Trahison chez les mormons: Le faussaire assassin

This is a well presented, insightful three part series into the crimes of one man, and how he nearly rocked the Mormon Church to it's very core.

This series gathers momentum, and gets more and more dramatic, and shocking with every episode. Part three contains some pretty incredible insights into what must have been a very disturbed mind.

It does make you wonder what documents exist out there.

Some fascinating interviews, clips, and interesting news interviews, it's amazing how manipulative some people can be, and how people simply didn't want to believe what was going on under their very eyes.

These events were unknown to me, I also know very little about The Mormon Church. The first half of Part one gives you an insight into its origins.

It's an interesting look at the polygraph test, it reinforces why it's not admissable in The UK I guess, it can clearly be beaten.

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.

A short three piece documentary that was actually pretty wild. The documentary style had a great flow and use of archival footage. Pairing current and old interviews with the same subjects was interesting. The doc gave just enough background on Mormon history and documents to get you up to speed but not overwhelm. An unexpected conclusion.

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.

I didn't remember this incident until I started watching it, then it clicked; something about a Mormon civil war (which would probably be a pretty cool thing to watch). I thought it was a pretty good doc. Being only 3 episodes long I found it to be just about right and not slow or boring at all. If it was any longer it probably would have been, but I didn't find that the case at all. It was thorough and everyone who could be interviewed was included except for the diabolical genius perpetrator. There is definitely something seriously wrong with that knucklehead. All in all It was pretty good and quite short but informative, which is a rarity for Netflix.
