About
You may like this if you’re drawn to slow-burning, real-life stories about cults and manipulation, especially if titles like The Program: Cons, Cults, and Kidnapping or Telemarketers appeal to you; Not for you if you want a brisk, straightforward watch.
Pros: exposes the group; insider perspective; unsettling real-life story | Cons: feels sensationalized; too much introspection; frustrating people onscreen
