    As previously mentioned, lots of the same stuff is repeated over and over and over again, some of the 'characters' are quite annoying and very anecdotal. The first episode is the characters droning on about how hard life is living there, who cares!!!! They chose to live there. This needs to be condensed into fewer episodes. What was also a little confusing is there's footage of the victim being interviewed along with all the other characters but it isn't made clear initially that he is the victim. On a positive note, the scenery is spectacular and the story is quite interesting.

    The producers of this went down to Terlingua after hearing about the brutal murder and picked out a half dozen characters in the town to build the story around What transpires is a disjointed tedious concoction of drunken ramblings of eccentric people. Repetition of the same video footage, cheesy high altitude drone shots, and wildlife clips, combined with irrelevant moments of the everyday lives of the characters who live there, resulted in dragging out this pathetic story outover eight episodes. At times, this documentary seemed like it was nothing more than an audio/video class project for a bunch of high school kids. Rhonda, the cougar character is so wasted in some of the footage, she makes Charlie Sheen's coke infused rants now seem genius.....

    At the show opening credits u get the phone call from cook.Now think about this why would he say he found his boss{ IN} a parking lot. Not the parking lot where i work. Now there is a possibility that flint did kick his face in but maybe and i mean maybe the caller could have run him over by accident and put the body back where the skids marks were and the winds or a broom could have easily removed the tire tracks. Now i know its a stretch but if there was a cook there and when he left he may have accidentally ran over a badly beaten man crawling back to the bar but was to messed up and when employee goes home he hits him gets scared and makes the 911 to clear himself. Now i think he's guilty because he kept changing story but is my point valid. Let me Know Sheriff. PS Flint should fry

    I'm not sure if this was first intended to be about the few living in a "ghost town" but they were able to capture an interview with Glenn (victim) then proceeded to tell about his murder and how it affected the community. I agree that it's a slow watch; however, I enjoyed learning more about the people and their struggles, their loyalty to one another, etc. If you're looking for a strictly gory true-crime murder, this isn't the documentary for you. This is a well made insight into a tiny community of interesting people living in an area in Texas that most wouldn't want to stay there for a week. I'm glad I found this on Hulu and learned about this tragedy as well as more about our country.
