I've never been a joiner, so I've never had much sympathy for people who get drawn into cults - or even serious religion.
This show really examines the things that make people join cults, and makes some of the behavior a bit more understandable. I find it absolutely riveting.
"Meyerism" is sort of a mix of Scientology and a hippie commune. The central character is Eddie, who joined the cult when it helped to straighten out his life. He's been a star pupil, but is starting to have doubts. His wife grew up in the cult because her parents were founding members, so her obedience is a lot stronger, but events happen that eventually challenge her beliefs as well.
Well written and very well acted, this is a very addictive show.
