The highly anticipated series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story has dropped on Netflix.
Based on the real-life murders of Jose and Kitty Menendez, the season focuses on their killers, their children Lyle and Erik. It's the second season of the anthology series, where the first season focuses on serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.
