Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult

I've just finished this series of three episodes which I initially found interesting, I think it's great to uncover stories like this and the interviewees were incredibly brave for speaking out. But... episode two and three didn't take the story much further or resolve anything and there was a lot more filler that went off point. I wish the editors had just summed it all up in one longer episode, three episodes was totally unnecessary and a bit disrespectful of viewers time. Please Netflix - if the story doesn't go anywhere then cut it down! Stop trying to make a series when there simply isn't the content for a series.

This could've been a lot better. It's so drawn out because they insist on showing many clips of this awful "social media dancing", which isn't even good and is choreographed poorly. To make it worse, they play sound clips of the incredibly creepy and grating voice of Robert over them, which makes it even more painful to watch. Also, there's really nothing to this other than a family exploited low-IQ, gullible people to line their pockets with money. Kind of like what pastors at every mega church too. Just another Joel Osteen-lite.

You can tell this entire story in a 45 minute episode. Also there isn't much of a conclusion, yet. Premature, drawn-out series, most likely just being used as a cash grab, which is super ironic given that the context of this documentary is gullible people being exploited for money!

Wow, this one was totally binge-worthy! "Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult" is an engaging and informative Netflix documentary that dives into the unsettling world of a management firm with ties to a church. The story follows TikTok dancers as they join the firm and uncover disturbing truths about the founders' sinister agenda. The documentary kept us hooked from start to finish with its compelling storytelling and shocking revelations about how easily vulnerable people can be manipulated.

The damage inflicted by these greedy individuals, who see themselves above God, is both alarming and heartbreaking. As we learn more about their grooming tactics, it's clear that we need to reassess what is allowed to happen to vulnerable people in our society. This is a must-watch for anyone who loves cult documentaries, as it provides a thorough and chilling look at the lengths some will go to exploit others for their gain.

Netflix True Crime docuseries are usually well done and are great. This one was missing something for me.

I do not have tik toc and was unfamiliar with all of the dancing that takes place on that social media platform. I also never heard of the Shekinah cult or the 7M Managemebt Company. So I was interested in learning more.

I watched all of the series and I feel I do not know that much about the Shekinah Cult. I was expecting to learn much more. It appears they are doing a good job at keeping the inter-workings of their cult secretive.

Only a few former cult members are interviewed and they don't share that much information.

If you want to watch a true crime series without paying attention and multi-tasking then this show is one to watch.

Typical Netflix doc.

First episode is interesting, telling a tale of the TicTok dance craze phenomenon that kids seem so entranced by, personally I don't get it, but the story is about the manipulation by a "Man Of God" who in the time honoured tradition of presenting himself as an artist's manager and Christian church leader proceeds to rip off his young artists/followers.

After the first episode it just starts to drag out people's stories over the next 2 episodes, with no particular resolution. I guess they're rather hoping that eventually there'll be enough for a follow up further 2 or 3 episodes. This could have been a succinct 1 hour, 8 star programme, however as it is, it's a bloated 5 stars, tops.
