How Ryan Murphy’s ‘Monsters’ Brought Lyle and Erik Menéndez’s Story Back To the Limelight
Even though several documentaries have been done around the Menéndez brother’ crimes, interest on the peculiar case and its trials are yet to entirely wane.
As a result of this, Ryan Murphy has recreated the brothers’ stories in season 2 of his Netflix series, ‘Monsters.’ It is currently topping Netflix’s viewing charts, even though it was received in poor taste by the brothers, who accused the show of blatant “character assassinations.”
To fix this, Netflix has also offered the brothers a chance to come forward with several parts of their story that’s still untold in an upcoming documentary, titled, ‘The Menéndez Brothers.’ The documentary will feature interviews from the brothers.
Kim Kardashian – Reportedly Visited Lyle And Erik In Prison
