Fear Thy Neighbor (2014–2023)
6/10
Good show, but needs some fact checking.
17 February 2024
I enjoyed this show and binge watched most of the episodes. This show tells true stories of arguments that go terribly wrong. Most of them begin innocently enough, but things get WAY out of hand. I hope people watch this show and realize that there are some things that just aren't worth it, and some things that can never be undone. I hope it makes them think twice before those things happen.

What prompted me to review, though, is to correct an error in S6;E3. In this episode a Border Collie is shown to have killed chickens. The dog is eventually shot and killed. The show depicted the dog as a Border Collie, but a Border Collie is a very unlikely chicken killer. They are bred to, and instinctively protect domestic animals, even if they are not their own. A husky, mixed breed, or even a fox or coyote are the usual chicken killers. I am not sure if this family's dog was actually a Border Collie, or if the show simply chose this lovable, popular family pet to feature as their dog, but I feel they did the breed, and all herding dogs a disservice by portraying this dog this way. Most people may not notice the discrepancy, but some of us certainly do, and this breed does not deserve to be represented in this way.
