I never have, but this amazing 6-part limited series sure gives me cause to re-evaluate my stance. Stuff like this is what makes me love documentaries, and there is no doubt in my mind that truth is stranger than fiction. Any screenwriter would have been laughed out of Hollywood proposing what happens here as a fictional motion picture. This is one of those rare "potato chip experiences" - you can't stop after just one. I stayed up WAY too late, but I couldn't wait to see what the next episode had to offer. And I'm actually going to leave it at that, because the less you know about what happens the better. Let me just say that I will truly never forget the city of Skidmore MO and its array of colorful and unconventional inhabitants. I was shocked, I was heartbroken and I was bemused - often simultaneously. I was so close to giving this a perfect rating, but I felt it could have been edited just a bit tighter, especially the final segment. But this is one of the best programs I've seen in a while, and I'm quite tempted to start it over again right away. - Jeff Marshall, Movie Blogger (Facebook) See more J T @RT79803067 08/08/2023 I'm sure there is an amazing story to tell about what happened in Skidmore before and after Ken Rex Macelroy was killed, but this documentary fails miserably. By the second episode it was already getting repetitive - showing the same clips and the same sound bites. The central premise of the series is that the violence that day somehow caused waves of karma that ripples across several decades and played a role in other murders and disappearances. But that's a pretty shaky theory and the stories told don't support it. Also, the documentary does a poor job of explaining just what a terrible person Ken Rex was, and why a whole community would want him gone. This may have been an effect of all the interviews they did with his surviving family members, who try to portray him in a positive light. Anyway, this is not worth your time. See more 01/17/2022 The story was great, especially what happened years down the line in the city - which comes up in episode 4 and beyond in the show. However, this is such a slow-moving, slow-paced, repetitive show that it gets so incredibly boring, quick. It is only good as background noise ultimately, after you hear the story of the first murder. This should've been a 1.5 hour documentary, not a 6 episode run. See more 06/15/2020 Six long episodes of Skidmore, Missouri and they didn't bother to ask why a judge allowed Ken McElroy out on bail after he was convicted of shooting someone in the stomach. They had the time but left open questions as to why the legal system failed to protect the town from the alleged bully. They did take time to make woo-woo insinuations about "karma", when talking about every other bad thing that happened in the town afterwards. And then a local blowhard or two had a lot of time to blow hard. I got tired of hearing the Southern drawl, by the end of the series. It wasn't too bad - it was watchable - but I wouldn't recommend it to a friend. See more Read all reviews
