I don't agree that it didn't have much substance; I found the story very interesting even if I was a bit disappointed by the sudden ending. I haven't watched it in many years, though, so I might be more critical if I end up watching/reading it again
I loved Monster, but I do agree that what happened in the village at the end was....less crazy than what I would've assumed the villain could get away with; Also this might be cringe to say, but everything people say the joker from Batman is supposed to be, I got the impression is what Johan was.
I still remember how disturbing it was to see a kid who nearly killed himself because Johan made him feel so unloved and unwanted. This show was genuinely awesome; also props to a show that could show people from around the world without the kind of sentiment of hatred and fear of strangers that a movie like Taken would instill, but instead a more positive approach.
