That 30 minute continuous shot scene was one of the most heartbreaking scenes I have ever seen in any film or tv show. It legitimately makes my stomach turn

[Hmy]

1. I’m OBSESSED with Cooper Koch, and WHERE did this gem of a human come from?!
2. I’ve lost respect for Ryan Murphy. The fact that he didn’t consult a single family member, nor either brother before, during, or after the completion of making this series is somewhat dumbfounding. And dismissing the family’s statement in the way he did says a lot about his character, and where his priorities lay when it comes to creating his shows…. Think🤔💭💰💰💰💰💰

[basakozdamar]

I love how thoughtful and respectful he is of this case and the real menendez brothers 🥹

[RyanConnelly-vc]

Their father was clearly a tyrant but did he deserve to die? Don't know. Some people say they've served enough time in prison. Maybe for their father's death but I have a problem with the fact they also murdered their mother.

[themostbeautifulwomaninthe]

I agree that the Menendez Brothers should be released.
I believe that they were abused & most people would not make the same choices that they did as teens.
They have been in jail long enough..
They are grown men now, Let them out

Cooper Koch is an amazing actor. I think he stole the show (although all the main cast members were awesome). I cried at the end of the series (for a few reasons actually), whatever the truth behind this case is.

[PatrickCoombe]

If they were honestly abused and in fear for their life, let them free

[TRVP__QUN]

If they let Gypsy free because she "served her time" then these boys should be released considering they ACTUALLY were abused it's not just a ploy from their lawyers to get them a lighter sentence like they did in Gypsy's case...Gypsy herself said she was never abused so why is she allowed to roam free and be a fckn nuisance to humanity but the Menendez brothers are still locked up ??? Let them out ffs

[lynngregory]

I don’t believe what I m hearing. They thought their dad was going to disinherit them. That is an old story in families. They killed for money.

[mirabella]

The brothers should have never sent to prison. They did mankind a huge service. They are heroes.

[faithfulchild]

They had NO EXCUSE to commit murder PERIOD! They were grown adults who should have walked away!

[LoriEllingson]

These boys should not be in jail. That judge that excluded the abuse.. shame on him. What a POS. They have served their jail time now they need to heal from the horrific abuse they sustained at the hands of their parents, who should have protected them, not abused them.

Monsters The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story Is So Very Incredible At The Same Time So UpSet That They Didn't Go To The Real Life Brothers To Be 100 Perecent InVolve On The Project To Make Sure There Doing Everything Right For Season 2 !

[Ang.]

Wth is wrong w people? They’re were they’re supposed to be!

[oldorleans]

They deserve a second chance at life, and just think by now today with each and every single passing minute now that they have spent and lived their lives almost entirely behind bars because they have had to live over 30 years behind bars, thats more time living behind bars than living free in this world, they really had to grow up in the prison system in another brutal way of life, whereby they grew up with guards telling them when to eat when to wash, when to use the bathroom, when to use the telephone, they have had to ask for permission to do anything that they need to do and a lot of those things that they need to get permission for, some people do take for granted the freedom of that out here, like simply using the bathroom or eating etc, they have had to endure a lot and they have been through so much already that they truly should be able to have a second chance, they should not pose to be any risk to the public now or going forward with the right support because of what they are incarcerated for, as they killed their abusers and no one else and yes whilst they should of handled it differently, and gotten help then maybe this could of been prevented but they are not going to hurt anyone else if they are released now, they just want to live their lives in peace and have the chance of a fresh start in a healthy environment unlike the one they grew up in, we need to start making it better for people who need help like the brothers did before they felt like murder was the only way out, there needs to be more help and understanding yo prevent things like this even happening to begin with

[Ohnothetableits]

They just want to get out to spend the rest of their late parents’ money.

[kinggodlymustafa]

Their just some spoiled brats that would disrespect their parents all the time and when they’d get mad they’d get pissed off and secondly their dad had an immigrant mindset and wanted the best for them which is normal if your parents are immigrants and lastly I don’t believe the sexual abuse but if that’s true they could’ve just ran away from it other than just some spilt brats that were given everything and disrespected their parents 24/7

[Patrick.V.]

This show is basically on the side off the brothers ant they are complaining...LOL

[frankgaulin]

Spent to much time, should be free now

[sweetiepie]

I have never belived the sexual abuse.
