The Worst Film Ever

I'll tell you why so serious

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I was OK with the first season until the same mantra and stories about the cult was "brought to our attention" the second season. All this have been done by SVT and the BBC already. Some are even old news.It sometimes felt like they even enjoyed talking about it. Not interested to listen to a broken record. I am not even interested to spoil my time watching this complete waste of time.

The interviews are an astounding revelation about the depth of the cult of Scientology and recent changes to it's leadership and the celebrities who belong, especially Tom Cruise who participates and promotes this monster of an organization. I wish there was more information on how the cult recruits new members through 'self improvement' courses. Taking even the 1st basic course is very dangerous for people who are not very self aware and strong willed as even at the beginning cult members start breaking down the will of independence of recruits, people just off of the street, etc., often with people crying in public, yelling and humiliation during study sessions, and a hook of not letting people complete the initial course unless they have signed up for the 2nd course in advance and so on it goes with recruits paying out cash to the cult. When the Scientology cult members running the programs take a communal dinner break on site, recruits have time to discover the anti LGBTQ books written by cult members that are for sale from the cult library. You meet people who came for summer vacation to see the USA and ended up spending all of their money on Scientology courses because they were not strong enough to stand up to the brainwashing tactics of the Scientology cult. It's long past time that this criminal cult be investigated by Federal and State authorities and it's tax exempt status be revoked. It's time to get Congress and the Senate involved investigating this cancer on American society and note that this cult is outlawed in some countries. That this action is needed is made clear from this excellent program headed by Leah Remini and the brave people she interviews who have survived and escaped Scientology often emotionally and financially damaged and often estranged from friends and family remaining in the cult. Leah being a former cult member who was deep into the organization allows people the time to share their stories as a warning against Scientology.

Leah Remini does a very good job, and a real public service, in describing "Scientology Gone Bad." What is most unfortunate here is that, based on his writings, L. Ron Hubbard very well understood the issues and concerns that humanity would need to face in the future. To me, Hubbard formulated a set of ideals that Scientology as an institution seems to have abandoned. In his book "Mission Earth," Hubbard talked about the evils of "public relations," and other forms of institutionalized conduct used to support racketeering that may result (if unchecked) in the self destruction of the earth and of mankind. He then went on to offer a set of solution points. How laudable is that? VeryHubbard was incredibly predictive and incredibly astute in understanding why and how our current social system works. He even predicted that pandering to sexual deviance would be used as a mechanism of control and distraction. Hubbard was an absolute genius. Based on example, Remini describes Scientology gone bad; perhaps Remini will be able to bring reform towards Hubbards laudable set of ideals.

This show proves Ms Leah Remini is my hero! She is brave enough to speak out against this Cult even though they harass her and try to silence her talking with former members of the organization about the abuses that go on inside. I am a former Scientologist and I can say that all the accounts from the people interviews are horrifying but all true 100%. I was in the Sea Org and was a Scientology and I know it to be true. I saw it! Ms Remini is a bad a$$ woman who is a strong fighter like myself who is brave and its time to bring this organization DOWN! Thank you Mike Rinder for your dedication to speaking out with Leah about your experiences and doing something about it to change! You guys are both my heroes! I look forward to a second season and I hope you get those Lawyers to do something about it!-Jen
