MONSTERS: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story | Netflix

September 19th

Following the success of DAHMER, MONSTERS: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story is the newest addition to Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s “Monster” anthology series, chronicling the case of the real-life brothers convicted in 1996 for the murders of their parents, José and Kitty Menendez. While the prosecution argued they were seeking to inherit their family fortune, the brothers claimed - and remain adamant to this day, as they serve life sentences without the possibility of parole - that their actions stemmed out of fear from a lifetime of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. The show also stars Cooper Koch (Erik Menendez), Nicholas Alexander Chavez (Lyle Menendez), Nathan Lane (Dominick Dunne), Ari Graynor (Leslie Abramson).

Started watching this last night, 2 episodes in and it's been ok, got the usual Ryan Murphy overly sexualised feel to it as his previous works to the point it's almost comical.

Dahmer had a much stronger start and felt more grounder than this does so far.
