Monsterlandis a horror anthology series, and each episode is named after a U.S. city and state,followingdifferent characters trapped in the bleakness of their daily lives until the supernatural forces change everything. The interesting aspect of Monsterland is that the world isalmost exactly like reality, and the monsters are almost incidental. They're a break from a desolate reality, with motivations as understandable asour own; however, there are a feweldritch exceptions.

Some characters and elements from past episodes pop up for cameos innew episodes, gluing thiswild universe together by offering a harsh commentary on moral apathy, the consequences of dismantling welfare and healthcare systems, systemic racism, radicalization and environmental destruction. In this sense, Monsterland is not a classic horror series with a clear villain. Instead it's a proponent of the theory that the real monsters were humans all along.
