what is Monster: The Story of Lyle and Erik Menendez about?
Here is the official description:
Following the huge success of DAHMER, Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s true crime anthology series returns with Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, telling the story of the real-life brothers convicted of the 1996 murder of their parents, José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez. Prosecutors argued they had wanted to inherit the family fortune, but the brothers maintained – and continue to maintain to this day, serving life sentences without the possibility of parole – that their actions were motivated by fear of a lifetime of physical, emotional and sexual abuse at the hands of their parents. Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story delves into the historic case that took the world by storm, paved the way for audiences’ modern fascination with true crime, and in turn asks that audience the question: Who are the real monsters?
