Set in European places with a focus on the underground world where crime, cops, poverty, corruption, blood and battles are prolific and part of daily life. The tough lives of the inhabitants of the "underworld", where organized crime reigns supreme, is portrayed without holding back. Both series hold dark and mysterious pasts that are pivotal to the development of the plot. They are both series that are for a mature audience with very dark, heavy and serious topics.
The overall mood is quite similar (this feeling of uncertainty coming of alleyways, shady business going on and usage of rather subdued colors in the animation) for a big part of the series. Monster is less action-packed and graphic though and focuses more on the psychological aspects of the behavior of the characters.
