Tom Everett Scott in The Good Father: The Martin MacNeill Story (2021)

Based on a true story, The Good Father follows Dr. MacNeill (Tom Everett Scott) and the incredible life he led with his former beauty queen wife, Michele (Charisma Carpenter) and their eight children. A pillar of the community, he was respected and loved by all especially by his daughter Alexis (Anwen O'Driscoll) who adored him and even wanted to follow in his footsteps to become a doctor. But everything soon changes after Dr. MacNeill convinces Michele to have plastic surgery, ultimately leading to her drowning while on prescription medication. Just a few short weeks after his wife's suspicious death, Dr. MacNeill brings home Gypsy Willis, a new live-in 'nanny for his children but who is in actuality his mistress. Shocked by her father's actions, Alexis begins to question everything she has known about him and discovers the depth of his lies, including his bogus medical credentials, falsified military records, and that the man and good doctor she once revered, was capable of murder.

Strange things going on in Utah and Idaho.

First, we watched the bizarre Lori Vallow Lifetime movie, then we caught the bizarre Martin MacNeil Lifetime movie. What's going on with Mormons?

The Martin MacNeill story is so strange that you'd think it was a work of fiction. Watch some of the actual court video on Youtube and read some of the news articles. Michele's daughter and sister really did have to solve and pursue the case on their own. They were also consultants for the movie.
