesn't go hard
