Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story – Ryan Murphy's True Crime Hit

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story is the second installment of Ryan Murphy's anthology true crime series, following the massive success of Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. The series explores the case of Lyle and Erik Menendez, the brothers convicted of murdering their wealthy parents in Beverly Hills in 1989. The show examines the complex motivations behind the crime, the abuse allegations that emerged during the trial, and the media circus that surrounded the case. Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch deliver powerful performances as the Menendez brothers, with Javier Bardem and Chloë Sevigny playing their parents, José and Kitty Menendez. The series has sparked renewed public interest in the case, leading to discussions about the justice system, media ethics, and the long-term effects of trauma. Murphy's signature style—a blend of horror, camp, and social commentary—is on full display. The series has been both praised for its performances and criticized for its dramatization of real events. Regardless, it has become one of Netflix's most-watched shows. Monsters is available on Netflix. To download episodes, use the Netflix app on your smartphone or tablet.
