Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

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

This is by far one of the best documentaries I have seen in a long time. It is highly emotional, informative and a in depth look into the inner workings of this organisation. These stories are not narrated but told by the victims themselves and by the former senior members who have now quit. This documentary takes on a life of its own. Hearing story after story driving the hosts to do more and more to stop this organisation from causing more damage.

I don't really trust Leah Remini because of her holly wood (SIC) roots. There are some suspicious voice-overs with camera cuts to avoid lip sync problems and that is not cool when it comes to exposing criminals like Scientologists.I think "Mike Rinder" should spend some time in prison for his part in harassing so-called "SP's." Did he EVER try to make financial amends for disrupting any of their lives or even apologize to ANY of them?Having said that, I think the Church of Scientology should be shut down by any means necessary and their leaders executed.At least look for petitions to make them pay taxes. That should curtail their activities for awhile. More thrifty covert activities like background/credit checks on former members. And less money for garbage mail.

While I was watching this show, I couldn't help asking: "What about other cults?" As a "former cult member" (believe me, it is not easy to start referring to myself like this! I, too, believed I was saving the world!), I see almost all the mechanisms and symptoms of brainwashing and mind control that I experienced myself while in a cult. And there's another thing. Scientology seems to be taking a lot of money from people, but that cannot be its main motivation. I think their belief system, sense of purpose and, of course, the intoxicating power over other human beings are the thing that fuels these structures. Another former member of my cult wrote something like this: - Without it, you're just nothing. You can sit by the road and cry.I think it would be interesting and useful to compare other cults to Scientology and see what are those human needs they respond to.Scientology is not at all the only one.

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
