"I do understand some of the not so positive comments here but I absolutely loved this show. You do need to pay attention. The story moves quickly from one time to another and it can be tough to keep up with the timelines but it gets super easy after the third episode. A completely different story, while based somewhat on a true story ‘The Familt’ cult in Australia, it’s amazing how one ordinary woman a servant at one point becomes so famously rich cult leader. To see how some of these kids could not survive in the real world and the discovery of what happened to Asha while not a surprise was a tough awakening for Freya. "
