The wait is officially over! “General Hospital” fans can watch Nicholas Alexander Chavez (ex-Spencer Cassadine) in “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” now streaming on Netflix.

Chronicling the case of the real-life brothers who were convicted in 1996 for the August 20, 1989 murders of their parents, José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez, the second season of the Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan-led true-crime anthology series sees Chavez taking on the role of Lyle Menendez, the eldest brother, while newcomer Cooper Koch plays Erik Menendez. Playing their parents are Javier Bardem and Chloë Sevigny.

During the real-life trial, the prosecution argued the brothers killed their parents to inherit their family fortune. Meanwhile, Lyle and Erik claimed – and remain adamant to this day, as they serve life sentences without the possibility of parole – that their actions stemmed out of fear from a lifetime of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse at the hands of their parents.

Their charges need to be changed to manslaughter. They were about to be retried for the lesser charge, but LA DA Gil Garcetti's team had just lost the OJ case which made them look so bad. It was an ego thing. 

I believe the brothers. I lived in Orange County when this happened and we couldn't get away from it. It's gruesome. This series is going to be hard to watch (for me, I'm a wimp). But there's some big chit coming. Nic Chavez is exactly how I knew he would be in this.

Whatever my complaints about Murphy, the music in his projects is always on point.

The Milli Vanilli songs (Yes. Songs. As in plural.

) sent me careening back into my past. I'll be honest, I barely remember the crime. My sharpest memories are of the trial of them both.

I read the whole story and at no point did they answer the question, how is Erik Menendez watching Netflix in prison?

Taking real life crime and turning it into taboo-fetish porn with subtitles... is not my cup of tea for entertainment. This time Murphy went one step too far. I have seen scenes in youtube, just out of curiosity and the way it's promoted - even the ads and the posters... is so absurd and inappropriate, and so FAR from reality, that it's laughable. 

Even this shot... is enough for me. It looks like an ad for a posh gay escort service. Disgusting way of glamorizing. Like WTF.

    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!
