This documentary is very run-of-the-mill for Netflix, and that's not a terrible thing. The visuals of both individuals and media snippets (the highlighted columns suggesting investigation) are wonderful and trademark Netflix. Like Netflix's best, this documentary sticks to an important and contemporary theme. This one happens to be the human cost of religion not speaking truth to power, but influencing the powers that be. The theme held solid, but this is also Netflix. President Trump, as if by demand, needed to be implicated in the narrative of a foreign policy scheme to elevate totalitarian regimes, such as Russia. Politics aside, the documentary is not interested in helping its viewers understand the benefits the United States could reap of a Christian Russia, indeed, a Russia literally anything else than the regime is now. Besides episode 3, this is a solid and focused documentary you'll likely learn from.
