I was eager to watch this documentary because of the news coverage of this cult and because it was a HBO production. However, I was very disappointed with both content and presentation, and consider this a big waste of time because excessive time allocated to the self-serving, attention seeking musings and babblings of Sarah Edmonson and Catherine Oxenberg, as opposed to some of the more "real" victims who were more directly and severely impacted by Keith Ranierie, such as Toni Natalie or Barbara Bouchey. Whatever little was presented about Keith R's origin and motivations came way later in around episode 5-6.
This series did not need to be have 8 episodes. Whatever interesting it had could have been presented in 2 -3 episodes.
