I Just Killed My Dad is a bizarre tale of a son with a scary past
After the gross revelation of Girl in the Picture, Netflix has brought another quivering story of family crime. I Just Killed My Dad focuses on the incident when a young Louisiana boy shot his father in their home. After killing his father, Anthony instantly called 911 and confessed his crime to the police.

The episodes give the viewer an insight into the shocking facts of a cold-blood murder, including the harrowing details about a teenager being abused by his father. However, the police couldn’t find any sign of abuse on his body.
Moreover, the series disclosed that Anthony did not have a normal life like any other kid because he was abducted by Burt Templet when he was five. He lived a sheltered life where his every move was tracked by cameras at home. The boy never knew what it was like to have friends and family and to study in a real school since Burt confined him in the four walls of their home kept telling him they had no one.

However, the ending of the series left fans weeping when this young abused boy finally meets his family. Anthony is taken to his grandparent’s home, and he asks his grandma for a hug. It was heart-wrenching to see how a boy was robbed of every happiness of his life.
Tweeters are calling the docuseries a fascinating watch
Fans are heartbroken to watch Anthony’s mentally and physically traumatic life story. As such, since the release, Twitter is flooding with comments and reactions from Netflix users.
