7/10
Laying it on thick
30 April 2022
Let's get one thing out of the way, I'm an inactive Mormon. I grew up in the church and I'm surrounded by it through my family and friends that are still active. Now that's out of the way, they lay the Mormon thing on REALLY thick. No one just quotes the leaders of the church or the scriptures. Especially in every day life, work, schooling, and conversation. It's not talked about on a daily basis or all the time. I get these people were fanatics and what they did was disgusting. Great. But it gets cheesy to someone who knows what mormons are like. If you're trying to get us to know that everyone in this story is LDS, except the out of state detective, Bravo. Mission accomplished. But from someone who has lived in it and continues to live around it, it gets corny the more you lay it on.

Edit: Another odd one. When Mormons meet, talk, or talk about Native Americans they don't call them "Lamanites". They call them by the tribe they belong to, "Native Americans", or "Indians", just like everyone else.

Other than that, it's good. I gave it a 7 because the I like the casting, and I would like to see how they tell this story.
