Ryan Murphy's new series, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story , airs on Netflix .

The series takes an unflinching look at the brothers who were found guilty of first -degree murder for the deaths of their parents, Jose and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez , in the ’90s .

The Menendez family has called the show “repulsive” and Erik has released a statement disparaging the series.

I think the show is the best thing that has happened to the Menendez brothers in 30 years .

I think Erik and Lyle Menendez are happy that we told this story, and they're glad it exists because it shines a spotlight on them in a very dramatic, powerful way.

I do think that it's interesting that some people are so mad about your show, as if Law and Order hasn't been running for 25 years .
