‘The Beast In Me’, ‘Death By Lightning’, ‘Monster: The Ed Gein Story’ & ‘Black Rabbit’ Creators Go Deep – Netflix & Deadline Present: The Visionaries

Some television creators aim to provide audiences with an escape from the stresses of living in a tumultuous world. Others want to tap into those anxieties.

The latter certainly applies to the creators behind Netflix‘s The Beast in Me, Death by Lightning, Monster: The Ed Gein Story, and Black Rabbit. The shows tackle stories about murder, deceit, grief, familial estrangement, presidential assassinations, and complex mental health diagnoses — and all have found captive audiences on the streamer over the last year. During a conversation at Netflix & Deadline Present: The Visionaries, the mind behind these series opened up about grappling with some of the complicated, unpleasant questions and themes permeating society.
