A new Netflix drama about two brothers who killed their parents has been criticised by one of the real-life men it is based on.
Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story was released last week and shot to the top of Netflix’s streaming chart.
The show stars Cooper Koch and Nicholas Alexander Chavez as the two brothers, and Javier Bardem and Chloe Sevigny as their parents.
The series is a follow-up to the controversial first Monsters series about US serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, which was criticised in some quarters for being insensitive.
The show was created by Ryan Murphy, the director, writer and producer behind series including Glee, Pose, The Watcher, Feud, American Horror Story, Hollywood and Ratched, and Ian Brennan, who co-created Glee.
