THE second season of the series “Monsters” which tells the story of the Menendez brothers, was the most watched production on Netflix in the week of September 16-22 .
The drama that premiered on the 19th added 12.3 million views and was in the Top 10 in 89 countries according to streaming information.
The plot was inspired by the case of the Menendez brothers, young men from the American elite who murdered their own parents with twelve shots in 1989. The first season of the production told the story of the murderer Jeffrey Dahmer and reached platform records in number of hours watched.
On August 20, Lyle and Erik Menendez killed Jose and Kitty at the family’s Beverly Hills home in the United States. At the time, they were 21 and 18 years old, respectively, and together they shot the couple more than 12 times with shotguns.
Less than a year after the murders, in March 1990, Lyle was arrested, followed by Erik three days later. Neither attempted to deny the crimes during their separate trials in 1995.
