In this hourlong docuseries, actress Leah Remini turns investigative reporter, she says, to "share the shocking truth about Scientology," the secretive, controversial church that Remini herself was a member of for years. With her personal experience acting as a driving force, Remini -- along with high-level former Scientology executives and members -- relates shocking stories of abuse and harassment alleged by ex-practitioners who claim their lives have been affected even well after they left the organization. The Church of Scientology, which has made multiple attempts to have A&E Network pull the series, refers to Remini as a "has-been actress" who's exploiting her former religion to make money.

Unfortunately, neither the pre-air special nor the premiere episode attempts to tackle these big questions, instead presenting more of the same interviews and explainers about the religion we've already seen in the first two seasons. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

02/01/2019 How much more evidence is required before something is done to put a end to this money guzzling organisations tax free status. The show is brilliant. Please keep the spotlight shining on the dangerous and destructive practices of the organisation, people inside are depending on it. See more stephanie m @RT95190881 01/12/2019 Absolutely brilliant series of exposes that breaks down the diabolical nature of this "non" religion. Remini has put herself and her career on the line to be a voice for those people who are adversely affected by this gruesome cult. Thank you everyone who puts together these episodes and who appears in them and shares inside and first-hand knowlege and experiences. Why the IRS was allowed to give this greedy, insane cult tax-free status is an outrage. Thanks Leajh Remini, Mike Rinder, A&E and everyone involved in the making of this astounding series. May this pathetic cult begjn to unravel at the seams. See more 12/18/2018 This is a really well-done series! See more Read all reviews
