Current Favorite Things To Watch

I am totally into Leah Remini's Scientology and the Aftermath, I was thrilled that the show won an Emmy for DocuSeries and started the second season. I will admit to being intrigued by Scientology when Tom Cruise jumped on Oprah's couch and then started a slow but dynamic meltdown over Brooke Shields book on postpartum depression, therapy and depression medication.

I Googled the same stuff I think most of us did and came to the conclusion what the actual fuck and how do people really get wrapped up into a religion based on science fiction books.  I honestly didn't dig very deep. When Leah - who I loved watching on the King of Queens - very publically broke with Scientology I started watching her reality show and became very interested in her upcoming documentary on the aftermath of breaking with this religion - which frankly is a cult.

The more she and Mike Render dig into and expose the practices of this "church" the more I am just floored at how - one they are getting away with what they are doing and two how they are still able to recruit more "followers" and retain the ones they have.

The other binge watch I have at the moment comes from the few weeks I had such bad insomnia I fell down the Youtube hole and discovered the Lordan Arts channel. He has a few series that he does on his Youtube channel that just capture my interest and before I know it I have watched hours of his episodes.

John Lordan has a few series that he regularly updates - they are all centred around missing people and unsolved mysteries - generally unsolved murders. He occasionally throws in a vlog and what he calls an itchy mystery that are usually paranormal in nature.  All of his episodes are researched very well, with facts and theories explained. He does a wonderful job at being unbiased and presenting all the information he finds.  He will tell you what he thinks, or what parts he doesn't agree with but never sells you on his point of view. He encourages you to look into the case presented, do research and share your theories.
