Let’s be honest. No one loves dealing with a bad neighbor. Most of the time, it’s the usual stuff. Maybe they play music a little too loud, leave their trash bins out for days, or accidentally build a fence a few inches over the property line. Frustrating? Definitely. But after watching Netflix’s new number one series, Worst Neighbor Ever, those everyday annoyances might suddenly feel pretty minor
If you watched Worst Roommate Ever or Worst Ex Ever, you’ll already know the vibe. Worst Neighbor Ever is the newest installment in the true crime franchise, this time turning the spotlight on the people living right next door. Across four chilling cases, the series explores how ordinary neighborhood disputes can spiral into harassment, intimidation, and, in some cases, deadly violence
The first season premiered on July 1 and combines firsthand accounts from neighbors, interviews with law enforcement, and shocking body camera footage to piece together stories that are almost impossible to believe, except they’re all true

Each of the four episodes focuses on a different case. Episode one, “She Finally Snapped,” follows Frances as she goes from Shawna and Dave’s houseguest to a paranoid neighbor consumed by grievances and determined to escalate a one-sided feud
Episode two, “Midwest Meltdown,” transports viewers to a quiet Indiana suburb in 2012. After a massive explosion rocks the neighborhood, investigators begin questioning the motives of neighbor Moncy and her new boyfriend, Mark
In episode three, “Fear Thy Neighbor,” Miles and Melina think they’ve found their dream home, only to find themselves caught in a nightmare when their former neighbor, Jamal, launches a relentless harassment campaign after being evicted
The final episode, “The EXECUTOR,” begins when Charles’ neighbors report him missing. Suspicion quickly turns to Caroline, who claims she’s managing his estate while secretly concealing a grisly crime
Every episode is jaw-dropping, but viewers online seem especially shaken by episode three. You may want to keep a box of tissues nearby
All four episodes of Worst Neighbor Ever are streaming now on Netflix
