Hands down one of the best documentaries I have seen in a very very long time. My heart bleeds for those poor people who managed to escape. America seriously needs to consider reforming their religion policies. The documentary is detailed and full of information. Each episode is very good. Not one episode did my mind wander off. She manages to keep you glued to the screen to the very end. Every time an episode ends I cant wait for the next one. Even if you are not a documentary person you will enjoy this! Well done A&E, Leah Remini and all the people involved for giving the public a top quality documentary exposing these scientology fraudsters!
A truly impactful series that all should watch, regardless of religious background or belief.
This series exposes what occurs when a radical cult, and that is fundamentally what Scientology is, grows and morphs into a billion dollar industry.
Whereas Waco, and many others,eventually suffocated under gunfire and casualties, Scientology appears exempt from the reach of both US taxation and legislative arms.
Leah Remini, after three decades as a loyal and devout Scientology member, now relentlessly campaigns against the religion, interviewing many former high ranking Scientologists that have escaped its clutches.
Disturbing, emotional, frustrating and deeply engaging; watch it and learn.

All who watched this series must be ENRAGED! It's a DISGUSTING TRAVESTY/CRIME that the GOV'T, not only continues to give them TAX EXEMPT status, but hasn't SHUT THIS CULT DOWN!!!! WHO'S BEING PAID OFF ????? Does Scientology have DIRT on the IRS ??? We should ALL call our Congress and Senate Representatives, as well as local authorities and STOP the ABUSE and UTTER DESTRUCTION of the lives of all of the CHILDREN and ADULTS, who are caught in Scientology's Web of TORTURE!!!
PURE EVIL !!!
PURE EVIL !!!
Love this program...what I can't understand is WHY do soooo many people become involved with this fairytale business??? They need to be totally shutdown!
I used to think Scientology was extremely intriguing and fascinating and spent way too many hours of my life checking it out, reading about it, and reading a rather large & glossy Scientology primer I had found at Chapters, and then ultimately dipping my toes into it in the form of one of their cheapest and lowest level communication courses. Although I didn't know any Scientologists, the whole idea of organizing, quantifying, and mapping out "the path" to "enlightenment" really appealed to me. However, after doing my due diligence, and reading A LOT on the subject, I finally decided it was not for me and didn't even finish that first communication course.
That was when I got my own personal taste of what Scientology is really like. I began getting bombarded with calls from members of the local org encouraging me to come finish the course. At first, I would politely put them off telling them I no longer had the time to come in, then that I was no longer interested in Scientology. When the calls continued (for years), I got more short with them and told them clearly to stop calling and to remove me from their contact lists. At one point, they told me it wasn't possible to remove me from their contact lists, and that's when I really knew this whole thing is INSANE!!! I just hope that, as Rinder says in Episode 2, that the whole thing just implodes on itself when the world finally wakes up from the delusion that is Scientology. THANK YOU FOR THIS EXPOSÉ!!!
