Fear Thy Neighbor

This series features episodes based on actual cases where a dispute between neighbors escalate to the point they end in bloodshed. They use actors to play the families and neighbors involved in actual cases and recreate actual events of disputes that end tragically. I'm sure they take some dramatic license but they seem try to include the actual events that started the first conflict and subsequent escalation that ended in tragedy. How accurate these are I can't say but they do include commentary of actual members of the 2 or more families involved along with the actual neighbors and friends. So they recreate the story including some of the actual people providing their recollection of the events to tell the stories of tragic events. I watch it with with my 21 year-old son and we are both intrigued with the show. Regardless of how accurate the recreation by actors may be, the viewer does learn the final outcome. It certainly shows the viewer why you want to do everything you can to be good neighbors and how tragically things can end when you don't.

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

It's called The Nightmare Neighbour Next Door on Channel 5. Just as appalling and shocking. But, with one minor difference. No one gets their head blown off.

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.
