7/10
a bit too slow and a bit too long

Warning: Spoilers
As documentary series go, it's adequate, but for my tastes it was too slow and unnecessarily drawn out. Instead of 3 episodes, I would have been more interested in 2. The subject matter is not pleasant and the footage can be uncomfortable to watch. The series showed the how, and the eventual progress victim's made toward regaining their selves. For me, the biggest failure of the series is not better demonstrating the why. I found it hard to understand why these individuals would trade in their academic opportunities for this different form of education. Had the "why" been better presented, perhaps I could have been more engaged.
