#DianeBenscoter, How to Become a Cult Leader
"Cult beliefs are often a house of cards. If you were to discredit one piece of it, the whole thing will come down. Therefore, it's really important to shut down any kind of critical thinking. "
#AshaRangappa , How to Become a Cult Leader
These are pithy quotes, but don't take them as a recommendation to watch the series. Having just struggled my way through episode one, I pretty much agree with this reviewer that;
"...its six half-hour episodes offer thumbnail sketches of six wacko cult leaders, none beyond the depth of your average Wikipedia page..."
Which is a shame. Because a doco series that dives deep into cult dynamics, in an accessible way, would be a tremendous contribution to public discourse.
