KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Opinion02122 This is basically the same story in each episode. There are three girls, who years ago escaped a polygamist group, and now help others to leave. They seem to have volunteer bodyguards who escort them on their quests. They add dramatic scenes by using hushed voices and glances over their shoulders, watching for people spying on them who might be reporting them to the elders, or cars that might be following them.The threat for these people may well be real, but it's always the same story over and over.I started watching because I am interested in polygamy and those cults that use it as a lifestyle. I thought I might learn something. But, I soon got bored.If you are interested in learning about polygamy, there are excellent documentaries about the lifestyle, and its abuses, which will tell you much more, much better.

Syl Believe it or not, polygamy is still happening in America. This program shows how three sisters from polygamy help others escape Kingston clan, a subset of The Mormons. Bill Kurtis did an episode about the Kingstons and their secretive order. The Kingstons are like the FLDS but without prairie dresses. The Kingstons are a dangerous sect run by men who marry young girls to old men without a choice. If I was one of these girls, I would run as fast as I can. One of the girls had $60,000 in a Kingston Bank and they would only let her take $5,000 at most. The sister escaped to Seattle where another sister attends law school. The Kingston clan has already sent somebody to Seattle to bring her home. The Kingston clan is a cult of many secrets like the FLDS.

Jay Paugh I think the bad reviews are written by the polygamists who are not happy being exposed. I recommend watching this and making up your own mind. From what I know of Mormons both FLDS and mainstream they are major creeps. I don't see anything fake about it. Read some books on the subject. They are secretive and don't like for people to know anything about them. Jon Krakauer has an excellent book titled Under the Banner of Heaven where you can be educated on the history of the entire kooky religion. When they did an episode out near where I live in southern Utah it was the best. Most of those women don't leave because they are terrified and know nothing of the real world. They are not allowed TV or internet. It's true. Read about it and judge the show for yourself.

jackspratstarfire I expected more from this obviously fake and scripted "reality" show. The whole thing is promoted to be incredibly intense, but I found myself bored and surfing the web while the most "intense" scenes were happening. You can tell that most scenes are completely set up. Just imagining each scene with a camera crew was absolutely ridiculous. Granted, the same could be said for most fictional movies, but it should feel somewhat genuine in a docu-series. This show attempts to uncover the bad side of polygamy, but Escaping Polygamy is a far cry from "exposing" crime (unless you call showing super outdated photos and video clips with all of the faces blurred exposing crime). Not to mention the terrible acting! Most of the viewers are probably Kingston Clan members themselves laughing their butts off. LMN, this one is not a keeper.
