Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

reddawn329 The characters are pretty much the cliche LA actors trying to make it successfully in Hollywood. But the stories & themes running through each episode as these characters reveal themselves to the audience are dynamic. Some are very unique as the storyline slowly introduces IHN and how it operates. There are several programs like IHN in the USA and abroad & the writers pull from them I assume. It's refreshing to have such a unique storyline. Each character's backstory is revealed slowly & as I'm binging s2, there is so much more depth to these people. The suspense, lies, & passion of these characters are even better than s1. I'm only half way through but I hope they go on for s3. I saw the titles of the remaining episodes so I think I know what's to come but something tells me that there will be more & I'll be surprised. I didn't really know the 2 main actors. I was drawn to the show bc I'm a huge Michael Vartan fan! Loved that Lexa Doig from Aurora Teagarden series movies on HMM was also in a main role. Now, I know all these other amazing actresses & actors. If you have the opportunity to binge this show from the beginning.... do it! I like how the show writers really move the story along. Between each show is often a time jump of a few weeks or months. But you aren't left wondering what happened in between tho bc the story just moves right along. Kudos to the cast & crew! My little hypothesis on the origin or inspiration for this plot line....loosely based on Tom Cruise & "S'logy"?!?!?! I've heard the rumors that he had a 10 year contract with NK to keep him as the dreamy actor we all loved in the 80-90s when all the rumors about his sexuality & etc started showing up in the tabloids. Their union boosted her career & gave him cover. Note, they adopted children but after divorcing had kids of their own with their next spouses. Just a thought. He then went off the rails as he continued with "S'logy" then all of a sudden he's jumping on Oprah's couch smitten with Katie. My poor "Joey", Katie. She was pulled in & I often think of what Meagan is going through & wonder how Katie got herself out etc. Don't get me wrong, I love Tom Cruise and majority of his movies. I am really excited for the Maverick movie next summer. But I was honestly not attracted to him, like swooning over him as a teen etc. He has just been in so many amazing movies that became blockbuster hits. This show is nothing like his life but there are some similarities. I also think of EST, then Landmark Forum, now just Landmark I think. I attended Landmark forums & classes in 2014. They were pretty amazing but financially I couldn't continue to hang with them! :) But I did gain from the weekends & courses & learned a lot about myself. Just how the characters are clearly benefiting. I can see the up sides & down sides of IHN. It's tough to know if Terrance is sincere or completely shady! Maybe both. I'm intrigued enough to keep watching. If you are still reading, thanks for sticking with my rambling.

colleencriswell To me it feels like it is based on Tom And Katie.... the cult like group controlling everything is similar to Scientology, the whole thing is very familiar to the tabloid stories.

Christmas Cookies59 "The Institute Of The Higher Mind" is the name of the religion that is the central focus of this television series. Obviously that they use that name instead of "The Church of Scientology".In general this show is about a well know Hollywood Celebrity who just broke up with his girlfriend. "The Institute Of The Higher Mind" however holds fake auditions for a film which is actually an audition to be the girlfriend of "The Institutes" most famous member.The show is based on Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes real life. This show however needs to tighten its grip on the story lines. There is way too many people to keep track off. Josh Henderson is okay in the starring role but his acting range (so far) is as limited Tom Cruise's. What could of been a great show is muddled by "E". The show is not edgy because in reality they don't want Tom Cruise mad at them . If he is mad he will never have anything to do for the "E" Channel. That includes any type of interviews. That includes sit down interviews or stopping on a red carpet and granting one. He can also get the co- stars of his films NOT to do "E" when it comes to promoting a film. Next year I hope "The Arrangement" will have a more central focus.

Kingslaay I became interested in this show when I heard Josh Henderson was going to be in it, I have been a fan since I saw in the reboot of Dallas. However this show was not too impressive. While the concept of the arrangement is great on its own, the direction and dramatization of it was not. Megan was hard to connect with for the audience, her ordinary life and manner didn't entice viewers. The same holds true for Kyle. It would have been nice to see a famous, desired actor as actually vulnerable and looking for something real. Hence his choice of Megan but it came across as weak performances and poor directing. A great concept but the very small Bollywood and Indian reference was in poor taste and showed the writer's ignorance. More care and direction would have heightened this show's great concept. The plot was also poorly laid out for us, we failed to see clearly what was being shown and as a result did not care so much. Not sure how long this show will last, its a shame it was so poorly directed and planned.
