As a devoted fan of Ryan Murphy‘s captivating storytelling, I find myself utterly enthralled by his latest masterpiece, “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.” This series has undeniably breathed new life into one of the most notorious cases of our time, resurfacing after decades of obscurity.
Ryan Murphy thinks that Lyle and Erik Menéndez, who are currently imprisoned, ought to express gratitude towards him due to the significant attention their cases received from the Netflix series “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.” He asserts that they should be appreciative of his show, regardless of any dissatisfaction they may have about how their lives were depicted. This series has rekindled global interest in their story, something that hadn’t happened for several decades prior.
In an interview, Murphy mentioned that The Hollywood Reporter should be sending flowers to the Menéndez brothers since they haven’t received so much attention in thirty years. However, he emphasized that he and Ian Brennan, the co-creator of the series, have successfully met their creative objectives with this show.
In the wake of the series, there’s been a significant increase in people voicing their backing for the Menendez brothers. Interestingly, the brothers and their legal team had expressed dissatisfaction from the start about how their lives were portrayed in the show.
The series titled “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” premiered in September, delving into the legal proceedings surrounding the Menendez brothers, Lyle and Erik, who were found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole in 1996. Despite this, Murphy has emphasized that the show does not sensationalize the sensitive topics it addresses.
To put it simply, Murphy didn’t consider sticking closely to the original story about the Menendez brothers and accurately reflecting their characters in the narrative as crucial. He asserted that under no plausible circumstances would the Menendez brothers or their legal representatives approve of the portrayal in the series as a truthful and praiseworthy account of their lives. From the start, such an outcome held little interest for Murphy.
53-year-old Erik Menendez, as expressed through a tweet by his wife Tammi, showed frustration over the distorted portrayal of their story in a recent show. He suggested that the creators intentionally manipulated the facts about his and his brother’s lives. In response to this, Murphy countered by accusing them of still trying to play the victim card at this stage.
He told the aforementioned outlet, “We had an obligation to so many people, not just to Erik and Lyle. But that’s what I find so fascinating, that they’re playing the victim card right now—’poor, pitiful us’—which I find reprehensible and disgusting.”
In spite of facing criticism, actors Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch garnered appreciation from Ryan Murphy for their sensitive portrayals of Erik and Lyle in the series “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.” You can stream this show on Netflix currently.
