Netflix's 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story' revisits the notorious 1989 murder of José and Kitty Menendez by their sons, Lyle and Erik Menendez. The brothers were convicted in 1996 and sentenced to life in prison for the murders, which they claimed were acts of self-defense following years of abuse. The case has remained divisive, with some supporting the brothers' claims and others viewing them as motivated by greed. The series, created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, features Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch as the Menendez brothers, alongside Javier Bardem and Chloë Sevigny as their parents. The show explores not just the crime but also the familial and psychological factors involved, aiming to provide a nuanced portrayal of the events. The second season follows the success of the first installment, which focused on Jeffrey Dahmer, and is now available for streaming on Netflix.
