Monsters refuses to take a definitive stance on the nature of their relationship and with regard to the brothers’ guilt, it ultimately draws the same conclusion that Dunne does: “Regardless of what happened to them, Lyle and Erik aren’t entitled to our forgiveness.” That may be true. But viewers of this series should be entitled to a more nuanced, less exploitative depiction of the relationship between these two notorious, complicated men.

A mess in general. .... Murphy’s exploration of this period was very much the inferior one when he produced 2016’s The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, and it’s even worse here. .... Characterization is a nightmare. Lyle (Nicholas Alexander Chavez), in particular, is a cartoonish devil.
