Interestingly, director Skye Borgman, who is also behind the recount of the
Sharon Marshall case, helms this three-part series. It will explore the
psychology behind a horrendous crime, such as killing one’s father and accepting
the crime just like that. It will raise prominent questions such as what kind of
complex mindset would have led to the incident and also reveal shocking truths.
If the premise intrigued you already, here’s everything you need to know about
it.


IS THE DOCUSERIES BASED ON A TRUE INCIDENT?

Yes, it is a true crime documentary. The series centers on Anthony Templet, a
17-year-old Louisiana resident who murdered his father. Although the idea sounds
simple, there has been discussion about the circumstances that led to the
incident.

Anthony got into an argument with his father, Burt, in their Baton Rouge home in
2019 when he was 17 years old and eventually murdered him. Fox reported
[https://www.fox8live.com/2022/07/14/netflix-series-br-killing-debut-next-month/]
that Burt wanted to seize Anthony’s phone to see if he had been in touch with
Susan, his ex-wife. (It is said that just a few months before to Burts’ murder,
Susan had filed an order of protection against him.) From that point on,
everything got worse.


I JUST KILLED MY DAD: TRAILER AND NETFLIX RELEASE DATE

The 1-minute, the 44-second trailer gives the audience insights into what they
should expect from the three-part docuseries. As you can see, what sets I Just
Kill My Dad on Netflix [https://netflix.com] apart is it will bring forth
Anthony Templet himself. The little boy who hasn’t got the chance to go to a
public school doesn’t know his birthdate or address and grows up to murder his
own father is whom we get to meet in the trailer.

However, what seems to be a straightforward murder and then a confession on a
phone call with 9-1-1, is actually a story of a convoluted, abusive father-son
relationship. As each side presents their stories and more sources weigh in on
the case, third parties will be able to get a better idea of this untold
crime. The true crime docu-series premieres on Netflix
[https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news/] on Tuesday, August 8.
