The real-life trial footage of Lyle and Erik Menendez is more difficult to watch than the dramatized scenes in Netflix’s Monsters season 2. The true story of Lyle and Erik Menendez, two brothers who pleaded guilty to murdering their parents in 1989, is recapped in ten episodes in Monsters season 2, an anthology series by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan. The series reexamines the unsettling circumstances surrounding the murders of Jos and Kitty Menendez, who were accused of abusing Lyle and Erik throughout their childhoods.
