On Becoming a God in Central Florida

Excellent series with an extraordinary Kristen Dunst, I love this actress of a magnificent talent who raises the whole series, an excellent screenplay and a nice sarcastic vision of money. A black sarcastic comedy, where we laugh in certain situations and we see the underlying plot on the dramatic side, the whole is very coherent and with this main actress who shines there, she alone ignites the whole series.

This is the best dark comedy I've seen in years. The whole cast is phenomenal, the characters feel so natural! After the mixed reviews I read on here, I reluctantly gave it a try and in the end, I was very positively surprised. Kirsten Dunst is at her best, honestly didn't expect this much. The show does have some crazy dark comedy scenes that are there to be crazy, which I'm not too fond of in movies, but even those were done in an original way. Binged on it, waiting for the second season!

If you like Fargo the TV series, you should enjoy this show. While not quite as over the top as Fargo, it does capture the craziness of Florida as well as the pseudo-religious fervor and false hopes that MML schemes engender. At first I thought I could predict the direction the series was going to take but by Episode 3, Kirsten Dunst's character makes a decision that sets up a more delicious plotline. The characters are eccentric but still believable and the actors are great. I cannot wait to see how this funny, dark, bizarre and very American story progresses.

A great start to the series about an early 90's mother determined to thrive despite her late husband's ties to a pyramid scam. Kirsten Dunst and cast are dynamic and the script & setting is so far a winner. In my personal opinion Dunst is a fantastic actress and I'll watch just about anything she's in. Despite being passed over for her phenomenal performance in Fargo here she is again nailing yet another role. I'm hoping this show continues to deliver because I am hooked to see what unfolds next for her character. And yes I will be very suprised if she is not nominated and given her long awaited & well deserved Emmy win. Watch the show. You will not be disappointed.

So many conversations in this show brought back memories of being involved with a multi-level marketing company. It rang so true with the ridiculous motivational recordings and the up-line sponsor pushing you to quit your job and spend more money with the MLM even though you are already massively in debt because of it. And of course the spline sponsor only being concerned with the royalties they will lose if you quit while pretending to be concerned about you.

Brings back memories of all the people I knew who looked, and acted, successful on stage talking about the MLM business opportunity, yet in their real lives they were dead broke and about to lose their homes and marriages.

The MLM motto of, "Fake it, till you make it!" was definitely shown in this show.
