Menendez Family Doesn't Pull Punches With Netflix Monsters Takedown

If anything, VanderMolen’s letter on behalf of the Menendez family showcases the disastrous turn that shows like the Netflix title can take when not approached with care and delicacy. Take the last installment of Monster, for example. The series centered around notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, not only showcasing his atrocious crimes but also the effect he had on his community and the victims whose loved ones were so unfairly and brutally ripped from the world.

We know what Jeffrey Dahmer’s drive was in committing these heinous acts as, even though he was a lonely man looking for a partnership, he was obviously a murderous psychopath. In short, it’s a pretty open-and-shut case. On the other hand, the story of Lyle and Erik Menendez is not so cut and dry, which the Netflix series largely made it out to be.
