Lori M If the end didn't bring yiu to tears. You have no heart. It was refreshing to see justice being served. All I wanted to do at the end was hug him. Thank God he never had to go to prison. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/11/23 Full Review Brian S The dad was an abusive sack of **** that definitely deserved to be killed by his son. Still, this story wasn't interesting enough to warrant three episodes. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/23 Full Review marischa s Trauma and abuse quite evident in this documentary. I hope Anthony looks forward and never back. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/30/23 Full Review Renee D It was a very interesting case, but the three episodes moved slowly and weren't really gripping. I found myself scrolling through my phone, which is not a good sign when you are supposed to be engrossed. In short, good content, mediocre presentation. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Savannah G I am easily entertained by anything crime. But the respect this gave to domestic abuse was incredible. Truly an incredible story and had me moved to tears many times towards the end! Really incredible story. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Zedgee 0 This is so heartbreaking. Really good documentary.

I Just Killed My Dad: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Nick Schager The Daily Beast I Just Killed My Dad transforms into a portrait of behind-closed-doors cruelty that’s chilling precisely because its perpetrator so easily concealed it from the world. Aug 11, 2022 Full Review I Just Killed My Dad: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times What initially seemed to be a cut-and-dried case of murder was much more complicated. Rated: 3/4 Aug 11, 2022 Full Review I Just Killed My Dad: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Borgman has a remarkable ability to get a very shy, quiet young man to open up as much as possible. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 10, 2022 Full Review I Just Killed My Dad: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Mel Campbell ScreenHub What sets [Borgman's] work apart is its gentleness in what can often be a prurient and pitiless genre … but as craft, it isn’t special. Or perhaps its themes are too subtle for the blunt tropes of true crime TV. Rated: 3/5 Aug 29, 2022 Full Review I Just Killed My Dad: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Graeme Tuckett Stuff.co.nz I Just Killed My Dad isn't quite as compelling, or jaw-dropping as Abducted in Plain Sight or The Girl In The Picture. But it is still a better show of its type than almost anything else out there. Recommended. Aug 19, 2022 Full Review I Just Killed My Dad: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Marty Brown Common Sense Media This docuseries' depiction of abuse is often powerful but ultimately unsatisfying.
