Fear Thy Neighbor

Great crime documentary save for one problem: Before every commercial break there's a run of upcoming scenes, and unless you're prepared to very quickly mute the TV and close your eyes, these will be spoilers. Viewers are supposed to be held in suspense. But when a "coming up" preview shows the person you LEAST suspect swinging a weapon ... that just ruins the suspense. We don't need the spoilers. I want to be sitting at the edge of my seat, wondering who's going to blow first. The inserted previews ruin this experience. I hope the director of this series sees my review. STOP THE SPOILERS!

Muting the TV and closing one's eyes isn't a practical solution. Sometimes I'm caught off guard, or someone else in the room has the remote.

Complete with corny acting, everybody's right/nobody's wrong, overly intense narration, and genuine home surveillance footage at times. But that screeching, nails on chalkboard, sword coming from sheath, high pitch sound effect they play dozens of times per episode forces me to take breaks more than I want to.

I hope the person who had the idea to add that wretched noise has sons who are only mediocre in sports.

It a like hate relationship with this show. I often wonder if these stories are of people with mental issues or they've left out critical details. It's one person that is confrontational without reason and one surreptitiously annoying person. The immaturity is amazing. No one says hey this is going too far and then avoids the other. Example: person says keep your dog off mg lawn, dog owner lets dog run free then feels victimized when the neighbor comes at him.

I wish they would leave this show on!!! It's one of my favorites!!!

Seeing neighbors kill each other over silly things like dog doo on their lawn will make you a nicer person. I no longer scream at people in my apartment building for minor etiquette infractions in the laundry room.
