## Synopsis

Worst Neighbor Ever (2026) is a US true crime docuseries produced for Netflix and set in present-day American neighborhoods. Across four feature-length episodes of roughly fifty-six minutes each, it revisits real cases in which a friendly-seeming neighbor became a source of fraud, dread and violent retribution. Rather than dramatizing events, the series builds each story from interviews with the people caught in it: a victim named Shawna Scott (Self), her daughter Haley Boyd (Self), her aunt Wanda Collinsworth (Self), and a former Montgomery County deputy, Duane Kidd (Self), who recall how small grievances hardened into criminal schemes. Archive footage, police accounts and courtroom perspectives from a prosecuting attorney, Andrew Reinhardt (Self), add texture and procedural weight. The engine of each episode is the slow accumulation of evidence and the question of how ordinary domestic friction turned so dangerous. The tone is intense and unsettling, with a grounded, sober register that keeps the focus on lived experience. Viewers who enjoy The Staircase, Making a Murderer and The Jinx will find the same blend of real testimony, moral unease and forensic patience. It is a short, single-season limited series that rewards full attention.
