Sacred Lies

Season one was amazing! I wanted the same story to continue into the second season. Knowing that it didn't I was skeptical, but I am a huge fan of Juliette Lewis so I started watching season two this morning because she is in it and it is just as amazing. It is so sad that not many people know about this show, it's that good, for real. I am leaving a review just so it has more feedback in hopes more people give it a chance. Do yourself a favor!

A very underrated series with a better everything in its first season (8-9 episodes could have been tighter) and a hugely melodramatic, though touching second one (around 6-7 episodes would have told the story in a more marvelous way without endless song loops and chases). Nevertheless, at around 30 minutes per episode, the show has one of the best acting (main and supporting cast), flow, vibe, editing and ending for each one and out there, in the world of TV productions, notwithstanding the seasons.

I repeat, that's a very underrated series, deserves way more watching and as it's an anthology series, it definitely deserves at least potential seasons 3 and 4. Highly recommended.

From all the actors and actresses, Elena Kampouris just shone in it.

(i would have given the show a 10 if it wasnt for the fact that it had a 2nd season that has nothing to do with s1, which i wont watch.)

anyone who wants a short rev: its about cults and how they affect ppl, its about abuse and life in prison for underaged girls. The pace is great and the season has no loose ends imo.

The writing and character.. revelation more than development is outstanding imo. I have watched tons of documentaries about cults, racism and the psychology behind it as well as prison-life and the principles of justice and questionable effectiveness of crimepunishment around the world...

this show taps into all those issues without straight answers. I am relly not able to sum it up.

It is a show about the psychology of human needs, of what feeling powerless means, of the search to the question everybody has: why?

I usually dont write reviews and am no native speaker, but: this show seems to be so underrated (or simply not known. I am an addict when it comes to shows with any element of suspense and this had a horrortag, so i couldnt believe i never heard of it till yesterday).

I only watched the first season and since a scientology member is playing a big role in season 2, thats all i will watch. But thats ok, it is a coplete series.

This entire series takes place in Montana, but every scene is in the summer? I know for a fact MT gets snow from September- sometimes June!

I enjoyed this series very much. It moved along at a good pace as well. It didn't seem to be painfully drug out as some series are in order to get more episodes in, as well.
