    Twisted Story That Could Only Be True

    Even with diving into this series with prior knowledge of the subject, it was still quite dark and very well portrayed but the two leads. They did a great job with time-relevant pop culture, music and vehicles. The acting was great and I loved the different points of view. Sometimes the story jumps in time and in perspectives, which isn't my preference but the series does a good job of avoiding any confusion with that. They do show some instances of... weird relationship boundaries that I question if it is relevant or needed at all. Overall, not as great as the Dahmer "season" but still a great watch.

    S1- marvellous, S2- pretty great

    S1- 9/10; S2- 7/10

    Season 1 is absolutely fantastic and equally terrifying and that makes it, in my opinion, one of the best shows about a serial killer.

    However, Ryan Murphy approached the second season differently.

    Season 2, which tackles the Menendez brothers' trial, has a less dramatic and at times almost comical tone than Dahmer for obvious reasons but it's still pretty solid. There's less emotional scenes but since this time the narrative shifts and the audience is supposed to sympathise with the perpetrators, since they present themselves as the victims, it makes sense why it's not as disturbing or dramatic as the first season. Strong performances from the main cast, especially the brothers and Javier Bardem of course and overall an interesting case but a terrible tragedy.

    This was a great show!

    The series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story exceeded my expectations in every way. With a talented cast, including Javier Bardem, Chloë Sevigny, Cooper Koch, Nicholas Alexander Chavez, Ari Graynor, and Nathan Lane, this show delivered exceptional performances. The series seamlessly navigated a range of emotions, making me laugh, cry, and feel happy. I applaud the show's thoughtful portrayal of male victims of sexual abuse, a topic often overlooked. The cast's performances were outstanding, and their chemistry on-screen was undeniable. Overall, this show was a true masterpiece, and I feel fortunate to have experienced it.

    Lots of pretty boys for Ryan!

    It was okay. Javier and Chloe were my standouts. I'm still on the fence as to the innocence of the Brothers but I guess that's the point. Speaking of- they both did a fine job.

    The soundtrack was really rather chilling in points (hummm!!!) and Milli Vanilli are always welcome at mine.

    So while I enjoyed it for what it was, I really detest how these shows bring out a fresh slew of fan girls who fall in love with the actor portraying a role, and then decide that the actual killers were innocent little sugar-sprites. It's disgusting but nothing new I suppose.

    Next year we have the gorgeous Charlie from Sons of Anarchy as Ed Gein. Seriously, Ryan!? I know you like your boys pretty but Ed was anything but..... Place your bets now folks! Henry Cavill as Pee Wee Gaskins!?

    Excellent

    Ryan Murphy did an incredible job capturing other views that the public about this notorious case, the acting the script, and the cinematography was absolutely superb. I think one of the reasons people find this so controversial it because Ryan Murphy through his unique storytelling, compels the audience to try to provide answers for questions that still linger on about this notorious case. One of the scenes that really scared me was when the brothers were able to lie and cry at the same time when they were getting interrogated in an effort to deflect attention away from identifying themselves as the killers.

    • Trivia
      Although psychiatrists are not bound of law to tell the police if their patient confessed to committing a crime in their past, or even answer police asks them questions about a crime they are investigating, they are legally not allowed to divulge information without a subpoena. A subpoena, is a court order that commands an individual to either testify or to hand over documents. Dr. Oziel calls his mistress and tells her that Erik confessed to the murders of his parents and that Lyle, who he implied was also involved was on his way. This was not only illegal but a breech of ethics and trust between doctor and patient. Dr. Oziel tells Lyle that whatever Erik tells Lyle in his office, he (Dr. Oziel) cannot tell anyone; while this is true, he however, is not Lyle's doctor, so whatever Lyle says, is not under ethical and legal laws.
