Cercasi disperatamente anima gemella

Overall pretty good content. Better than the Netflix one I think. Although I watched this after the Netflix docuseries. But I can't listen to the main reporter presenter. At times it's way too nasal and like high school talk. Takes away from credibility. It seems like it was amateur reporting.

Otherwise good content although at times one sided. Didn't seem to show a neutral view from the presenter's side, the best part is when wintnesses spoke.

It's hard to know where to start with this... much like Deep Impact and Armageddon of old we had two projects release at once about the same thing. I plumped with Prime and you get three fairly aimless episodes of Alice Hines making a bit of a "quest" out of exposing these two awful frauds. What they preside over and their general personalities are enough for interesting telly but as we drifted towards a conclusion I did start to wonder how manipulative this sort of trashy little PrimeDoc itself was. There's a lot of reconstruction stuff which always feels leading, the way it made out like the central figure was dead the whole time and bits of it which focussed on the family & friends of Super Jesus and make-up lady were quite uncomfortable for all the wrong reasons. I mean the consequences of what they do are genuinely very serious and it feels like this wasn't... really helping.

This garbage wasted 3 hours of my time. So little content has been stretched into 3 hours. Many meaning less talking. The so called cult is such small group that is not worthy to be reported. This is no story here. There is no crime here. No drama. No twist. No surprise. The two leading roles are not worthy to be called "cult leader". They don't have any charisma, which is pretty essential to be a cult leader. They don't have intelligent. Their followers are obviously not smart. Kind of below average. There are big robberies out there, while you report on petty theft. Why? I can feel the carelessness of the makers of this TV series. They just want throw in all the trashy footages they have to make it three hours long and get paid.

The whole documentary could have been done in an hour. By making it almost three hours the implication is that this is going to be an epic story with lots of twists and turns.

No twists and turns, but a lot of self-pity in this the same old story of people making a fortune off of others' vulnerabilities.

Other than a few modern day spins to the story you won't find anything new here.

The talking head experts offer no new insights and all sound like school children doing book reports.

The lead reporter on the case, Alice Hines, has this valley girl "up-speak" delivery that is really annoying. She didn't exactly do any rigorous reporting since all the tapes were there for her to see.

Some of the victim's stories are very touching, so that warrants 2 of the 10 stars.

But basically, this is another spin on the "Compliance" type scam where people so gullible (and even stupid) fall for another charlatan.

Says more about the dumbing down of our society then the motives of a con man.

Make no mistake; the true driving force behind this cretinous twosome is Shaleia/Megan, the meek and mild wifey. Truly Machiavellian and deadly. Jeff is the more passive of the two, despite his alpha dog bluster.

The residents of the bucolic small Northern Michigan town they have infested are appalled and dismayed by their presence. Many local and state police complaints have been lodged against them with no consequences so far. I do think that while they're canny and manipulative, they're not intelligent enough to maintain their Teflon existence and will someday trip up and fail. They need to be in prison.
