Set between the 1950s and modern day, the show flashes back and forth between the decades to flesh out the origins of monster hunting, with Kurt Russell and his real-life son, Wyatt, playing whistleblowing military man Lee Shaw at various stages of his life.
As the second television series in the fledgling 'MonsterVerse' after Skull Island, which also includes the films Godzilla and Kong: Skull Island, it’s essential viewing for fans of the franchise, with Monarch acting as the enigmatic thread that links each piece of the puzzle.
Reviews have praised the storytelling and human characters – portrayed by an outstanding cast that includes John Goodman, Jess Salgueiro, Christopher Heyerdahl and Mari Yamamoto – and mercifully, the visual effects and array of baddies look extremely promising too.
