Troy S @TroyStyles Dec 7 A true immersive ride into the dark, tormented mind of Ruby Franke and those who were subjected to her vile, disruptive rage. What normalcy would equate to perfection would never live up to her presumptive desire for the unachievable preconceived outward perception that molded her. An ethical, tasteful, and seemingly accurate depiction of what drove her, the unimaginable torture she inflicted, and the disturbing ideology that shaped her descent, delivers an unflinching look at the fractures beneath a polished façade. It exposes the manipulation, the spiritual distortion, and the psychological warfare that consumed her being. More than recounting a crime—it submerges the viewer in the slow erosion of reality that allowed such horror to flourish. With meticulous storytelling and unwavering sensitivity, it paints a portrait that is as haunting as it is necessary, forcing us to confront the truth: monsters are not always born in darkness—sometimes, they paint their own self portrait.

Why did her weak husband Kevin blinded by love not see this? Especially when the equally insane Jodi came into their lives & eventually forcing him & the two eldest children out, brainwashing him into thinking if he leaves he will help the family rid their lives of demons.

Religious fanaticism at it's finest! Even before things got really weird for the Frankes, they were part of a cult. Mormonism is scary all by itself, without the likes of Ruby & Jodi. And Kevin should have trusted his instincts the first time he walked into the ConneXions meeting. For me no questions were left unanswered so I have nothing but praise for this doc series. Unfortunately I was left infuriated by Kevin Franke's blindness and stupidity. I just want to smack em. It's so hard to understand such blind faith in what is really utter superstitious nonsense.

Ruby certainly seemed to be going down a path of psychosis. It is sad that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints seems to get blamed for some of Ruby's and Jodi's actions. In my experience when patients get psychotic, religious delusions are quite usual. See more Read all reviews
