If anything, VanderMolen’s book on behalf of the Menendez family shows a tragic turn that marks it as a potential Netflix title if not approached with care and fun. Take the last installment of Monster, for example. The series focused on the notorious killer Jeffrey Dahmer, not only showing his brutal crimes but also the impact he had on his community and the victims whose loved ones were unjustly and brutally taken from the world.
We know how driven Jeffrey Dahmer was to commit these heinous acts as, although he was a lonely man looking for a relationship, he was clearly a psychopath. In short, it’s a good case open and shut. On the other hand, Lyle and Erik Menendez’s story isn’t cut and dry, which is what the Netflix series has made it.
