This show might be staged to some extent. The sisters are real, the stories are real but when it is happening might not be. If you watch the show, there are situations that are in the news (like the raid on the compound) but the people they are helping IN TH SHOW have more then likely already escaped, they are just recreating the events. Do your research before you call the show totally fake people. These girls, and women have really gone through everything they discuss, they are still fighting these issues. I think they only thing 100% fake about the show is the "Insider" They might have been real at one point, but in the show its all fabricated because if you listen you can hear that it is a different person in some episodes.

I just happened to catch an episode of this tonight and I was so close to changing the channel but then I saw the opening theme and I was shocked. I knew cults existed but wow was I enlightened tonight. this is one of the saddest most inhumane things I've ever heard of. the fact that this "order" exists and that the law enforcement and powerful people of Utah just look away from the incest and abuse is horrid. I'm not sure about these negative reviews and how other people are saying that it's just members of the cult trying to downplay this show and get people to think its fake but I truly don't believe this is fake. do they overdramatize certain scenes? yes. do they cut to commercials at cheesy times just to make it more "exicting"? yes. but I truly believe that this show is the true portrayal of 3 girls who made it out of this cult and are trying to help others do the same. it's just unfortunate that the network that this show is on thinks that they have to use cheap reality show tactics to get viewers. I was moved to tears listening to how brainwashed these women/girls are. it's a very sad situation that I don't think will ever get fixed because of the power/money of the men who run this group. so decide for yourself if you think this show is scripted or not. my vote is no and I'll definitely be watching again soon.

I spent 10 years as a drug and alcohol counselor mostly, working with the Dept. of Corrections.I spent 7 years as a Fugitive Recovery Agent. I have spent the last several years as a Private Investigator.I believe I have much to offer the program, (not the TV program but more of the 'process').I believe I have a lot to offer. Are opportunities available?I have a lot of life left and a need to do something for my fellow human beings.Thank you, CWand keep up the good work!

I expected more from this obviously fake and scripted "reality" show. The whole thing is promoted to be incredibly intense, but I found myself bored and surfing the web while the most "intense" scenes were happening. You can tell that most scenes are completely set up. Just imagining each scene with a camera crew was absolutely ridiculous. Granted, the same could be said for most fictional movies, but it should feel somewhat genuine in a docu-series. This show attempts to uncover the bad side of polygamy, but Escaping Polygamy is a far cry from "exposing" crime (unless you call showing super outdated photos and video clips with all of the faces blurred exposing crime). Not to mention the terrible acting! Most of the viewers are probably Kingston Clan members themselves laughing their butts off. LMN, this one is not a keeper.
