Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult

Netflix True Crime docuseries are usually well done and are great. This one was missing something for me.

I do not have tik toc and was unfamiliar with all of the dancing that takes place on that social media platform. I also never heard of the Shekinah cult or the 7M Managemebt Company. So I was interested in learning more.

I watched all of the series and I feel I do not know that much about the Shekinah Cult. I was expecting to learn much more. It appears they are doing a good job at keeping the inter-workings of their cult secretive.

Only a few former cult members are interviewed and they don't share that much information.

If you want to watch a true crime series without paying attention and multi-tasking then this show is one to watch.

Wow, this one was totally binge-worthy! "Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult" is an engaging and informative Netflix documentary that dives into the unsettling world of a management firm with ties to a church. The story follows TikTok dancers as they join the firm and uncover disturbing truths about the founders' sinister agenda. The documentary kept us hooked from start to finish with its compelling storytelling and shocking revelations about how easily vulnerable people can be manipulated.

The damage inflicted by these greedy individuals, who see themselves above God, is both alarming and heartbreaking. As we learn more about their grooming tactics, it's clear that we need to reassess what is allowed to happen to vulnerable people in our society. This is a must-watch for anyone who loves cult documentaries, as it provides a thorough and chilling look at the lengths some will go to exploit others for their gain.

As many people point out, the story is too short to be made into a series, if it was an 1 hour and half documentary it would have been a lot more consistent. The story is necessary to be told, I myself didn't know about it, and it's hard to understand how people subject them selves to this kind of cult, particularly Miranda, who looked like had everything, a supportive family,a loving sister. Why she would abandoned them and everything to live with a crazy old man with a history of abuse, it's hard to understand.

I agree that people have the right to choose their own paths, even to follow crazy religions , but if there are evidences of sexual assault, as it seems to be the case here, so there should be intervention and investigation, because there are victims. Many victims of sexual abuse don't get away of it because they are too afraid, or because they are threatened, so this is when the police should take a step, which doesn't seem to be the case here. At least they show as if the police couldn't care less about the situation, which is really sad The worst from this miniseries is how they put aside the most serious case involving the cult, the Korean sisters who were actually abused, the series show a little or almost nothing of what happened to them or others like them and this is really frustrating Miranda's sister seem to be the one who suffers more, I really feel sorry for her, and I agree that the parents must not ignore the facts only to be able to see Miranda a little while every year. Miranda's time with the parents at the end is clearly completely superficial, you can see how uncomfortable she is, and how everything seems fake, and her sister is the only one who seems to understand this. All we can hope for is that one day this evil leader may be punished, so he won't hurt anyone else.

Typical Netflix doc.

First episode is interesting, telling a tale of the TicTok dance craze phenomenon that kids seem so entranced by, personally I don't get it, but the story is about the manipulation by a "Man Of God" who in the time honoured tradition of presenting himself as an artist's manager and Christian church leader proceeds to rip off his young artists/followers.

After the first episode it just starts to drag out people's stories over the next 2 episodes, with no particular resolution. I guess they're rather hoping that eventually there'll be enough for a follow up further 2 or 3 episodes. This could have been a succinct 1 hour, 8 star programme, however as it is, it's a bloated 5 stars, tops.

I've just finished this series of three episodes which I initially found interesting, I think it's great to uncover stories like this and the interviewees were incredibly brave for speaking out. But... episode two and three didn't take the story much further or resolve anything and there was a lot more filler that went off point. I wish the editors had just summed it all up in one longer episode, three episodes was totally unnecessary and a bit disrespectful of viewers time. Please Netflix - if the story doesn't go anywhere then cut it down! Stop trying to make a series when there simply isn't the content for a series.
