1"Aftermath"Matt ShakmanChris BlackNovember 17, 2023 (2023-11-17)

Following Godzilla's battle with the MUTOs in San Francisco,[a] schoolteacher Cate Randa reunites with her estranged father, Hiroshi, who then leaves without elaboration. Hiroshi later disappears in Alaska and is presumed dead. A year later, Cate travels to Tokyo to settle Hiroshi's affairs. She discovers that he had a second wife, Emiko, and a son, Kentaro, in Japan. Kentaro leads Cate to Hiroshi's office, where she discovers a safe containing files belonging to their grandfather, Monarch researcher Bill Randa. Seeking answers about Monarch's presence in San Francisco and Hiroshi's connection to them, Cate and Kentaro recruit Kentaro's ex-girlfriend May Olowe-Hewitt to decode the files. Monarch employee Tim is notified of their activity.

In 1959, Bill Randa and scientist Keiko Miura, follow radiation in Kazakhstan with fellow Monarch official Col. Leland Shaw. However, the radiation is a cover story for a hole drilled through the earth; radiation levels drop to zero around a power plant, and hollow caverns exist in the bedrock beneath. Venturing inside, they discover eggs belonging to insectoid Endoswarmers. Keiko and Shaw rappel down to collect genetic material from the eggs. However Endoswarmer larvae awaken from the eggs and drag Keiko into a deep pit.
2"Departure"Matt ShakmanChris BlackNovember 17, 2023 (2023-11-17)

In 2015, Kentaro discovers Monarch files in Hiroshi's office indicating that Shaw, his honorary great-uncle, moved to an assisted living facility in Japan. Tim and Monarch field operative Michelle Duvall track down Cate, Kentaro, and May in an attempt to find the decoded files, but they escape. Cate, Kentaro, and May go on the run and find Shaw, who reveals that the facility is a pretense for Monarch to keep him under house arrest. Shaw convinces them to escape from the facility and follow Hiroshi to his last known location in Alaska.

In 1952, Shaw is assigned as Keiko's escort on an expedition following unusual radiation in the Philippines. They meet Bill in the jungle, who claims to be following folk tales of a fire-breathing dragon. Keiko recruits Bill against a skeptical Shaw's advice, and Shaw departs. Continuing alone, Keiko and Bill discover the wreckage of the USS Lawton, a Navy ship that sank in 1943 from which Bill was the sole survivor.[b] They discover corpses in the ship and are attacked by an Ion Dragon. Having seen the Ion Dragon's radiation-based fire, Shaw returns to the ship, rescuing Keiko and Bill and outrunning the Ion Dragon.
3"Secrets and Lies"Julian HolmesAndrew ColvilleNovember 22, 2023 (2023-11-22)

In 2015, Cate, Kentaro, May, and Shaw escape Japan on a ferry bound for Pohang, Korea. In Pohang, they are accosted by border guards before one of them, Du-Ho, reveals himself as Shaw's old friend. Du-Ho transports them to Alaska by plane; on the way, May infers from Bill's files that Hiroshi was likely following a list of coordinates identified by Monarch. In Alaska, they find the wreckage of Hiroshi's plane as well as an encampment suggesting his survival. Du-Ho realizes that Hiroshi's plane was attacked after landing; a Frost Vark kills him and destroys his plane.

In 1954, Shaw has joined Monarch in a command position. He, Bill, and Keiko present a cast of Godzilla's footprint to Shaw's superior officer, Gen. Puckett, to secure uranium for luring Godzilla out of hiding. In Bikini Atoll, Bill and Keiko are horrified to discover that Puckett has delivered the uranium in a nuclear bomb to kill Godzilla under the guise of the Castle Bravo test.[a] As Godzilla surfaces, Keiko attempts to halt the detonation, but Shaw restrains her and the bomb is detonated. In the aftermath, Shaw is given a blank check by Puckett for Monarch to research the Titans.
4"Parallels and Interiors"Julian HolmesMilla Bell-HartDecember 1, 2023 (2023-12-01)

In 2015, the Frost Vark's emergence is detected by Monarch. Cate, Kentaro, May, and Shaw manage to escape from the Frost Vark, but May falls into a pool of water and quickly develops hypothermia as they try to find shelter. Kentaro splits off from the rest of the group and finds a building that he saw from the plane, which turns out to be an old radio station that had previously been repaired by Hiroshi. Having learned that the Frost Vark feeds on heat energy, Cate, May and Shaw create a bonfire to distract it, long enough for a helicopter that Kentaro contacted to arrive and rescue them. The group are taken to a Monarch outpost, where they are greeted by Tim and Duvall.

