Less 80s nostalgia. More shows set in late 90's/early 2000's, please.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Meanwhile, Seduced -- a 4-episode miniseries by Starz about the same cult, but focused on India Oxenberg's story -- is much, much better based on the two episodes that are out. We weren't planning on watching more NXIVM stuff after The Vow fizzled out, but decided to check it out after hearing multiple people talk about how much more compelling it is. And yeah, it is much more visceral. Deeper analysis of cult dynamics from a variety of voices, information presented more concretely. It certainly helps that The Vow has helped share the general story more, but we get more voices of former members, researchers on cults and cult tactics, useful background info. Also India's grandmother -- an actual princess -- is an amazing shittalker.
