Netflix has launched a trailer for his or her documentary function The Menendez Brothers. This isn’t to be confused with the Ryan Murphy-created season of his anthology sequence Monster, which debuted final week on the identical streamer, with actors telling the story.
It is a documentary which options the legal professionals concerned within the case on either side, members of the family, journalists, in addition to Lyle and Erik themselves.

This really appears actually fascinating. I can recognize the nuance of true crime now, however rising up in southern California on the time of those murders and the trial, I used to be simply mad that the continuous protection my mother and father had been consuming was interrupting my after-school TV time, which most likely consisted of Saved By the Bell and Blossom re-runs.
