Wild Wild Country: Season 1

"It takes the time to dwell in every conceivable emotion, and your opinions of certain individuals may shift repeatedly throughout the six episodes."

"Wild Wild Country ends up being a character study, an attempt to suss out whether Bhagwan and Sheela really bought what they were selling...stylistic quibbles are minor given the sheer scope of the series."

"What this is about, at bottom, is the delights of storytelling - the story that the Ways are expertly telling and the sometimes contradictory, sometimes reinforcing stories that their subjects have to tell."

"What seems like a straightforward story of culture clash spins into something more disturbing, engrossing and gross than you could possibly imagine."

"More than anything, though, it's about humans and the mad, stupid stuff we need to do to fill up our mad, far-too clever brains."

"It's a twisty story that goes to very shocking and unexpected places."

"Hey, it is still an exhaustive and utterly absorbing piece of work by brothers Maclain and Chapman Way."

"Compelling if occasionally slow viewing."

"Even if you think you know this story, this doc has more dirt than you could have imagined... A true only-in-America story. God help us all."

"We're no longer simply worried about the acts of a malevolent stranger, but the way that motivated groups can alter our society. The archival footage may be decades old, but Netflix's new hit ultimately asks us to consider the here and now."
