No One Saw a Thing (2019–2021)

Warped fantasy masquarading as a documentary

Warning: Spoilers
Yes, technically, it is a documentary. Interviews of real people, actual footage of the place. But the way it is structured comes from some really far out imagination.

First, they gloss over the crimes of Ken Rex McElroy. He inflicted so much suffering on people of Skidmore, he was nothing short of a domestic terrorist, and his violence was escalating (in no small part because the law enforcement and the justice system were powerless to stop him). What's a people to do? Yes, take the problem into their own hands and solve it. Which they did, kudos to the brave men who got the world rid of this menace, and to all the people that protected them.

Second, third, forth..... all the subsequent events. None of them have anything to do with KRM or with his killing. None whatsoever. There is a river running through town? Someone is going to drown. There are teenagers? Some of them are going to commit suicide. There are drugs? Someone is going to end up silenced (i.e. Dead). Domestic violence is everywhere, including Skidmore. The depraved sociopath that killed a pregnant woman to harvest her fetus? She is from a different state! How is any of this connected to KRM?

Interviews with his progeny should have been left out. I do feel sorry for them, primarily because they had a violent piece of crap for a "father" who sired 19 kids with 5 different wives by his mid-40s, but to blame the vigilantes for "taking a loving dad away from their children"? Sorry, not sorry. The vigilantes had a right to protect their own children.

Finally, please take away the "crime author". She should never be on TV.
