Not Woke, Cautionary Tale Of Extremism
Great show based on the Lafferty brothers (who are very real) and Andrew Garfield kills it as the fictional (but based on a real detective) Jeb Pyre.
The show is based on the murders by the Laffertys and the harsh treatment of those who don’t conform to strict LDS views whether by not supporting polygamy, the writings of Joseph Smith, etc.
My one flaw with the show exactly however is it can drag on with backstory, building up characters other than the Pyre household.
Great watch overall on a very real group of people , even if it has some fictional elements .
