Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story is facing significant backlash from fans due to some controversial decisions, with one particular detail drawing comparisons to the infamous Starbucks cup from Game of Thrones.
The series has come under fire for various reasons, including its unsettling incest plotlines and real-life Erik Menendez expressing disappointment in the Netflix series for its “inaccuracy.” There has certainly been a lot of controversy swirling around the latest Ryan Murphy production.
This type of critique is common with true crime series, which often stir debates due to their grim subject matter. However, an emerging criticism focuses not on the dark history surrounding the case but rather a subtle on-set flaw that disrupts the show’s 1980s-1990s aesthetic.
In one particular scene, viewers noticed Erik and Lyle standing beside a door where, upon closer inspection, it appears there is a Ring camera visible on the exterior. Given that Ring was founded in 2011, this represents a significant timeline error.

While the camera isn’t clearly visible in the scene, it suspiciously resembles a Ring doorbell, characterized by a black rectangle and what appears to be a blue circle underneath.
Fans were quick to highlight this, with comments like: “I know damn well that’s not a RING CAMERA?? Baby, Ryan Murphy f**ked EVERYTHING up.”
Some viewers even liken this slip-up to another notable continuity error: the coffee cup in Game of Thrones’ final season, which sparked massive media attention back in 2019 as audiences and cast alike mocked the oversight.
Although the Ring doorbell error may not be as glaring, it still adds fuel to the growing backlash against Monsters.
One fan commented: “Brings me back to the good ole’ Starbucks cup in Game of Thrones,” while another remarked: “Nah because he f**ked EVERYTHING up. Like EVERYTHING. A ring camera is INSANE.”
Another added: “I’m sure the brothers just teleported 30 years into the future for this scene. Why not? It is just as realistic as the rest of the plot.”
