I liked the show. Well executed and actors do a great job, but I wanna say something about it which inlcudes spoilers so if you haven't watched it yet, stop reading my review from here... So, I watched this show and according to it, I came to a conclusion that those boys were very bad and basically monsters and the story with sexual abuse was made up and when they got life imprisonment without parole, I was happy about it, HOWEVER! After this show, I watched the documentary "The Menendez Brothers (2024)" which is a documentary about those brothers with real footages and interviews and actual footages from the court and watching that documentary I came to conclusion that those boys were telling the truth and they were really sexually abused and they didn't deserve life imprisonment. To be honest, I'm conflicted and don't know which one to believe, but I'm more proning to a real documentary rather the show.
