“Worse than the Game of Thrones trophy!” : This anachronism was spotted by Netflix subscribers in the Menendez Brothers series

“Worse than the Game of Thrones trophy!” : This anachronism was spotted by Netflix subscribers in the Menendez Brothers series

The mistake is already being compared to the legendary Starbucks cup in Game of Thrones. Fans of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menéndez Story, Netflix’s new flagship series, think they’ve spotted an anachronism that could rival GOT.

If there’s one thing everyone seems to be watching on Netflix right now, it’s the new chapter in Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s anthology series, Dahmer: Monster – The Story by Jeffrey Dahmer, this time focusing on the case. The Menendez brothers.

And talk about the series does not stop. Although fans say it’s “Best acting performance of all timeThe Menendez Family to Netflix and Ryan MurphyA lie pure and simple” Presented in the program, other viewers think that they have noticed significant anachronism in the episodes.

Let us remind you that the series tells about the high-profile case of the Menendez brothers in 1989, who were convicted of murdering their parents. Eric and Lyle actually shot Jose Menendez and his wife, Mary Louise, known as “Kitty,” in their Beverly Hills home. The brothers cited years of alleged sexual, emotional and physical abuse as a motive, but prosecutors argued they killed only to get a share of the family fortune.

Cooper Koch (Eric) and Nicolas Alexander Chavez (Lyle) play the brothers in the series, and Javier Bardem and Chloe Sevigny play Jose and Kitty, respectively.

An anachronism that makes noise

And the key point of it all is that the show is clearly set in the 80s and 90s as it deals with the events surrounding the murders as well as the infamous court case. That being said, viewers were a bit confused by one thing they noticed in one scene: a special doorbell…

Well, nothing says ’80s like a jingle bell. good jobHe,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “I’m watching something on netflix from 1989 and there was a doorbell in the background!!!!! How is this possible?? LOL!!!!“- exclaimed the other.

Yes, many people think they’ve spotted 21st century technology in the form of doorbells with little ring-style cameras. As another user noted: “Now, why is the bell ringing in this scene from the 80s?

If some complained that it was “totally confused“By mistake, others are just having fun, so they compare it”good old“Starbucks cup Game of Thrones and they say it will be a mistake”Worse than the coffee mug from Game of Thrones” (via PureBreak)!

One continued jokingly:I’m pretty sure the brothers teleported to this scene 30 years later. why not It is as realistic as the rest of the plot.

While this is a relatively minor misstep in terms of “fiction,” Eric Menendez has indeed accused the series of “gross lie“.

He released the following statement from prison (read in full here): “I believed we had moved beyond Lily’s lying and destructive character portrayals to create a caricature of Lily rooted in the horrible, gross lies that abound in the series. I just believe they did it on purpose. It is with a heavy heart that I say this: I believe that Ryan Murphy cannot be so naive and inaccurate about the facts of our lives that he does so without malicious intent.

Did the show tell the truth about the Menendez brothers? We will separate the truth from the fiction in this article!

In any case, the series, accurate or not, is a hit: two weeks after its online release, it is still number one on the top of Netflix, where it can be discovered exclusively.
