User Recommendations for Ergo Proxy

Mutual slow progression and quiet. Both are masterpieces in their own way.

Both shows are slow paced knotty psychological shows with heavy use of symbolism. Both require active viewing and possibly a rewatch to parse properly. As such both should appeal most to an adult audience that enjoys unravelling a story for themselves. Ergo proxy is more "on the nose" and confrontational but no less intricate than Monster, which is more methodical and lumbering, building tension slowly in a more reserved manner to an epic finale. If you had the patience to watch and parse one, chances are you'll like the other.
