Disgusting
jacquelinesandra-346714 November 2021
Another documentary that proves there is no justice in this world!

You have power and money you will get away with anything! Human beings are despicable.

What a mess

This is one topic that is supposed to be intriguing. There is supernatural and crime.. obviously from the documentary itself John must have some healing powers. But that was not looked into further.. what happened was bad but so much attention was on the victims. Messy story telling it was all over the place. To many shots of scenery. Just felt like a very long and draggy documentary. Not recommend.

Very good doc. I liked the way the story was told and how it explains the evolution of this myth.

not enough

It could have been 2 episodes maximum. They focused on the victims description of how they felt way too much. We know it is disgusting. I get it really and I feel for them but no need to say this in million different ways. Instead of it focus on the details how this SOB got information of the visitors? Who were his allies? Why he is still at home? Why his house is STILL beautiful? Why is he still rich while his daughter lives in racks? And the woman he sticks scissors in the nose wasn't explained properly. Who is she? Was her tumor benign? Where are her clinical reports? Or she is a simple actor? Filmmakers didn't do their homework well enough. Guys, investigate deeply before making a documentary. If viewers end up with million questions after watching all the episodes, it means that you didn't do your job.

Mediocre

Most of this documentary consists of oral testimonies with little to no documentary or practical evidence of any of the supernatural events described. You can't dedicate a whole episode to some "miracles" with zero inquiry or research, it's neither entertaining nor useful.

Overall, the whole things is kinda bland and boring.

Not great
Alexandrina_Picanelli27 August 2021
Not to diminish the victims' ordeals, but I honestly expected a more nuanced and detailed approach to his case and at least SOME analysis of his diabolic abilities. There is basically no depth to this doccy whatsoever. Instead we get to see a lot of unexplained supernatural stuff going on, crowds of white-clad people bamboozled by his miracles and stories of then young ladies who couldn't refuse unwanted attention because of the undue influence he exercised.

Meh.

Another monster
scottandy-7875213 September 2021
Just another narcissist claiming to be connected to some god or Jesus.in order to get what he wants.there are so many and have been so many.it's a shock to me people still allow themselves to beleave it all.if they do beleave in some god or whatever then they should also beleave he punishes the wicked.so that should tell them all who these men are really.coz there either dead and in hell or in prison.must be that god punishing them .but I did enjoy watching the brave beautiful women who put him there .and feel sorry he's not in hell to .you are the real gods .all he's victims.and the followers who still protect him.shame on you all.

It's soooo BORING

The overdubbing in English was terrible. The discombobulated stories of John of God being a healer and miracle worker were blended in with tales of women being sexually assaulted by him followed by scores of his followers claiming they never saw anything. As a viewer, you don't know what to believe; is he a healer or is he a quack? Is he a holy man or a rapist? And these same women who claimed to have been sexually assaulted by John of God kept going back to him. This docuseries made it hard for you to even feel sorry for the victims because they kept going back to him to "confront" him when they should have going to the police to report him or taking their stories to the press if they felt as if they couldn't go to the police. I fell asleep through it. It is so BORING. It offered no criminal analysis of his behavior.

Play it in English, or play it in Spanish, but don't play it in both.

God warns us in the Bible to have nothing to do with mediums for it's an abomination. Also, Ignatius Loyola created the Society of Jesus, the secret army of the papacy.
