The Hulu adaptation of Jon Krakauer’s book rebukes Mormon zealots but doesn’t fully escape their point of view.

The primary criticism of this review is that the book and the show didn't adequately describe the differences between the LDS and FLDS. I thought the book did so quite well. For that matter, the show does too, drawing a contrast between the detective's faith and that of the Lafferty's. That said, the book was really good. The show defaults to a typical Hollywood police procedural and doesn't address the foundational history of the LDS church nearly as well as the book was able to do.
