Ryan Murphy’s Netflix series “Monsters” is already getting an angry response from viewers over its suggestion that the convicted murderers had an incestuous relationship.
In it, the camera sensually pans around the actors playing the notorious brothers as they, while shirtless, start caressing each other’s bodies.. And, well, yes, that is exactly what the trailer was suggesting—which the show itself stops just short of making explicit.
Within the short time that the series has been out, the allegation of sibling incest has already sparked backlash against the show.insinuates that one of the motives the Menendez Brothers had for killing their parents was to disguise their incestuous relationship.The series introduces the idea “that Lyle and Erik committed parricide not in response to trauma but because they were terrified that José might learn that they were lovers,” Schager wrote.
Homoerotic clips from the series have started circulating on social media, offending a vocal group of posters. “Lyle admitted on the stand that he molested Erik when they were children just to show him what their own father was doing to him,” one X poster wrote. “To act as if they were in a incest relationship when they were older is revolting. It ain’t a fanfic it’s peoples trauma.”
“Taking a story about two brothers who suffered from sexual abuse from their dad and turning it into an incestuous fantasy is horrid,”anthology series, about serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, received a similar polarized reception. It was a huge hit for Netflix, and won several Emmy Awards, but also faced criticism from the families of Dahmer’s victims, who were dismayed to see their experiences sensationalized for entertainment.
