VividSimon Simply Perfect
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
crushmonkey In a time where Americans are overwhelmingly disbelieving or outright ignorant of the fact that polygamy and child marriage are still an issue here, I applaud a major network willing to take on the topic.As a former Kingston Group member, I am pragmatic enough to understand that not having professional actors involved would likely beg the arrangement of scripted scenes in order to achieve a level of ratings to keep the network interested in continuing the series.I feel so strongly that this is one of the only options left for raising awareness and exposing wrongs left by society and the State to continue and fester for so long.I don't care if these women are getting paid for their stories or activities. Good for them if they are. I don't care if some of the situations seem like 'bad acting' because you're dealing with a group of people who are overwhelmingly taught to subvert or misdirect their emotions in the first place, for their WHOLE LIVES. Don't be surprised if their response to a situation isn't what someone never involved or having had the experience would expect. How unfair is it to project your own emotional expectations upon a whole society of emotional cripples? People are leaving bad reviews because the show isn't immersing them to their own ideal expectations and entertaining them to their heart's content, when, as a retired actor, I feel it should be highlighted that in order to do so, you'd firstly need professional actors to convey those situations, and Hollywood sets, directors, etc. By circumventing all that and indulging in some scripting/coaching when necessary, the network is doing their best to please both their shareholders and consumers. There is no way to please them both equally so the network walks the middle ground.Which I have no problem with. As a former Order member, who has seen Kingston family members give their court statements or press releases, yet where the voices of any dissenters are consistently silenced, why be surprised when people turn to the venue of network television to get their story told? 10 out of 10 for the simple fact of raising awareness. The fact that people are debating the veracity of the show on IMDb means that there is more awareness today because of the show than there was without it.

kdhart-62938 I love this show! I think the girls are doing a wonderful thing for these brain washed cult members. The people they help seek them out.. Not the other way around. The girls just give them options and help them get started in the real world and provide emotional support along the way. I think it is disgusting what these polygamist men do to these young girls. Everyone knows that all of these men have had sexual relations with little girls.. Why have they not been arrested??? They should be in prison with Warren Jeffs!! Keep up the good work girls!!!! You are doing a great thing!
Syl Believe it or not, polygamy is still happening in America. This program shows how three sisters from polygamy help others escape Kingston clan, a subset of The Mormons. Bill Kurtis did an episode about the Kingstons and their secretive order. The Kingstons are like the FLDS but without prairie dresses. The Kingstons are a dangerous sect run by men who marry young girls to old men without a choice. If I was one of these girls, I would run as fast as I can. One of the girls had $60,000 in a Kingston Bank and they would only let her take $5,000 at most. The sister escaped to Seattle where another sister attends law school. The Kingston clan has already sent somebody to Seattle to bring her home. The Kingston clan is a cult of many secrets like the FLDS.