In 2013, Kentaro meets May while waiting for his first art show at a prestigious gallery. He chooses to spend the evening with her instead of preparing for the show, and they bond. Kentaro ultimately decides to present his art before he is ready to do so, out of a desire to make his father proud. The night of the gallery is the last time he sees Hiroshi before the latter's disappearance.
5"The Way Out"Mairzee AlmasAmanda OvertonDecember 8, 2023 (2023-12-08)

In 2015, Monarch deputy director Natalia Verdugo is frustrated to learn that Shaw has kept Cate, Kentaro, and May in the dark about Hiroshi's activities in Alaska. Duvall suggests releasing the three to track their movements. After returning to San Francisco, Cate convinces her mother, Caroline, and Caroline's colleague James to smuggle them towards Hiroshi's office in a restricted zone of the city's ruins. Evading military patrols and dealing with Cate's PTSD, they eventually reach Hiroshi's office. While they fail to find further hidden files, Kentaro concludes from Hiroshi's maps that he likely headed to Africa in search of Titans. May secretly contacts Duvall, asking to go home in exchange for her cooperation.

In 2014, two days before Godzilla's emergence, Cate is in a relationship with fellow teacher Dani, who discusses moving in together. Unbeknownst to Dani, Cate cheated on her with another woman. On G-Day, a guilty Cate chooses to leave Dani behind to chaperone a bus of children across the Golden Gate Bridge. Many of the children are killed when Godzilla crashes through the bridge during his clash with the military.

Tim and other Monarch agents find the team in Algeria; Godzilla emerges and causes their helicopter to crash. Shaw and Duvall reveal their intent to follow and help Godzilla, but Cate, Kentaro, and May leave to find Hiroshi. Cate and Kentaro are angered when May reveals that she allowed Monarch to track them.

In 1955, Shaw and Keiko attend a defense industry ball, where they bond. Bill recalls them to Monarch headquarters. They learn that Suzuki, a Japanese scientist, has captured isotopic signatures with his Titan lure. As Bill and Keiko travel to meet Suzuki, Shaw reluctantly stays behind to present a budget proposal, but he eventually abandons the meeting and joins them in Japan due to his feelings for Keiko. Godzilla destroys the lure. Returning to the United States to inform Puckett of Godzilla's survival, they learn that he has transferred Monarch's command in Shaw's absence.

Cate accosts Tim when he arrives at the airport and asks him to help locate May. Tim, Cate, and Kentaro find May's family in Tacoma, Washington and learn about her past from her sister, Lyra. They trigger a false Titan alert to rescue May from AET, but she chooses not to spy on Monarch and stay behind. Verdugo is convinced by Cate to secure May's release in exchange for help understanding Shaw's plans, and by Tim to take Monarch public to explain the alert. After reaching an agreement with Monarch, AET rebrands to Apex Cybernetics.[c] Shaw and Duvall take over the Alaskan Monarch outpost and detonate a rift to the Hollow Earth to seal it.

In 2012, May – then known as Corah Mateo – is recruited by AET. Dissatisfied with the secrecy around her work, she hacks into AET's systems and discovers that they are a front for Monarch's cybernetic animal experimentation. She destroys AET's research and flees to Japan under a false identity.
8"Birthright"Hiromi KamataAl LetsonDecember 29, 2023 (2023-12-29)

In 2015, Shaw and Duvall return to the Kazakh power plant where Keiko was killed in 1959, now enclosed in a containment facility. Cate, Kentaro, May, and Tim infer that Shaw is trying to rectify the past. Verdugo sends them after Shaw with a small team. Inside, Shaw and Duvall confront the team. Speaking with Cate alone, Shaw explains that he intends to help Godzilla maintain order by separating the Hollow Earth from the surface world. As Shaw primes explosive charges around a rift to the Hollow Earth inside the pit, an adult Endoswarmer emerges. May, Cate, Shaw, and the Endoswarmer fall back into the rift before its destruction.

