If you’re looking for a light watch, keep scrolling. Monster is a heavy, often uncomfortable exploration of one of the most famous cases in American history. It avoids the easy 'good vs. evil' narrative, opting instead to live in the messy, traumatic gray area of the Menendez household.

While the production is undeniably high-quality, it carries the typical Ryan Murphy baggage: it’s occasionally too loud, too flashy, and risks being exploitative. For adults and older teens interested in legal history or psychological dramas, it's a compelling piece of television, but it’s a 'watch with the lights on' kind of experience.
