Netflix's "The Family" Is The New Shocking Docu-Series You Have To See To Believe!

The show is based on the books The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power and C Street: The Fundamentalist Threat to American Democracy by journalist Jeff Sharlet. The show incorporates interviews and dramatized reenactments that keep you on the edge of your seat.

But what exactly does “The Family” mean, you might ask? The Family, also known as The Fellowship Foundation, is a secretive Christian Conservative movement that influences our politicians. They focus on spreading the gospel of Jesus, but instead of focusing on themes of love, they strictly harp on power. 

Throughout the series, you learn precisely how they get away with it, how much power they have, and how they have shaped the world in which we live. It’s frightening to find out that people are being influenced right under our nose and we don’t see a single part of it. And that is the point of The Family -- to stay invisible, influence, and grow in strength. They are like the most famous people you don’t know. 

"The Family" is a 5-part series, so you can easily binge-watch it within a day, but I must warn you, it will leave you questioning a lot of things. Imagine an invisible underground cult-like group that helps to run parts of the world, and you have no say. Happy binge-watching!
