Been watching The Menendez Brothers; now that's some effed-up shit. The abuse they suffered was off the charts, and it turned those guys into sociopaths.

Netflix strikes again...
Netflix strikes again...
Yeah, it's become a joke. They either cancel a series before its time, or if they do continue one, we have to wait 2-3 years to see the next season, and by that time, you've forgotten it.This sort of thing has me questioning why I even bother with Netflix anymore.
We are only assuming they suffered abuse from their parents. No facts just stories. But if true was horrendous.Been watching The Menendez Brothers; now that's some effed-up shit. The abuse they suffered was off the charts, and it turned those guys into sociopaths.
I think the way to do streaming services is 3-4 months of one them cancel and do the next. And you get back to your first one after a couple of yearsThis sort of thing has me questioning why I even bother with Netflix anymore.
I was reading where one of the Menudo singers (the ones Jose Menendez signed for RCA) claimed Jose drugged and r*ped him. So, while the series tries to skirt that line of whether it is true or if they are lying, that makes me think that the sexual abuse occurred.We are only assuming they suffered abuse from their parents.

For another perspective watch Episode 3 of Mastermind : Think Like a Killer where the Brothers get a piece through Ann Burgess analysing their storyI was reading where one of the Menudo singers (the ones Jose Menendez signed for RCA) claimed Jose drugged and r*ped him.

I do think the brothers are putting a lot of Mayo on their claims, no doubt. They saw this as a way to get a reduced sentence. So, it's very possible that some of the things they claimed were untrue. But the sexual abuse they suffered from their father was true, IMO. But that still doesn't justify what they did, and I think their life sentence was appropriate.For another perspective watch Episode 3 of Mastermind : Think Like a Killer where the Brothers get a piece through Ann Burgess analysing their story
I agree the sentence is appropriate because I dont think there was an appropriate trigger moment ( apart from when they pulled it ) to justify self defenceI do think the brothers are putting a lot of Mayo on their claims, no doubt.

I wish I'd been at that show. I remember going down to Mandurah to see a You Am I gig back in the day and there was like 30 people there. Great show.The Colin Hay Story
Sad really but positive that he is ''doing what he loves '' and will die on the road literally and not in Broome

There was no battered wife syndrome where the woman grabs a knife to protect herself from the new beating etc
This was a planned event outside of any current or real threat
But having being 30 years removed from any thought outside they did it - it was an interesting perspective to look at
I doubt it's fake. The cousin said she witnessed it when they were like 10 years old didn't she? Also if it was fake why would they kill them?It genuinely was an interesting story but the brothers were their own worst enemy. Incredibly stupid and arrogant. I dont know what was false or true, these stories tend to embellish for ratings. The sex abuse stuff imo is fake. Too many coincidences to the book and the lawyers previous cases. That Lawyer if played accurately was trash.

Just finished watching that and wholeheartedly agree. Don't remember ever seeing someone as deluded, hypocritical and sociopathic as that woman. She was dark and crazy AF!!Show was amazing. Those two chick's from Alpha were sociopaths
The Monsters one?I've been watching the Jeffry Dahmer series. God, it's effed up what that monster did. The actors all do a great job with a very difficult subject.
