    On the whole, Menendez has little consistent thought about Lyle and Erik. It is attracted to them, annoyed by them. It pants and sneers and shakes its head. Some tonal inconsistency is understandable; how else could a show capture both the ludicrousness of this story and its dire, mortal dimensions? But Brennan and Murphy push past that, into the realm of incoherence.

    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.
