Ryan Murphy's Monsters elicited a divided response about how Erik Menéndez and Lyle Menéndez's murder trial was portrayed in the Netflix series — but it isn't the only show that covers the controversial case.

The co-creator and co-showrunner spoke to the Times about the outcry over the show, its depiction of the Menendez brothers and how it portrays sexual abuse. We also explain what's rooted in fact.
