Omicidio tra i mormoni

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. 😮

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.

The pacing and editing in this true crime documentary is what made it interesting and compelling. Intertwining the archival footage with present day interviews was done well. However I particularly enjoyed the discovery and science of the motive, and appreciated the series took the time to explain how it was accomplished.

Fascinating story, well told.

Utilizing extensive present day interviews with people directly involved; and plenty of archival footage and news broadcasts, the film takes a very detailed look at a truly unbelievable crime. The editing is great.

I was entertained all the way through. There's not a bunch of filler, and the episodes fly by. If you tend to enjoy this kind of content, or true crime, then this series should be very enjoyable for you.

When it comes to religion, all rational and critical thinking must be abandoned. They wanted to believe so much, they never truly questioned the miraculousness of how 1 person could be in a position of a Genie bottle to make your wish come true.

What else has been forged into our history and how has that shaped our way of thinking?

Seeing the clip of the Pastor on TV confirming the history of Mormanism via a forged document was priceless.

Nevertheless, Hoffman was a brilliant mind and a savage.
