I Just Killed My Dad

Great documentary! I personally think that Netflix is pretty good at making this kind of true crime documentaries. The great thing is that they not only use the publicly available materials like e.g. Interrogations, but also interview all relevant people: e.g. Police, family, friend, neigbours...

So I certainly hope that we do not need to wait long before we get another one of these documentaries.

I did.

Heartbreaking story of mental abuse and enforced isolation.

I too was abused but at least allowed to go to school. At times I too wanted to kill my father for beating me and my mother, yelling and mentally abusing me as a child at all my inadequacies, so many, many times - too many to count or recount here. My outlet was school and some neighbor friends. I cannot imagine having had that taken away from me and what I would have done. Age 10 I begged my mother to take me away to somewhere else, I could not take it anymore. She never did.

Anthony you could see at the very end was beginning to be himself, cope with freedom and integrate with society all of which he had been denied for his entire life. He was making the effort.

I understand him well, I wish him all the best. He will do well I think. I did, and expect he will too. At the very end his sign of emotion said it all to me.

Why I cried.

Mirror. Mirror.

Another good true documentary story produced by Netflix. First off - it's nice how they shed light on how cumulative manipulation and abuse can have ruin on a persons life. I thought the production had all the pieces for a sad, but educational docuseries. Some of these documentaries are too long and dragged out - but this one tells you the whole story in three episodes.

God bless Anthony and may he make the most of a full life that is ahead of him!

A look into the case of Anthony Tamplet, who shot his father dead, the question is why, he never denied it, but what pushed him to this breaking point?

A very well made series as you'd expect, it's certainly different, it tells a very unusual story. Insightful interviews, first hand points of view, and some surprising footage.

It makes you think outside of the box, it forces you to question whether killing someone can be justified, or if it's always wrong to take someone's life.

The real twist comes at the end of Part one, and what you thought was reasonable, what you thought you knew, is turned on its head.

For what it's worth, I liked Anthony, you can see someone who's had a terrible start in life, and anyone that says he's cold, I'd dispute that, and urge you to watch episode three closely, you'll see a different side to him.

8/10.

Very good documentary. Well edited and detailed, at the same time frustrating and sad.

I couldn't stop watching it, very interesting.

The stepmother, Susan, is a really strange and unbelievable woman, very lost, in my opinion. It's the most annoying part of the documentary, this happened 3 years ago!!! If you know what I mean.

The police, again, also very passive.

Please learn from this and don't let it happen again! It could have been avoided in my opinion.

In short, a great documentary to also learn that not everything is as simple as it seems.
