Monster
Dr Kenzo Tenma is a genius
surgeon working in post-Cold War Germany who has a bright future ahead of him.
He is admired by his colleagues, loved by his patients, and due to marry his
boss' daughter, the beautiful Eva Heinemann. One day, when two patients in
desperate need of emergency surgery are wheeled into his hospital, Tenma faces
a terrible choice of saving the orphaned boy who came first or the mayor of
Düsseldorf, whose recovery would raise the hospital's profile and boost his own
career. Against the demands of his superior, Tenma does what he believes is
right and saves the child. However, his decision not only damages his
prospects, but unleashes a chain of events so horrific that it might have come
from the depths of his worst nightmares. Laden with guilt, Tenma begins a
journey across Germany in search of a formidable young man who will challenge
his morals, his love for life, and his very sanity.
Monster is a psychological thriller. There are no tentacles, no vampires, no demons, no super powers, and no women with over sized busts (ok, I might have enjoyed the last one). It's a dark and riveting series that will have you on the edge of your seat by the end of mostly every episode. If you haven't seen it and feel like indulging your dark side for a weekend, this is the show for you. So pop some popcorn, grab a mountain dew, and turn off the lights. . . I don't think you will be disappointed. But if you are, you can always come back and comment on how bad my taste is.
