I Am a Killer Season 6 episode leaves Netflix viewers “troubled” for surprising reason

by

In the final episode of I Am a Killer Season 6, the focus is on the case of Kevin Saxon, leaving viewers with concerns, yet these concerns are unlike what one would typically expect.

Last week, the sixth installment of the true-crime documentary series was released on Netflix, focusing on five individual cases. This episode delves into the perspectives of convicted killers, exploring their thoughts on the crimes they committed and the events that drove them to such actions.

In the initial two installments, we delve deeper into the backgrounds of characters Candie Dominguez and Daniel Lopez. Meanwhile, Episode 3 unravels the startling storyline concerning Walter Triplett Jr.

With “I Am a Killer” remaining popular on Netflix’s top 10 list, attention is now shifting towards the Season 6 finale titled ‘Choices’, and the narrative of Saxon, who was apprehended in 2002 for the murder of his criminal associate Richard Gaines.

Kevin Saxon leaves I Am A Killer Season 6 viewers conflicted

Instead of labeling Saxon as a heartless criminal without hesitation, viewers find themselves empathizing with him, despite their concerns about the case.

Despite being linked to multiple criminal activities in his past, Saxon endured a challenging childhood in the neighborhood of Harlem, which eventually led him to associate with drug-related gangs. Following a prison term, he was freed in 1999, resolved to change his life for the better along with his spouse and child.

In the heat of things, I found myself back in the world of drug dealing, solely to provide for my loved ones. A scuffle with Gaines ensued, and unfortunately, it escalated beyond what either of us intended. However, I maintain that it was never my intention for it to turn fatal.

In the Netflix documentary, the man currently aged 54, incarcerated at Five Points Correctional Facility in New York, shares his regret over past events and explains the factors that contributed to his incarceration.

After watching the sixth season’s I Am a Killer episode, a spectator shared on Reddit, “I completed his story and it leaves me with unease.

It seems unfair to me that a person like Kevin, who’s committed such actions, would be freed. Regardless of the challenges faced in one’s upbringing or the belief that there’s no other choice, it still troubles me because I found myself feeling compassionate towards him.

Growing up, I was fortunate to reside in a secure nation. My upbringing was filled with privilege, loving parents, and financial stability. This has given me a unique perspective, as I have not experienced the hardships faced by individuals such as Kevin. Because of this, I strive to avoid passing judgment on others.

I disagree with his actions, yet I refrain from passing judgment. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the many shortcomings in our system, particularly its lack of support for those subjected to such conditions, and the general apathy towards people in similar environments.

He was a notorious drug dealer in his neighborhood. Releasing someone with such a background without providing any assistance for them to turn their life around, wouldn’t it be reasonable to anticipate they might fall back into old habits?

One individual concurred, “The circumstances they matured within, molded by the sport they were destined to play, encompasses everything around them. For a long while, poverty has been associated with feelings of embarrassment and guilt. Gradually, these emotions have morphed into aggression.

Living in a nation rich beyond measure, yet struggling at its base, generates an intensity that is remarkably powerful.

“Indeed, I felt a sense of sadness all through that episode,” commented a third person. “Certainly, he should face imprisonment, yet he appeared sincerely remorseful and potentially capable of reform someday. A 109-year sentence was harsh, but maybe the judge aimed to deliver a strong warning.

But some people are clear about their views on the matter, such as this individual who stated, “He’s an intelligent man who rightfully belongs in his current position.

In my perspective, they chose to spotlight the individual managing the eatery to underscore the fact that nurture from such surroundings can lead to triumph. However, it’s important to note that Saxon, unfortunately, didn’t seem to possess the ability to achieve the same success.
