Omg when she said her arresting officer took her in as a foster after she got out of the hospital, my heart. I’m so glad she had someone there to show her what true unconditional love and respect is ♥️
-
Literally started crying when she said her arresting officer fostered her. There really is some good left in the world
-
Cults y'all should check out: The Ant Hill Kids, Fundamental Mormonism, The Solar Temple, The Moonies, and Aum Shinrikyo.
-
Hearing her say about being fostered literally gave me chills. What an amazing turn around for her ❤
-
I can't even listen to this... for a start, pick hosts who aren't colossal embarrassments. Self-absorbed and so aloof they have no idea what they are talking about.
-
@23:35 I did the exact same motion when she said her arresting officer adopted her. This person they interviewed is proof people can change, I'm glad she shared her story, thank you Diane.
-
Still so insane to me that people still think he shouldn’t have been arrested because he “never actually killed anyone”.
-
Joyce's 70s-style orange outfit is killing it! I don't think many people could pull that off, but she makes it look amazing.
-
Would love an episode about the Branch Davidians in Waco, TX. That one is controversial because of the way it ended and the way that authorities handled (or mishandled!) that situation. Loved this show!!
-
I love this series! what Joyce said about Manson loving being in jail is so true and it's disgusting that people love him, send him things, and put him on merchandise today. I can't wait to see what you guys cover next season!
-
Fun fact: the Manson Family mansion was actually owned by a member of the Beach Boys. He invited Charles Manson into his home and helped him to get a record deal and write songs. When things started to go bad, Wilson just straight up abandoned his house to get away from Manson.
-
This was a awesome series Joyce and Merle are truly amazing hosts because of their compassion towards the victims or survivors and speak the truth of their own feelings about the topic. Using the Yay or Nope is a good technique because not everyone has the same opinion can't wait for the next series good luck ladies xx PS ideas for cults to cover Notorious Motorcycle Clubs, Illuminati or Freemasons
-
HEAVEN'S GATE!!!!! I could not tell you why but I love love love learning about the heaven's gate people. It's such a weird cult, so specific. Please do heaven's gate.
-
OMG WHAT A SEASON!!! I cannot wait for the next season, y’all are awesome! ❤
-
Fun fact: Manson grew up in my home state of West Virginia, specifically McMechan, 2 to 5 miles north of Moundsville. His mom Kathleen Maddox actually served time in the women's facility at the West Virginia Penitentiary. Charlie Manson wanted to come to the penitentiary and wrote to the warden. The warden responded with four words: "When Hell freezes over." His letter is actually on display at the museum at the West Virginia Penitentiary
-
Wait this was a season finale?! Next season can we have more episodes lol i love yall!
-
such an interesting series, great job ladies!
-
Spahn Ranch used to be a western movie set. So they weren’t camping out in the woods, they were living in left over set buildings. They’ve since been demolished.
-
This show is so good! Congrats! Can't wait for the next season!!
