Trahison chez les mormons: Le faussaire assassin

At first I thought, geez this case is so old, I don't care ... and then I couldn't turn it off. The murderer is as cold-blooded as Ted Bundy. Watch for the photos at the end. 😮

This is a well presented, insightful three part series into the crimes of one man, and how he nearly rocked the Mormon Church to it's very core.

This series gathers momentum, and gets more and more dramatic, and shocking with every episode. Part three contains some pretty incredible insights into what must have been a very disturbed mind.

It does make you wonder what documents exist out there.

Some fascinating interviews, clips, and interesting news interviews, it's amazing how manipulative some people can be, and how people simply didn't want to believe what was going on under their very eyes.

These events were unknown to me, I also know very little about The Mormon Church. The first half of Part one gives you an insight into its origins.

It's an interesting look at the polygraph test, it reinforces why it's not admissable in The UK I guess, it can clearly be beaten.

I didn't remember this incident until I started watching it, then it clicked; something about a Mormon civil war (which would probably be a pretty cool thing to watch). I thought it was a pretty good doc. Being only 3 episodes long I found it to be just about right and not slow or boring at all. If it was any longer it probably would have been, but I didn't find that the case at all. It was thorough and everyone who could be interviewed was included except for the diabolical genius perpetrator. There is definitely something seriously wrong with that knucklehead. All in all It was pretty good and quite short but informative, which is a rarity for Netflix.

I will call this a big overview of a very dark and horrific act that I had either not known of or remembered. It is a big event as the intersection of terrorism and The Mormon Church. I learned a good bit and I always kept feeling something, perhaps important, regarding the story was missing. I kept coming back to feeling I was trying to "over-think" this thing. This was a simple case of greed and narcisicm gone to a unthinkable level. I think the doc could have been more revealing and more in-depth since it was three installments. Still I was interested. BTW Mark Hoffman's voice is not right...something is way off when you process his voice. He is a total psychopath filled with something quite dark and he got by cloaking it for way too long.

A short three piece documentary that was actually pretty wild. The documentary style had a great flow and use of archival footage. Pairing current and old interviews with the same subjects was interesting. The doc gave just enough background on Mormon history and documents to get you up to speed but not overwhelm. An unexpected conclusion.
