Netflix True Crime Show Causes Trouble for Innocent Church

Fans of the new Netflix docuseries Death of the Pastor’s Wife are reacting strongly to the show. Unfortunately, the popularity of the series has led to some unintended consequences for a congregation in Conway, South Carolina called Mercy Baptist Church.

Many viewers of the show have incorrectly assumed that this specific church is connected to pastor John Paul Miller and the church in Myrtle Beach featured in the documentary. Because of this mix up, the innocent congregation in Conway has been hit with a wave of angry phone calls, emails, and hostile social media comments.

It is a tough situation for the church members who have nothing to do with the events portrayed on screen. Hopefully, viewers will take a second to check their facts before sending messages to the wrong people, as this series continues to keep the public focused on the real events.
