While it was at the #1 spot in Netflix’s top 10 list for over a week, it has now been dethroned by a new, far better series, the romantic comedy Nobody Wants This.

Ryan Murphy's Monsters elicited a divided response about how Erik Menéndez and Lyle Menéndez's murder trial was portrayed in the Netflix series — but it isn't the only show that covers the controversial case.
