Paint by numbers - serviceable and forgettable.
There are no great revelations in the series and no particular style or artistry. I'd never heard the story but it was obvious from early on in the first episode where it's going.It seems like the producers were looking for a story that happened long enough ago to be largely forgotten but recently enough to have lots of video available.
I don't think we get any real insight into Mark Hoffman. We also don't learn anything new about Mormonism.
It just feels like a minor, forgettable example of a certain genre of documentary designed to provide content for Netflix rather than tell an interesting story or cast light on an aspect of humanity.
It isn't awful or objectionable it's just not very good.
score 5/10
