Wait you watched every episode and didn't think his fathers actions warranted being blown away?


You do realize none of what Eric and Lyle say has ever been proven and the series is based on their claims. There is no proof the father did any of it.

I just got thru 5. Eric's almost monolog was an amazing piece of acting, well scripted and I loved the camera shot featuring him. He really pulled off the afraid, confused teen he represented. Another thing this movie depicts, is how real life is more interesting than fiction imo. We see how screwed up so many families are, sadly.

What about the Menudo and Menendez doc on peacock? That guy said Jose raped other boys.

But, even if Jose actually raped both of sons and one of them for 13 years, I think the final outcome would be warranted.

Can we discuss how manipulative these spoiled brats are? They’ll make you believe anything . The sons have a special place in hell. You don’t claim the mafia killed your parents, spend buku amounts on merchandise, clean up the crime scene removing the shells, and start claiming abuse once the courts hit.

Did the admissions of the sexual abuse come out as the doc showed, with them being in two different prisons in two different interviews? Seems like the stories matched up pretty exact.

Seems like such a unique series so far even though it’s based on real events and characters that are so stereotypical of the time.


I’m a few episodes in and it’s pretty good. The casting is spot on. It reminds me of the OJ one where they nailed almost all of the casting. The one exception was David Schwimmer who stuck out like a sore thumb. So far I haven’t seen a miss. Shapiro was good, Dominick dunne etc. This one is well done and will win some awards.

They did, but they worked together for most of the first trial. In Episode 5 I think the main lawyer stated she only wanted Erik in for that meeting.
