Disturbing on every level and very fascinating! I love learning about the 7 sins. Gluttony is a devastating one especially when people don't care about their health, Envy is odd, I understand it but at the same time I don't too. I definitely have strong opinions for the first 2, Lust I wish I could relate to it I don't, Wrath I probably have that sin inside me, Pride is crazy, Sloth I have that one too, and greed is the most effed up one. I'm sure a large part of the population is greedy! Excellent documentary series hosted by Morgan Spurlock!

I started watching this because I thought it might be interesting, but agree with another reviewer that the vignettes did not seem appropriate. The envy episode featured a company that sells latex skins to men who want to feel and look like a woman and another story about a man who uses a wheelchair because he identifies as disabled. Neither or these really had anything to do with envy, particularly in the context of sin. People who want or feel the need to be different than they are may or may not be envious of those who are that way, but neither of these stories even mentioned that. I was disappointed by this series.

If one wants to exploit the 7 deadly sins format, one has to be consistent. This production seemed to be a hodge podge of interesting and weird vignettes that were mostly erroneous misfiled or didn't even belong there. For instance they had these weird latex female skin suits made by some family for various sorts, but that was under "Pride". Or this canned hunting ranch in Texas that also breeds African animals to shoot like impalas. Whatever your thoughts are on these sort of set ups, this story doesn't belong under "Greed". Why he put internet remote sex under "Sloth", not "Lust" is baffling too. What is baffling the most is the first one, "Gluttony". Spurlock broke into the public with his "Supersize Me" documentary. But this just exploits the subject, not educate people. It would have been better for him and Showtime to just have a regular series of his about weird and novel trends.
