You're entitled to your opinion, but no way for like a dozen reasons... but I'm willing to give it a shot. I am rewatching ep 1 right now. Put it on over the weekend but it didn't catch me. I thought it was something else reading this thread and got all excited for a new case.
These type of documentaries are always the toughest to watch. Not sure I want to start this.
I love my wife dearly but sometimes she can be a little dopey. She was the one who mentioned this series to me after she heard about it on Facebook I think. She said she went to watch the first episode to see if she'd like it and then we'd watch together. Somehow she managed to watch the final episode and said she was completely lost and any spoilers were ruined for her.
Let me preface to say that I am Catholic and have only watched the first three episodes. It is obviously very disturbing but there are bad seeds in any religion or race. Most of the kindest and genuine people I have ever met were from the Catholic church. It has disgusted me to see stories of Priests molesting kids but those stories are very rare and not the norm by any means.
As I was watching, I was thinking how a lot of people were probably saying "F the Catholic Church" but I was saying "God bless Sister Cathy"*. I obviously understand the former sentiment and even felt it some myself, but I tended to lean towards the latter.
Yes, it picks up and you start finding out the disturbing stuff in episode 2 I believe.
No, not IMO. It is very slow and really lacks any WTF/OMG/bombshell moments. I would give it another episode or 2 before throwing in the towel. But spoiler alert, no payoff.
What really irked me was how the scandal goes all the way to top cardinals who tried to brush this all under the rug by moving the scumbag priest around on different assignments. Just really shady all the way to the top. You can't just say it's the one dude who is complicit in all this.
The Keepers was awesome but it's not even on the same planet as MAM. Not because it isn't also a compelling story, but because the MAM directors had unprecedented, once in a lifetime access to the story as it unfolded.
