No One Saw a Thing explained
No One Saw a Thing is an American documentary television series that was first shown on SundanceTV on August 1, 2019.[1]
Production
On February 27, 2018, it was announced that SundanceTV had given a six-episode series order to No One Saw a Thing, a new documentary television series directed by Avi Belkin. The series was executive produced by Belkin, Alexandra Shiva, Jason Blum, Jeremy Gold, and Marci Wiseman. Production companies include Blumhouse Television.[2]
Premise
No One Saw a Thing examines "an unsolved and mysterious death in the American Heartland and the effects of vigilantism in small town America. The case garnered international attention in the early 1980s after a resident, Ken Rex McElroy, was shot dead in front of almost 60 townspeople. These witnesses deny having seen anything, to this very day."[3]
Reception
Decider called it "amazing", where "Belkin does a good job of revisiting a case that captured the nation's — if not the world's — attention in the 1980s and brings some fresh perspective to it" by comparing the town's reactions via past archival shots and present interviews.[4]
