Paulo Z Cooper Koch as Erik, Nicholas Chavez as Lyle and Javier Bardem as Jose really, Performance that are unforgettable. The series became my favorite of the anthology genre and also the season I enjoyed the most from the series "MONSTERS". Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Daniel B El cómo “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menéndez Story” aprovecha el formato que brinda las series la complejiza a tal nivel que no sabes cómo sentirte una vez terminada. En mi caso narrativamente me pareció fantástico cómo deformaban la trama para segmentar escenas que rayan en lo ridículo para desestimar constantemente la versión ya sea de los abogados defensores cómo del ministro, haciendo que a lo largo de la misma, te preguntes que de lo que estas viendo enserio es real, estamos viendo una historia que ha sido tocada por tantas manos de la cual ya solo quedan dos versiones exageradas diametralmente opuestas de un mismo suceso, y que la narrativa constantemente te esté imponiendo y seduciendo sobre que tienes que pensar mientras se contradice es enserio una experiencia única. Pocas veces he visto un producto que busque ser tan inmersiva con el espectador. Esta serie está hecha completamente para el diálogo, y me parece fantástico. Una serie que no desestima a su audiencia, y que, a base de plantearnos ambas versiones, busca que el espectador libremente construya su propio rompecabezas. Una de las propuestas más propositivas que ha hecho no solo Netflix, si no en el medio televisivo. Una cinematografía elegante, de las mejores actuaciones que he visto en un medio televisivo, en una historia tan, pero tan pulida, que cada escena busca una y otra vez hacer que dudes con tu visión de los sucesos. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Seth F Despite this sensationalized portrayal in Ryan Murphy's series "Monsters" (which, in typical Murphy fashion, recklessly revises and oftentimes invents "history" for dramatic effect), their convictions and life sentences without parole thankfully remain intact. The "narrative choices" made in the series should not be seen as grounds for overturning their legal consequences. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/29/25 Full Review Lucas G Nuanced and compelling, it is not as dark as the first season but of course the story is entirely different. As always with Murphy it is a visual feast. I was very impressed with the performances. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review gilson ツ This series faithfully and quite interestingly portrays the real case of the Menendez brothers. the series serves as a divider, leaving part of the viewers on the side of the brothers and the other part on the side of the parents. I highly recommend it for criminal case lovers. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/28/24 Full Review Tayba S Terrible, terrible, terrible, it’s like Ryan Murphy read a Wikipedia page on the Menendez brothers and made a movie on it, disgusting is what the show is. The way the brothers are perceived is horrible and is romanticised in all the wrong ways, I don’t know why Ryan Murphy felt the need to make bits of comedy, this is the worst show for the only reason that THIS HAPPEND IN REAL LIFE, ITS REAL PEOPLE. Not a joke that you can ‘Hollywod-ise’ Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review Read all reviews
