There have been television movies, documentaries, and a series about the Menendez Brothers killing their parents in 1989. So I ask you, do we need another one?
Netflix and Ryan Murphy think we do, so they are giving us Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story on September 19th. What more can they tell us? What more do we need to hear?
Andrew Cunanan, Jeffrey Dahmer, and Monica Lewinsky made sense because their stories had not been told. However, the Menendez’s tale has been told over and over again.
So, will I watch it? It has two things going against it. One – I just don’t care about them. Two – When was the last time Murphy did something that was watchable from the first episode to the finale?
