Television Netflix - The Family

[fingercuffs]

I didn't know where to put this being it's partly religious and partly crime/politics but I'm mainly wanting to discuss the merit of the documentary and book which it stems from.

Has anyone watched it or read the book? The documentary (even for me who watches every cult documentary there is) was a tough slog so I've saved the last two episodes till next week but I'm all the way down the rabbit hole with the book.

Oh man, I wanted to watch that but never did, gonna add it to my queue right now
Thanks, G

Just looked it up, looks like its up my alley so to speak. Will check it out this week and report back. Cheers.

I like documentaries but if you're saying it's been a tough slog to get where you are then I'll never make it.

I've noticed that everyone wants their documentary to be a series now, when many of their stories could be told in a 90 minute movie.

Yea, Netflix wants them docs to be drawn out to bulk up their viewing minutes and it always leads to whole episodes of filler and the same point being made over and over again

Gotta tighten that shit up, G

@Pliny Pete @Meatspin if you get into it, I bought the book second hand on EBay for $5 inc delivery.

When I say tough slog I mean the facts that are being spewed. It's like The Heritage Foundation documentary on steroids. It's compelling, not boring hard slog.

Ohh, I dunno. If I see a cult documentary like the polygamy one I watched recently on Hulu with 10 episodes I get tingles I'm so excited.

aaand what's that called?

Secrets of Polygamy. It covers the FLDS which I've seen everything going of and The Kingston Family The Order.
The investigator grew up in the LDS and is an ex cop who ex members turn to to try and rescue their kids who have been repurposed through sex trafficking/child brides.

Ok that's next on the list then.

Let me know your thoughts, the investigator and his wife are great people. I bought one of Warren Jeffs's daughters books as a result of watching it. And one of The Kingston's daughter's book.

Lol , my wife and I were just discussing that so many of the shows that are 6 episodes should really be done in 4 or so as we get bored of the TV folks dragging things out and trying to pad the series out ...

I think documentaries are a bit different, I really don't want to get half a story.

You remember the Netflix (?) documentary about the woman who lived in some dodgy hotel ( LA?) and ended up disappearing and they eventually found her body in the water tank in the roof ?

It was discussed on here a lot iirc . I see what you mean about half a story , there was loads that was left out of that documentary .

Nice result today BTW, 5-1.

Neither one of them can read.

I do. I just want all the facts. I know I'm a true crime/cult addict hence all the books I've been buying and running out of cult documentaries.

The Jill Dando doc is on my list too.

When I was in Farnborough I watched this weird Jesus of Siberia doc and then ended up watching all the Scientology stuff. Probably a hundred docs I'm running out so buying actual books, lol.

Then you shouldn't be watching most docs. For the most part they are made to get across a point of veiw the doc maker has set in their head before filming and they just cut them together to confirm that theory. Look at making a murderer and how one soded it is, hell I would say that the whole doc is less than half the story. That doc was a complete joke and completely full of shit yet tons of people thought Avery was the victim of a conspiracy.

I haven't watched it, but I've watched pretty much all the cult docs but I do my own research as well. I'm pretty invested hence buying the books from the daughters of FLDS and The Order stuff. There was a FLDS doc I started watching the other day that seemed rehearsed so I turned it off, I'm quite the seasoned viewer when it comes to this stuff.

 

[Wilmer Digreux]

i watch things, too.

Love listening to the audio.
