I meant I started watching it and couldn't stop. How creepy is that story?

Now I have to watch them all.

is more of a hillbilly elegy thing..I find the part about Sherry Shriner especially nasty, as despite begin dead, her ministry is still out there.

it is so hard for the Q followers to stop believing. Their whole world view has to be changed because their current one is so far removed from any reality whatsoever.

It ALSO shows that somewhere, deep down, they know what they are following is nonsense. The guy who was shot knew what to question when he began to question whether Shriner was for real. "Is martial law a myth? No, for sure that's real. And the economy? I just don't know what to believe." (Paraphrasing.) But he knew exactly which were the next two biggest misinformations comprising his world view.
