I really appreciate your balanced and thoughtful review! The one thing that is keeping me away from the show are all the reviews about the weird homoerotic subtext between the brother (something about them kissing?). Did you get any of this from it outside of the ending?
There is a scene where the show portrays the two brothers being together romantically but it is explained as being a conspiracy theory being discussed by Lane’s character. I also remember a scene where the brothers share a kiss before entering the court room and Lyle suggestively remarking about Rob Lowe playing Eric in a future adaptation of their crime because he is sexy which makes Eric blush. Given that Lyle abused Eric the fact that the show would then hint at their being a hidden romance between them even though there is no evidence for it, as far as I know, is very strange.

Yeah that's pretty much what I read that it was a strange thing to add. Thanks for sharing 🙏.
