Fans of the Netflix series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story were left stunned after spotting a major mistake in the background of a scene. The show, which follows the chilling true story of the Menendez brothers who brutally murdered their parents, has been receiving rave reviews for its gripping storytelling and powerful performances.
The shocking drama, set in the late 80s, stars Javier Bardem and Chloë Sevigny as Jose and Kitty Menendez, while Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch portray the infamous brothers. The nine-episode anthology series, which also featured the controversial Jeffrey Dahmer story, is a fictionalized and scripted retelling of the horrific events.
In the second episode, viewers noticed a Ring Doorbell in the background of a scene set in the 80s, decades before the actual invention of the device. Many took to social media to express their confusion, with one fan joking that the brothers must have teleported to the future for that particular scene.
While some fans were quick to point out this blunder, others were more focused on another controversial scene in the series. In one particular moment, the brothers are shown in a shower together, kissing on the lips. This portrayal of the brothers as lovers has sparked backlash from both viewers and family members, with some calling it "vile" and "disturbing".
The real-life story of the Menendez brothers is a complex and tragic one. In 1989, Jose and Kitty Menendez were brutally murdered in their Beverly Hills home, their bodies nearly unrecognizable from the 15 rounds of gunfire. It was eventually revealed that Lyle and Erik, then aged 21 and 18, were responsible for the murders and were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in 1996.
During their trials, the brothers claimed that the murders were a result of years of sexual abuse at the hands of their father. However, prosecutors argued that their motive was to gain access to their family fortune, after they had spent extravagantly in the months following the killings. The brothers were eventually convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to murder.
The Netflix series has sparked debate and controversy, not just for its portrayal of the brothers, but also for the accuracy of certain details. Some viewers have pointed out that the show seems to have been rushed, leading to mistakes and inconsistencies.
While the series may have taken some creative liberties, the true story of the Menendez brothers remains a tragic and disturbing one. The Agency has reached out to Netflix for comment, but in the meantime, the series continues to captivate audiences with its gripping and haunting portrayal of one of the most infamous murder cases in American history.
