As with most of the recent episodes, this was completely unnecessary. There's more Oxenburg drama, more about how each of the protagonists feel guilt for bringing others into the fold, more planning for a criminal procedure. Some new: one of the first girlfriends and how Keith got his start in business, which should have been 5 or 10 minutes worth in maybe 2-4 total episodes

Warning: Spoilers
I was initially enthralled by this series, but after 7 episodes that could have easily been condensed into one (maybe two) I find myself losing patience quickly.
The side-story of spoiled little Catherine (oh, my mom is second cousins with PRINCE CHAHHHHLES) Oxenburg, is oh-so-snore inducing. I feel some empathy for her plight but the ridiculous focus this episode on different people gushing over her (most have no idea who she is) and her daughter (who really should have been charged-you can be a victim AND a criminal, ask Patti Hurst) it's becoming tedious and monotonous to follow along.
Given that the NXIVM cohorts have all been indicted (and some already receiving sentencing *cough* Claire Bronfman to 8 years last week *cough*) and Raniere and Saltzman with sentencing hearings upcoming (seriously? Saltzman is allowed out on bond?!?!) most people are well aware of this case, and the large cluster**** that surrounds it, so extending this to 9 episodes in which we're hearing the same information over and over seems like a cash grab by HBO and the producers.
Especially given the insistence on Mark Vincente's storyline that definitely intersects with India's (he calls her a 'monster' on numerous occasions according to court records) and a lot is beginning to feel incredibly forced.
Stop trying to force us into a 2-month subscription with a 9-week series and let us binge at our own speed.
