8/10

A very necessary episode in a society like ours, with its rationality and its space for spirituality, but which takes advantage, when it can, of the excess of innocence so that some fall into the hands of harmful sects. Here the background of the sect does not matter, what is relevant is to see what is behind all of them, how their impossible promises conceal an eagerness to appropriate all our possessions. Like a coarse initial kindness they cover up a later tyranny. This episode is a comic shot at Heaven's Gate and Peoples Temple. It almost makes you feel sorry that religious documentaries on Netflix didn't exist then, since there would have been more space to complete the parody.
