I have watched a shorter length documentary about the whole Rajneesh scandal on youtube. I would say don't bother watching that one, it's completely biased. This documentary is is completely unbiased, it shows everything, all points of views possible, it's very detailed and doesn't hide anything. It doesn't judge any of the people that were showed in the documentary and instead shows their point of view, their part of the story. The whole thing is just really well built, there is so much old footage that I have no idea where they even got everything. And even when the footage wasn't provided, netflix inserted their own well made animation into it.
The music choice, subs in like 5 different languages, cinematography, everything is just made to capture you in the film and get hyped so that you want to return to the other episode.
The most interesting part , for me, was the end, seeing how things turned out for Sheela, Osho's commune and the interviewees who were involved in that whole scandal.
