Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath Audience Reviews

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
j-morris-559-855773 I can't understand how religious people can believe in anything that has zero evidence and defies any sense of logic.So all religions are silly and have no basis in reality and that's fine if it floats your boat and you don't try to impose it or its beliefs on others.However this show so clearly shows the incredible systematic physical, emotional, sexual and financial abuse of members. Some of the stories in the interviews are enough to bring a grown man to tears. While the catholic church is the biggest paedophile factory in the world I don't think that management tried to achieve this. The show clearly shows how Scientology is so clearly set up as a ponzi scheme by a man who was a convicted fraudster. The abuse of children is so wide spread it is gob smacking that no authorities seem to have the guts to smash it to pieces. Even the IRS buckled and ran away from forcing them to pay tax due to them threatening IRS employees.The show is a must watch for all families with teenagers so they can be warned of the dangers of cults.What I just cannot fathom is adults who get sucked into it and then allow the cult to abuse their children.A really harrowing watch. It works well as it is based on personal interviews rather than sensationalised elements or reenactments.
mariehaley This show is making history. I await the day when the FBI watches it and wakes up and stops this CULT from committing crimes. Excellent show. Very informative and educational. They are doing a wonderful thing by exposing this awful cult. It is done very professional and you find you can't wait for the next episode. I give this a 10 out of 10.
elizrug Leah Remini is so honest and genuine in her pursuit of exposing the truth about this evil organization. Mike Rinder is also amazing, giving insight to the activities that he took part in. You can tell when a show is scripted and this one definitely isn't--just look at Mike Rinder's face when he listens to harrowing accounts of former Scientology members.The crime of Scientology needs to be seriously investigated by the FBI and Interpol. They are harming people who are brainwashed and too afraid to leave or to speak out.Thank you to Leah, Mike and every other person who contributed to the making of this series.
industrialwonk 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.
