The Deep End

6 stars at least to the filmmakers for sure. It's well-paced and written... but the story? I don't know how I can make it through the rest of the season.

Like the previous reviewer stated this is another con-woman (Teal Swan?) with enough charisma to start a cult. Yes, this is definitely a cult. I didn't know this cult existed until watching this, and I feel for the followers involved.

She makes fun of all of the other "spiritual gurus" but you guys... there is LITERALLY a scene where she is talking about who her disciples should be... while sitting in a hot tub. I can't, I just can't.

A seriously engaging documentary. I thought I'd check out the first episode and I ended up binging the entire thing in one afternoon. Each episodes shows a more ghastly side of Teal Swan than the previous one.

This person is a perfect example of someone who's been drinking too much of their own Kool-aid for too long.

She's abusive, controlling, vindictive, and disdainful. Whenever I see a doc like this I have to wonder how these followers come to lose all common sense and value in themselves.

Swan makes it her full-time job (and full-time grift) to make you feel as badly about yourself as possible. And her entire business model depends on people feeling badly about themselves.

Exploiting people in pain and people in need will always be a profitable business for some.

I really enjoyed this documentary! During the first episode, I thought of Teal as a Tony Robbins-type motivational speaker type. By the end, I thought she was an absolute sociopath. Great documentary!

Her childhood bff did an episode of the Mormon stories podcast were she talked about Teals manipulative habits from a young age. Highly recommend. There's a way to define and measure a cult. Teal Swan is running a cult. She checks EVERY box. This doc is shot so well, it feels like a drama film. It's very engaging - I have a pretty small attention span and this kept me glued to the screen. Of course, it's cut together in a way to push a heavier tone, but don't let that distract you from the facts they are presenting. You can tell the filmmakers really wanted you to see the red flags - but I think that's what they should've done it considering SHES RUNNING A CULT IN 2022. It's worth your time to watch this!! Stay informed!! She's doing exactly what Jim Jones, David Koresh, Keith Raniere, and. L. Ron Hubbard all did.

This is one of the grimmest and most dangerous cult leaders out there IMO since she promotes suicide and seem incredibly mentally disturbed herself, but is charismatic enough to draw many others in.

Bosworth claims to have been part of a "Mormon Satanic cult" and been repeatedly raped as a child, even sewn up inside a dead body. Besides the lurid bigotry, her claims will obviously draw in many who were abused, as well as cause many to overlook the ridiculousness and falseness of what she says. There are no violent Satanic cults. That's been constantly debunked by the FBI every year since the early 80s.

Quite a few sites out there devoted to debunking her and warning others.

jessicaschab I was contacted by Cameron Clark, a former follower of Teal who had lived with her and was very traumatized by her experience. Among many things, Teal Swan tried to talk her into committing suicide....
