NFT: Netflix Menendez Brothers Show

ajr2456 : 9/24/2024 4:58 pm
Any watch and is it worth watching?

I’ve seen a lot of Gen Z social media stuff that people think they shouldn’t be in jail.
haven't yet  
djm : 9/24/2024 5:00 pm : link
but lately I have been inclined to watch stuff like this.
Very tough watch

Be prepared
They're LUCKY to only be in jail  
Sky King : 9/24/2024 7:13 pm : link
They should have been executed.
it's interesting  
Enzo : 9/24/2024 7:16 pm : link
how stuff like this is being revisited. It's not like this case flew under the radar in the 90s. There was non stop coverage, a tv movie, multiple documentaries, etc. And a great piece in Vanity Fair by Dominick Dunne which is available online. And of course the Mark Jackson basketball card, lol.

Netflix has turned into a cesspool, there programming is 90% geared toward 20’s girls imo
It’s well done  
Mike from Ohio : 9/24/2024 8:24 pm : link
But tough to watch in spots. There are times when you want to see them executed, and times you question that. Overall, I think it was well done and would recommend it.
Ive watched the first three episodes....  
BillKo : 9/24/2024 8:32 pm : link
..and really like it so far.

I don't really remember following it at the time - a few years before OJ.

The actor playing the older brother does an outstanding job and the entire vibe so far, to me, is a bit campy. But I like it.
I don't know if the documentary has a point of view it's telling  
BestFeature : 9/24/2024 10:47 pm : link
and things were omitted but I don't know how anyone of sound mind can watch that and think they shouldn't be in jail.

That said I really liked it but found some inaccuracies/inconsistencies.

*SPOILER ALERT*

1) Everything I know about therapists is that doctor patient confidentiality does not extend to confessed murderers. I'm very confused about why that was such a big part of the narrative. Unless that's what Ozeal told them for his own safety.

2) Ozeal's mistress was the one that told the police that the brothers killed their parents but then testified for the defense? Or did she not testify for the defense and was just unhinged and ended up playing into the defense's hands by trashing Ozeal?

3) If the book the brothers followed to detail the sexual abuse was indeed used by the defense attorney to get out her previous client and used for the brothers why did Erik tell her what "happened" to him and why was she so distraught?
Famous NBA Hoops Trading Card

from 1990 of Mark Jackson of the NYK in action and to his left seated in the front row courtside at MSG are the Menendez brothers at the Knicks game just days after they commited the crimes. Very creepy.

1) Crimes already committed, including murder, are supposed to be kept confidential. If a client were to say: "I'm going to kill my parents tomorrow", then there is no duty preventing the therapist from going to the authorities (or the persons threatened) with the information. But the therapist still shouldn't tell anyone who didn't need to know.

2) Judalon Smyth was called as a witness for the defense. Discrediting Oziel was the intended point.

1) I'll take your word for it but that sounds crazy to me.

2) Ok, but there just seems to be a disconnect between her going to the cops in the first place. Unless...she thought that it would get Oziel fired for spilling the beans to her?
The main question is do you believe the accusations  
ajr2456 : 9/24/2024 11:34 pm : link
Of sexual assault?

I personally don’t.

Maybe I'm a sucker because the narrative of show definitely was heavily made to discredit them. I don't believe it. Them never telling Oziel in the first place is one big reason for it. And a lot of people said they never saw abuse, particular the housekeeper. And by abuse I even mean just yelling and whatnot.
I don’t know how accurately depicted the interactions are  
ajr2456 : 9/24/2024 11:53 pm : link
But if it’s true Oziel gave him the out of “just blame it on abuse” and Erik didn’t take it, then I find it hard to believe

I also don't know how anyone can ignore the fact that Lyle basically confessed that the abuse defense was bullshit to his fan.
I don’t know if the abuse was real or not  
Mike from Ohio : 9/25/2024 7:27 am : link
I think there may have been some, as there were family members and friends when they were young who say one or both of the boys mentioned it at the time. I think it may have been exaggerated for their defense.

The part of the defense I don’t believe is that they killed their parents because they were afraid they were going to be killed. I think they killed their parents because they didn’t like them AND because there was a bunch of money to be had (or so they thought).

Kind of agree with the drop off of quality content on Netflix, tho I don't agree with your target audience theory.

I think Apple+, Prime Video, Max and Hulu all have become much better than Netflix.
