Viewers criticized Netflix for making a mistake in the first episode of the new series “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story”, which now focuses on the Menendez brothers, known for murdering their parents in 1989.
The series, which is a continuation of the hit that portrayed the story of Jeffrey Dahmer, is already facing controversy over how it represents the events of the Menendez case.
The most specific criticism targets a scene in the first episode where the brothers are shown killing their parents. According to some viewers, the way the murder is depicted is incorrect, as in real life, the victims were facing away from the killers and did not see who shot them.

This detail has been repeatedly misrepresented in previous adaptations of the case, leading to frustration among viewers who seek greater historical accuracy.
While some viewers complain about the inaccuracies, others argue that as a television production, the series can dramatize certain events to enhance the narrative. The discussion about how closely a series based on real crimes should adhere to the facts has already been raised in the previous season.
It appears the debate will continue, as Netflix prepares to launch the third season of the series, which will focus on the infamous killer Ed Gein.
