Desperately Seeking Soulmate isn’t just a worthy investigation; it’s also a philosophical query: Why do people believe what they choose to believe?

“Desperately Seeking Soulmate” makes a compelling case that few impulses are as ripe to be preyed upon as the intoxicating promise of finding true love -- a sales pitch that possesses the same powerful pull as a moth to the flame.

Worth watching for a rare inside look at the lifestyles of cult leaders and for its first-hand interviews with their victims.

It's sort of like the Tinder Swindler meets any of the cult documentaries, complete with garish and brazen cult leaders.

3/5

The three-part series offers an illuminating look at the evolution of a thriving online-only community that mixes beliefs of deep spiritual love connections based on karmic law with delusions of religious grandeur.

I give a lot of credit to the victims who were willing to appear on camera. The older I get the more I realize that brainwashing is really simple whether it is Q-Anon, Trump, crypto, religion etc. This show is especially interesting because in this case, "Jeff and Shelaia" are not only unappealing but are complete dolts. Jeff is incoherent while Shelaia appears to be stoned the whole time......unable to speak or just simple repeating his exact words.
