9/10
Very intriguing and captivating

I started watching this series just on a whim, having never read about it. Immediately I was drawn in by the story and the parallels with the true story of The Family cult in Australia.

But I stayed for the absolutely brilliant performance of Miranda Otto. Honestly, by ep 5, I would have joined her cult!

The story is dark at times with themes of child abuse and neglect. But the story, acting and pace is all great. It is a series that keeps you on your toes. The time slips add to the drama of the series and keep the story on a cliff edge at times.

The characters are believable and portrayed by such a strong cast.

I would definitely recommend.
