Netflix Original Documentary 🎥 Review: “Murder Among the Mormons”
Critics rating 90% Users 76%.
Rated: TV 14 with three - 1 hour episodes and an IMDb of 7.1/10.
High-stakes American true crime documentary television miniseries following Mark Hofmann, one of the most notable forgers in history, who created forgeries related to the Latter Day Saint movement. It premiered on Netflix on March 3, 2021.
I was 35 years old when this was going down and aware of the NEWS, however for the life of me I cant remember anything about this story. Hence it caught my interest and I binged the 3 episodes in one sitting, glued to my seat for what was to come next.
To say the least building to the conclusion was well done!. So many documentaries can be very dry in keeping ones interest…..this one was not.
Well worth a watch. Pacing and editing made it interesting as they intertwined the archival footage with present day interviews. For me the best part was the discovery and science of the motive, and I thought they did an amazing job taking the time to explain how it was accomplished.
Knowing absolutely nothing about the Mormon Church this was a fascinating story & well told. I was quite taken aback as to the skills and “balls” Mark Hofmann has……..right down to the very end of the series……be sure and watch to the very end!
p.s. There’s a very interesting quote by the perpetrator that is applicable as to “what is truth” (I will not reveal), however it is quite interesting and unforgettable!
