Viewers of the new Netflix production are praising Cooper Koch for his performance in one of the most impactful scenes from the series “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.”

The series “Monsters,” which in its first season told the story of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, has just launched its second season and now focuses on the shocking case of the Menendez brothers.

Lyle and Erik Menendez became known in 1989 for murdering their parents in a brutal crime that shocked the United States.

In Netflix’s new production, Lyle and Erik are portrayed by Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch, respectively, and a particular scene is receiving significant praise from viewers.

In an apparently continuous shot from the fifth episode of the show, Koch and actress Leslie Abramson, who plays Erik’s defense attorney, engage in a 30-minute dialogue that left the audience mesmerized.