In 1955, Monarch's new head Lt. Cmdr. Hatch questions Shaw, Keiko, and Bill's evidence of the Titans' existence. Bill assaults Hatch while defending Keiko from a racist remark. With Monarch's existence under jeopardy, Shaw convinces Keiko and Bill to compile their research. Bill realizes that Titans evade detection through the Hollow Earth. While sharing his findings with Keiko, he learns that she is a widow raising Hiroshi alone. Bill offers to adopt Hiroshi. As a last resort, Shaw reveals Godzilla's survival while presenting Keiko and Bill's findings to Puckett.

In 2015, Monarch rescues Kentaro and Tim. Verdugo informs a despondent Kentaro of Cate, May, and Shaw's losses. His mother, Emiko, inspires him to continue searching. When Hiroshi returns to his office, Kentaro confronts him. Meanwhile, Shaw and May awaken in an intermediate realm between the surface and the Hollow Earth, Axis Mundi, and search for Cate. Elsewhere, Cate is attacked by a Bramble Boar but is rescued by an unaged Keiko.

In 1962, Shaw volunteers to lead Operation Hourglass, an expedition into the Hollow Earth. Suzuki's Titan lure is used to induce a partial Titan emergence and stabilize a rift. During the launch, the rift destabilizes and closes. Monarch's funding is cut due to the outcome of Operation Hourglass. Meanwhile, an Ion Dragon kills Shaw's stranded team while he is sucked back through the rift.

In 1982, Shaw awakens in a Monarch medical facility. Holding a nurse—Emiko—hostage and demanding to see Bill, Shaw is met by an adult Hiroshi. Hiroshi reveals that Bill died. Monarch intends to abandon their mission and leave the Titans undisturbed. Shaw is placed under house arrest after multiple escape attempts. Thirty-two years later, he sees the news of Godzilla fighting a MUTO in Hawaii.[a]
10"Beyond Logic"Andy GoddardChris BlackJanuary 12, 2024 (2024-01-12)

In 2015, Keiko explains to Cate that she rigged the Titan lure from Operation Hourglass to send a distress signal from the Hollow Earth. They reunite with May and Shaw; Keiko is devastated to learn that decades have passed, and that Bill never returned from his expedition to Skull Island.[b] Tim leaves Monarch after clashing with Verdugo over her refusal to investigate Keiko's signal, and instead notifies Kentaro and Hiroshi. As Shaw and Keiko reconnect the lure to the Operation Hourglass launch vehicle, she reveals her intention to remain behind, but Cate persuades her otherwise. Shaw activates the vehicle, but inadvertently lures an Ion Dragon already present in Axis Mundi. Shaw exits the vehicle to reconnect a cable dislodged by the Dragon. Godzilla emerges through a rift and battles the Dragon, eventually throwing it back through the rift and activating the vehicle. As Keiko struggles to bring Shaw back into the vehicle, he sacrifices himself to allow their escape.

In 2017, at an Apex Cybernetics research station on Skull Island, Hiroshi successfully returns the vehicle to the surface; he, Kentaro, and Tim—now working with Apex—reunite with Keiko, Cate, and May. They evacuate as Kong approaches.

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the series has an approval rating of 86% based on 86 reviews, with an average rating of 6.7/10. The site's consensus reads, "With performances by father–son duo Kurt and Wyatt Russell that work a charm, Monarch adds a welcome wrinkle to the Godzilla legacy by honing its monstrous scope to a very human level."[24] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 68 out of 100, based on 26 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[25]

Mike Hale of The New York Times commended the straightforward narrative and visual effects, and noted that Kurt Russell's presence gave it a "nostalgic charm".[26] In Variety, Aramide Tinubu wrote that the series "will likely satisfy the most novice MonsterVerse explorer".[27]

Writing for RogerEbert.com, Brian Tallerico praised the performances of Kurt and Wyatt Russell, but he expressed dissatisfaction with the writing, describing the characters as "underdeveloped", the plot as lacking depth, and the dialogue as too lengthy.[28]
