I loved Leah Remini's attitude towards the organization and admire how she deals with the pressure ever since she has left, so it was a no-brainer for me to watch the show just to see what she put together but after watching the first episode, I knew that this program was something really special. She put together a program that shows the seriousness of the issues regarding the church but mixes it with comedic moments, that come out of her very laid back personality and her natural comedic talent. She brings together the most important former Scientologist and critics to tell a story of abuse, forced abortions, violence and apathy within the church that causes families to break apart and people are being ruined after leaving. God bless Leah, Mike Rinder and the team and the producers of A&E, as well as the participants, because this program was desperately needed and couldn't have been made any better. I hope and pray that it can cause some change in the organization and stop further disconnection. I pray that one day, the organization breaks apart and people who truly believe can practice their beliefs without paying a fortune and without being in constant fear. I hope and pray for all of them.
Love this program...what I can't understand is WHY do soooo many people become involved with this fairytale business??? They need to be totally shutdown!
This is hands down, one of the best documentaries that I have ever seen. She is revealing the sick and demented brain washing that is Scientology. I never realized it was as controlling as it is but it explains a lot. It is no wonder Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman had to jump through so many hoops when they left Tom Cruise. Remini is there to explain a lot of Scientology terms but for the most part she just let's the people tell their story. The church is revealed as a true, blue cult. No wonder the church is so mad at her. What makes this docuseries so relevant is the fact Remini was actually a member of the church for many years as were all of the people they interviewed. That gives it more credibility. This was very well produced and incredibly interesting.

Hands down one of the best documentaries I have seen in a very very long time. My heart bleeds for those poor people who managed to escape. America seriously needs to consider reforming their religion policies. The documentary is detailed and full of information. Each episode is very good. Not one episode did my mind wander off. She manages to keep you glued to the screen to the very end. Every time an episode ends I cant wait for the next one. Even if you are not a documentary person you will enjoy this! Well done A&E, Leah Remini and all the people involved for giving the public a top quality documentary exposing these scientology fraudsters!
All who watched this series must be ENRAGED! It's a DISGUSTING TRAVESTY/CRIME that the GOV'T, not only continues to give them TAX EXEMPT status, but hasn't SHUT THIS CULT DOWN!!!! WHO'S BEING PAID OFF ????? Does Scientology have DIRT on the IRS ??? We should ALL call our Congress and Senate Representatives, as well as local authorities and STOP the ABUSE and UTTER DESTRUCTION of the lives of all of the CHILDREN and ADULTS, who are caught in Scientology's Web of TORTURE!!!
PURE EVIL !!!
