Keep Sweet Pray and Obey on Netflix is one of the most uncomfortable docuseries on the sect of a Mormon church. Check out the fan reviews.

Disturbed Viewers Took to Twitter the Trauma of Watching ‘Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey’, a Netflix True-Crime Documentary on Warren Jeffs

Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey on Netflix is a documentary from Rachel Dretzin that
dropped on the streamer on June 8th. The four-part documentary offers a
disturbing look at the exploits of Rulon and Warren Jeffs and what life is like
in a cult. Hulu also recently released another show based on the crimes in a
Mormon society, starring Andrew Garfield. 

The show is pretty disturbing and its content, quite triggering. Therefore, ever
since its release on the platform, viewers have begun to share their views on
Twitter. 


WHAT IS THE FOUR-PART DOCUMENTARY SERIES ON NETFLIX ABOUT?

The latest documentary tracks the history of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) and its leaders. Dubbed the Ultimate Prophet,
Rulon Jeffs had convinced his followers into practicing Polygamy. He himself had
78 wives at the time of his death.

He continued to take young women as wives even when he was 85. After his death,
he soon took his position as the Ultimate Prophet. He then began abusing the
women in the cult. In 2008, the sect was busted and Warren was found guilty of
counts of child sexual assault and is still serving time in jail.

WHAT ARE THE FANS SAYING ABOUT KEEP SWEET PRAY AND OBEY ON NETFLIX?

Fans, for one, were disturbed and shocked by the contents of Keep Sweet: Obey
and Prey [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/keep-sweet-obey-and-pray]. The realities
of the Mormon cult seemed mind boggling to some of them because they couldn’t
digest the level of atrocities and abuse within the community.

WHAT DO THE CRITICS SAY?

According to the Decider
[https://decider.com/2022/06/08/keep-sweet-pray-and-obey-netflix-review/], the
docu-series deserves a watch.

“STREAM IT. If you want insight into a closed society that is only known via
blaring headlines, then watch Keep Sweet: Pray And Obey on Netflix
[https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news]. Just be ready for a narrative that
will make you uncomfortable and angry at the same time.”

Roger Ebert’s
[https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/keep-sweet-pray-and-obey-netflix-review-2022]review
is rather mixed, “The trauma created by the FLDS on its members was systemic,
far-reaching, and unfathomably insidious. This documentary approaches its
talking heads with empathy, but it becomes uncomfortable itself when this series
about child brides feels like it’s simply dumping their trauma onto viewers,
letting them sift through these various horror stories rather than providing
much illumination.”
