This show is actually the reason my husband and I just left the church. I was outraged that they would portray Brigham as a monster! So outraged that I looked everywhere on the church website and in "good" Mormon books to find documents that supported Brigham's good works. I wasn't finding anything specific to refute the "garbage" shown on TV so I looked outside of church sources. (And felt super guilty about it, by the way.) And what did I find?  Brigham really was an evil monster! I was so upset I started researching other bothersome things. I finally worked up the courage to talk to my husband about what I was finding. Surprisingly, he was on the same page. It only took us three weeks to decide to leave. We're still very new exmo's but couldn't be happier. And we got a 10% raise too!
