The super-producer has a half dozen shows on the air this fall, including 'Monsters' and 'Grotesquerie'. Have we hit Ryan Murphy overload?

Ryan Murphy believes Netflix’s Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story may have played a role in reaching a “move towards justice” in the brothers’ case. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the series director reacted to Thursday’s announcement that the case was being reevaluated.

Of course, the truth of the timing of all this is that it’s much more likely that Murphy (who recently asserted that his show was “the best thing that’s happened to the Menendez brothers in 30 years”) simply did the Ryan Murphy thing here and managed to glom on to a rising trend that was already picking up steam.
