Ryan Murphy Thinks ‘Monsters’ Caused ‘Move Towards Justice’ in Menendez Case

Ryan Murphy thinks his Netflix show 'Monsters' played a role in a 'move towards justice' in the Menendez Brothers case.

Ryan Murphy believes Netflix ‘s Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story may have played a role in reaching a “move towards justice” in the brothers’ case. Upon its release, the Menendez family criticized Murphy and the show, saying that it was being “victimized” by the “ grotesque shockdrama,” calling it “a phobic, gross, anachronistic, serial episodic nightmare that is not only riddled with mistruths and outright falsehoods.” Murphy has defended the series, saying it presented “ many, many perspectives ” and theories “based on people who were either involved or cover the case.” (To THR, he said: “I find it ironic that their family condemned it so vociferously and with so much anger.”)
