Though it could have been truncated, I thought this was surprisingly good. Interweaving re-enactments of stories from the Book of Mormon related to a double homicide in Utah, the detective-a Mormon himself-finds himself going through a trial of faith similar to the primary suspect: the husband of murdered mother and daughter, the deeper the mystery goes the more entwined it becomes with the church itself, delving into some esoteric and antiquated aspects of the LDS faith.
It was effective and compelling. I hadn't heard of the real case this had been based on or the book this adapts. But I am aware of the LDS faith and the splintering; including the offshoot of polygamy, but not where it came from. I ended up being as interested in that aspect as the murder investigation.
Stand-out acting as well. Another pleasant surprise.
